Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Cable Installation

As part of the installation of an offshore wind facility, a cable must be installed to bring the electricity to shore. A special cable laying ship is used. In this case, the method of installation is called jet plowing, where a high pressure stream of water is used to suspend sediments in a channel. The cable is laid into the trench of suspended sediment. The sediment settles in on top of the cable, thus burying it. The cable is brought to shore and connected to the grid.

You can learn more about the cable laying here: Observing Cable Laying and Particle Settlement During the Construction of the Block Island Wind Farm
