De-Risking Cable Landing Operations – From Ground Model to Installation Analysis

Registration will close end of the day on September 12. 

Conducting cost-effective cable landing operations is one of the key drivers for any Offshore Wind Farm developments. Accurate modeling of the Landfall geomorphology morphology is critical to assess the potential risks associated with the coastal processes, seabed evolution, and long-term beach erosion which might affect the stability of the cable and inform the most technically and commercially viable landing method. This presentation wants to provide an overview of the landfall construction and cable landing methods and associated cable lay vessel operational considerations supporting the cable pull-in design. An installation case study will be also presented to highlight the risks and mitigations for the selection of the most cost-efficient cable landing construction and installation solutions.

Speakers

1. Daniele Caruso
Daniele is a certified project management professional (PMP) and submarine cable expert with 15 years of experience in the Marine and Offshore industries. Daniele has worked on several interconnector projects at the installation stage on board a variety of offshore construction vessels and is currently involved in several offshore floating wind projects as Cable Package Manager. Daniele is also part of the ABL Loss adjusting team supporting the organization in insurance claims projects with regards to submarine cable failures.



2. Gustav Daniels Galle
Gustav has worked as a Naval Architect / Project Engineer since 2018. He has worked on many projects supporting the installation of subsea cables for various offshore windfarms locations such as the UK, Asia Pacific, and Europe. During his time in the industry as a consultant, he has developed a deep knowledge and understanding of the critical parameter for a successful cable laying campaign. Gustav’s key experience includes a diverse range of offshore operations that stretches from diffraction studies and plough launches to motion assessments and full cable installation scopes.
