Cable Protection System for Offshore Wind Project in Singapore
To support the growing offshore wind development in Southeast Asia, our polyurethane subsea cable protection system was recently deployed in a major offshore wind farm project near Singapore. The client required a durable and easy-to-install solution to protect power export cables from impact, abrasion, and seabed interference—especially in cable touchdown zones and rocky seabed areas.
Project challenges
• Harsh marine environment with high current velocity
• Cable exposure to seabed abrasion and fishing activity
• Tight installation schedule and limited access windows
• Need for long-term, maintenance-free protection
Our solution
We supplied a modular interlocking tubular cable protection system made of high-performance polyurethane elastomer, customized to meet the client’s exact cable diameter and project specifications. Key features included:
• Hardness range: Shore D 60, optimized for impact absorption
• Color: High-visibility yellow for ROV-friendly installation
• Installation: Rapid deployment using symmetrical clamp design and marine-grade stainless-steel strapping
Location: Installed at multiple sections along the export and inter-array cables, particularly in high-risk zones like cable exits, J-tube transitions, and crossing points
Results
• Reduced cable damage risk in vulnerable seabed locations
• Faster installation time due to modular design
• Improved operational safety and long-term durability
• Positive client feedback on ease of integration with existing systems
This project highlights the importance of reliable cable protection tube in offshore wind applications. Our polyurethane system provided a cost-effective, long-life solution tailored for Singapore’s demanding marine environment, helping safeguard critical energy infrastructure and reduce lifecycle costs.
