7 / Conclusion

Following our experience, we can take in charge all the operations for the installation of the land part of submarine cable projects Or Backhaul cable :

  • Survey & Engineering for the coonstruction of duct route -landing station & network telecom link.

  • Study of the system earth (Ocean Ground Bed – OGB) : Resistivity measurement – soil study.

  • Supply Qualified jointing boxes for submarine or terrestril optical cable – earth or power cable Supply Electrodes & Installation.

  • Management of local contractor.

  • Installation and Jointing FO cables & copper cables Boxes.

  • Acceptance tests : All tests and controls to be performed on optical and copper land cables used at the land part of a submarine link or backhaul cable.

  • Shore-end works – Landing operations & Laying of sub-river cable, including supply & installation articulated pipes – burial by jeting up to 20 m water depth – video reporting.

  • Training Course.

  • Maintenance of existing link.
