Subseacable Communications Cable Recovery (2011)
Operational context
Nearshore recovery of a subsea communication cable connected to a WaveRoller unit, involving beach works and mechanical excavation support.
Divexpro supported the recovery and removal of a subsea communication cable connected to a WaveRoller unit in Peniche, Portugal.
The operation was carried out in a nearshore and beach environment, requiring coordination between marine and land-based activities. Mechanical excavation equipment was used to expose and retrieve sections of the cable on the shoreline.
The work involved careful handling of the cable, coordination with marine operations and adaptation to changing sea and tidal conditions.
This operation highlights Divexpro’s ability to execute practical engineering support tasks, combining field experience, equipment coordination and real-world problem solving in coastal environments.
