Global Subsea Excavation Specialist James Fisher Subsea Excavation Enhances its Offering with Two New Ultra Low Draft (ULD) for the Offshore Wind Sector
Wednesday 7 November 2018
The T4000 ULD, a re-engineered version of the T4000, now offers shallow water excavation with the world’s most stable CFE system. The stability and single outlet give the narrowest, most accurate trench of any CFE system worldwide.
It was designed to meet the needs of clients seeking a more powerful, more localised trenching machine to tackle shallow water and, like the SP6000 ULD, has been developed specifically for the European offshore wind market. The first project with the new tool has just been completed off Germany.
The expanded range can operate in water depths from 1m to 300m, handling soils ranging from soft sand to clays with shear strength of 300kPa. Its development follows the success of JFSE’s TwinR2000 ULD. Its popularity demonstrated the need to re-engineer additional tools for more options. Both new tools will be based in the UK and European sector to service the offshore wind farm market.
