Challenge of Deep Sea Met by Walking, Digging Machines
Building a route for pipelines and service cables down a narrow undersea ravine and over a cliff into a plunging badlands of 60-meter peaks, valleys, boulders, ice water, high seas and strong currents is a challenge for equipment and technique.
Norsk Hydro invested three years and $100,000 surveying and planning the route and then called in undersea cable specialist Nexans Norway AS, Oslo, for new equipment to groom the way.
