ROVs and undersea cable maintenance

The number of remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), as well as their potential uses, have increased over the years since they were first conceptualized. As the number of installed undersea cables continue to increase, the potential for external aggression relating to these cables increases. Today, it is essential that each cable through its associated maintenance agreement have access to a remotely operated vehicle to ensure repairs on buried sections of cables. With SCARAB vehicles, it is possible to bury and rebury (post repair) these cables to minimize future faults and service disruption
