Company Profile

Pharos Offshore delivers engineering solutions for subsea cable installation, maintenance and repair.

As an integrated provider of a range of services; including engineering solutions for subsea cable installation, maintenance and repair, Pharos Offshore has 3 key business areas; Expertise, Equipment and Engineering.

Our team of professional engineers have designed, built and managed many of the industries iconic ROVs and trenching systems over the past two decades. We provide a unique set of skills with hands on experience enabling us to offer world-class engineering solutions to our client base.

Pharos Offshore utilise rapid prototyping and engineering simulations to reduce development time and design cycles.

We also routinely use proven Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) components and open architecture systems for conceptual and final designs. Utilising these reduces manufacturing and operational risks and offers our clients reduced maintenance and operation expenses.

Route Clearance

Pre-Lay Grapnel Run (PLGR) operations are a highly effective and a cost-efficient way of minimising the risk to your subsea product or trenching system coming in to contact with hazards that could potentially damage your asset.

PLGR operations are used extensively within the offshore market to successfully affect the route clearance of the seabed or a pre-lay trench prior to a products installation. The purpose of the operation is to clear the seabed or pre-lay trench of any hazards which may pose a threat to products integrity, prior to the product being laid. PLGR Operations include dragging a grapnel along the entire length of a cable route as an attempt to clear the sea bed of debris, i.e. wires or hawsers, fishing equipment and Out of Service cables, etc., which may have been deposited along the route. Any debris recovered during these operations are discharged ashore upon completion of the operations.

Pharos Offshore’s PLGR equipment and operators have an extensive track record. Our engineering team can advise you on the best action to ensure your product’s integrity remains intact.

Pharos Offshore’s range of subsea boulder grabs can be used to collect and relocate boulders and debris from the seabed.

The boulder grabs and cable grabs can be mounted with LED lights and a camera/video feed for real-time monitoring of the operations to allow for a more time-efficient operation.

Subsea Boulder & Debris Removal

Pharos Offshore’s range of subsea cable grabs are utilised to recover sections of cable from the seabed.

The Rock and Cable grabs are an “over the side” solution in most scenarios and are deployed by the vessels crane or can be configured on to a Work Class Remotely Operated Vehicle (WROV); either client or Pharos Offshore supplied.

Subsea Excavation

5 | Subsea Excavation

Pharos Offshore Group delivers innovative subsea controlled flow excavation solutions to the offshore Oil, Gas, Renewable and Telecommunications markets.

The CFE500 has been developed to meet the needs of clients engaged within the installation, IRM and decommissioning sectors of the offshore market. Pharos Offshore Groups experience, gained through the completion of over 100,000km of subsea burial, has been demonstrated throughout the CFE500’s design and commissioning.

The excavator is easily adaptable and can excavate a comprehensive range of seabed materials accurately up to 200kPa with a jetting bolt-on.

The CFE500 system is based around a single stage cast impellor which is coupled to a compact direct drive high torque fixed displacement motor. The base assembly of the system has a minimum self-weight of 7,000kg determined to counter the 3,700kg of reactionary force produced by the unit at maximum rotational speed of 400rpm; deriving a variable water velocity of 0-9mps through the exit water column.

The adaptation of the Kort nozzle to meet specific project requirements, be that rock, sedimentary displacement or seabed penetration to achieve higher gradient profile trenches in seabeds up to 50kPa to achieve product burial.

Optional surface fed HP jets are available to compliment the high flow displacement capacity by providing four 40Bar cutting lances to displace materials of up to 200kPa. A configurable tilt frame housing allows the base unit to be tilted to 45° from vertical, extending the viable range of the exit flow toward specific targets; improving asset recovery capability, increasing material displacement when exposing covered assets and allowing parallel trench back-fill.

The tilt frame housing provides the additional benefit of optional ballast to assist stability in high currents, with integral traverse function displacing a further 1,000kg to counter reactional forces from the exit flow. The tilt frame instrumentation provides feedback on heading/ pitch/ roll of the unit, whilst accommodation is also included for camera and light system to assist initial target location. Pharos Offshore’s excavation team has an extensive track record for performing in challenging conditions and has undertaken a broad variety of excavation operations; ranging from a Jack-Up Rig Spud Can deburial project in the Central North Sea, a Power Cable lowering to 4m depth in the German North Sea, to a fibre optic cable lowering scope within the Southern North Sea.

Subsea Trenching Vehicle

Creating trench depths of up to 2m, the UTV400 is a capable and versatile tracked trenching vehicle that has a proven track record in the offshore cable trenching market.

The system is capable of performing works from the shore end (5m WD) right through to 2,500m water depth.

The UTV400 jetting tool package can be changed out at sea depending on project requirements and can work to a minimum jetting speed of 100m/h even in firm seabeds. Integrated surface feed option for operation from 0 - 20m water depth.

The system is supplied with an extensive strategic spares package, with options for cable tracking system and zero visibility surveillance sensors.

Key features include:• 5m - 2,500m water depth - standard operating• Ability to have Jets surface fed for shallow water operations, below 5m WD• Up to 300m/h jetting speeds• Ability to work with products of up to 520mm OD• Ability to work to the full length of the umbilical from the host vessel provided the umbilical is floated and provided a

support boat is available• System may be adapted to suit a designated launch system• 2m burial capabilities• Numerous survey capabilities and options• Can come with in-house intervention tooling – cable cutting and recovery tooling

The UTV400 system is ideally suited to perform Post Lay Inspection & Burial, Cable Maintenance Operations and has an extensive track record in the offshore market.

Consultancy, Design & Build

Pharos Offshore refurbished and commissioned a 1200HP Remotely Operated Trenching Vehicle in 2015 and delivered it to a global subsea construction company.

Under the contract Pharos Offshore were asked to provide a maintenance and operations package that would extend over 3 years. The trenching vehicle will work globally on four major offshore projects in 2017 and its current success highlights Pharos Offshore commitment to providing effective trenching solutions.
