Swire Seabed operates a distinctive Seabed Excavator, designed to support many operations, including trenching and dredging, at water depths down to 2,500m.
Swire Seabed’s "Seabed Excavator," deployed from a dedicated active heave compensated (AHC) launch and recovery system (LARS), provides the safest and most powerful Subsea Excavator system of its kind. This compact system requires deck area of 150 m2 with no additional space required for landing of the subsea excavator. The subsea excavator can operate in up to 4 metres wave height and at a water depth down to 2,500m.
The subsea excavator’s off-terrain tracks increase versatility by allowing it to perform work scopes on uneven surfaces. The high safety and technological standards of the subsea excavator system and professional track record of Swire Seabed ensure delivery of a solution to meet the demanding requirements of today’s subsea dredging sector.
The Excavator allows efficient suction of clay, sand, drill cuttings and dump gravel. The high efficiency of the ejector and unrestricted flow gives possibilities to transport sediment over longer distances.
