Fabrication, supply & installation of
continuity cable brackets

Irish Sea Contractors completed the fabrication, supply and installation of 550 x continuity cable brackets. The brackets were installed on turbines using a work class ROV. This was the first time this specific engineering task was completed without putting divers in the water on this client's offshore windfarms. Our team perfected the methodology in our subsea innovation facility using a mock tower with strong tides prevailing until the task was mastered. Because of this, our team completed the project faster than expected.

Shipping services

MV Pantanal, a 7,000-tonne heavy lift vessel, suffered severe bottom damage to its hull after dragging anchor and going ashore off the west coast of Ireland. Irish Sea Contractors first completed a detailed hull survey to GL standard, and then carried out urgent temporary repairs to enable the vessel to sail to Bremerhaven for drydocking. Our 10-man diver welding team carried out extensive plating repairs to seven holes and cuts in the hull. After 50 hours of underwater welding, the vessel was completely sealed and set sail.
