DE REGT Marine Cables is a leader in the design and manufacture of custom-engineered, dynamic and static cable solutions for subsea applications. The company boasts over 90 years of technological innovation and expertise in cable design across many industry sectors, including Oil & Energy, Defence, Seismic Exploration and Scientific projects.
The company's engineering design departments include all disciplines essential to the specification and design of cable systems. DE REGT Marine Cables boast a strong and experienced team of engineers, capable of working on conceptual design and at project level, translating concepts into products.
The demand from all subsea industries is for cable technology to allow ever deeper and more flexible subsea access. However, pushing the boundaries of cable performance and capability brings many inherent challenges.
Umbilical cables may be several thousand metres long, requiring significant deck space to accommodate the reel. Appropriately rated winching equipment is also essential to manage the huge combination of cable and load. Reducing cable size does lower the weight, reel size and winch equipment requirements but it cannot be to the detriment of the cable's capacity to serve as an ROV lift cable and withstand the dynamic loads of routine operations.
The latest DE REGT product delivered to Seaway Offshore is a 100ton armoured umbilical designed and manufactured bespoke for their salvaging purposes. It delivers power and data to a water depth in excess of 5.5km. DE REGT's umbilical is 25% stronger than the client's current product, providing more than 20ton of additional strength within the same diameter / dimensions.
While this latest underwater salvage project is helping unlock real treasures from the deep, it is just one in a series of remarkable projects to embrace DE REGT technology, including several multi-purpose mooring buoy projects for scientific companies such as MBARI and Harris CapRock and numerous specialised cable systems for the Oil and Energy sectors.
With significant investment in enhanced design, manufacturing, research and testing facilities,
DE REGT demonstrate their commitment to continue responding to future industry challenges and technological demands, pushing the limits of depth, temperature and harsh environment capability.
Even now, DE REGT are testing alternative types of copper which will improve durability, novel steel armour wires to cope with hazardous fluids and innovative insulation materials to withstand high temperatures.
DE REGT are "technology partners" and fundamental to this ethos is their commitment to share lessons learned and exploit new technologies and products across all subsea sectors to the benefit of all DE REGT clients and technology partners.
