Comprehensive service offering
Our cable installation capabilities do not stop at the shoreline.
A-2-Sea installs the shore end telecoms cable into a manhole and terminates the cable into a sea-land joint providing mechanical and water ingress protection. A-2-Sea also offers considerable experience and expertise in undertaking the beach and land jointing element of subsea cable installation projects.
This service can often extend to shore-end operations or more complex deepwater subsea installation projects.
Subsea Cable Installation Jointing Support
A-2-Sea's highly experienced team carry out shipboard jointing activities, as well as land-based work. A-2-Sea jointers regularly support cable installation projects with all major system providers worldwide.
We perform periodic surveys of the land routes to assess the position and condition of both the joints and the cable route. Hazards or restrictions on access are identified and recorded to allow future jointing activities to proceed unhindered. A survey enables specific development work to be carried out before any remedial action is required.
Development projects and consulting work for both on-shore and offshore applications can be undertaken to meet agreed specifications and requirements. All necessary equipment for the installation of powered or non-powered optical cable joints is owned and maintained by A-2-Sea. Our comprehensive installation service also includes cable laying support, cabling operations and beach excavation, allowing a rapid response to any fault along the land route.
