The i-Trencher Trenching System redefines subsea cable and product burial with unmatched precision and efficiency. Engineered to trench and bury products up to 2.7 meters below the seabed, this advanced system delivers the rock-cutting power of pipeline ploughs while offering superior control and maneuverability—without requiring a high bollard pull support vessel.
Designed for both rigid and flexible products, including HVAC, HVDC, and fiber optic cables, the i-Trencher excels in diverse applications:
- Inter-country interconnector cables
- Offshore wind farm inter-array and export cables
- Electrification of offshore installations
With a proven track record, the i-Trencher has successfully buried over 800 km of cables across European waters and tackled challenging calcarenite rock formations in the Middle East. Its vertical loading system ensures seamless operations with no lateral offset, enhancing efficiency and reliability.
When paired with T-1200 or T-1500 systems on a single trenching support vessel, the i-Trencher adapts effortlessly to varying seabed conditions. This powerful combination of jetting and heavy soils trenching delivers a cost-effective, one-vessel solution for complex projects.
Enhanced with cutting-edge features, the i-Trencher continues to set the standard for subsea trenching. Its robust design and extensive project experience make it the trusted choice for offshore energy projects worldwide. Choose the i-Trencher for precision, versatility, and proven performance in subsea trenching.
