Apparatus for locating elongate object in a trench in a floor of a body of water
An apparatus for locating an elongate object in the seabed is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a body and a pair of jetting swords arranged on lateral sides of the elongate object to form a trench in the seabed. Chain cutters arranged on lateral sides of the elongate object cut respective parts of a trench in the seabed and are moveable relative to the body between a stowed position and a deployed position, independently of the jetting swords.
Low-profile transformer and related components, systems, and methods
A transformer includes an outer cabinet and an inner tank. The outer cabinet includes a base configured to be installed below ground level, a housing wall configured to be installed at least partially below ground level, and a sill coupled to the housing wall and configured to be installed above ground level. The sill includes a top access opening between an interior space of the outer cabinet and an exterior of the outer cabinet. The inner tank is disposed on the base at least partially below ground level and includes an active part including a transformer circuit. The inner tank includes a plurality of terminals electrically coupled to the active part, each terminal extending from the inner tank into the interior space of the outer cabinet along a respective terminal axis that passes through the top access opening at a respective upward angle with respect to ground level.
JUNCTION BOX
A junction box can include an enclosure defining a first enclosure end and a second enclosure end, a cavity extending into the enclosure from the first enclosure end towards the second enclosure end, the first enclosure end defining an opening to the cavity; a mounting insert removably positioned within the opening; and a locking collar removably coupled to the first enclosure end, the locking collar being repositionable on the first enclosure end between a tightened configuration and a loose configuration, the locking collar securing the mounting insert to the enclosure in the tightened configuration.
Method and Apparatus for Inserting an Elongate Object Into a Trench in a Sea Floor
A vehicle (2) for deploying a cable (4) into a trench (8) in the seabed (10) is disclosed. The vehicle (2) comprises a body (12) adapted to move relative to the trench (8) in the sea bed (10), and a bellmouth (18) for engaging the cable (4) and mounted to the body, wherein the bellmouth (18) is adapted to define an open channel (20) in a direction facing the trench (8) for engaging the cable (4).
