Offshore Cable Installation - Lillgrund - Vattenfall

The loading consisted of many elements. On shore the export cable was equipped with a
cable engine at each end of the cable, one at the storage space and one at the quay,
figure 8. The onshore cable engines were operated one at a time. Behind each cable
engine there was a slack on the cable that is constant at the right velocity. On the barge
there were two additional pulling devices before the cable coiled onto the turntable.
Figure 8. In a tent on the quay a second pulling device was placed. In the tent the cable was marked at exact
lengths.
Because of the necessary slack behind the cable engine the barge had to be moored
approximately 15 meters from the quay, figure 9.
