SeaVex Swings Into Action

Pharos Offshore Group has designed and built a customized articulation and ballast frame for its SeaVex range of subsea controlled flow excavation (CFE) systems.

The new design will allow the SeaVex CFE’s to target excavate products in the vertical plain or at an angle of up to 45° during excavation operations.

The articulated SeaVex unit will be used to tackle the decommissioning market and rock dump removal campaigns.

“The new designs for the SeaVex systems will allow us to bring forward the correct solution to the market by employing the best suited configuration of the systems, be that in form of a dual, single or a tilting unit,” Liam Cairney, Sales and Business Development Manager, said.

The new system was recently used in the German North Sea by SeaTerra.

Martin Petzold, Offshore Manager for SeaTerra, said: “Pharos Offshore provided us with an efficient solution. Having a non-intrusive system that could work on a live and sensitive product was invaluable to the project. The SeaVex system worked in-line with our expectations and lowered the product to the required depth in good time.”
