Cable Jet Sledge
The Jet Sledge is a specialized underwater vehicle towed along the seabed.
In the submarine cable industry, PT Buana Inovasi Persada utilizes the Jet Sledge as a primary tool for "Post-Lay Burial" (PLB). This technology is essential for protecting cables from the two biggest threats in Indonesian waters. Here is a detailed breakdown Jet Sledge capabilities :
- Burial Depth : Capable of burying cables up to 3.0 meters below the seabed, far exceeding the standard safety requirements for most shipping lanes.
- Water Pressure : Equipped with high-capacity pumps.
- Operational Depth : Optimized for "Shore-End" and shallow water operations, typically up to 35 meters of water depth.
Non-Mechanical Burial
Cost-Effective Logistics
Anchor Protection
Linear Cable Engine
As a core piece of specialized machinery for the controlled handling of submarine fiber optic cables during installation and repair operations.
High Grip, Low Pressure
Variable Speed Control
Synchronization with Jet Sledge
The LCE is designed to provide precise tension control and synchronized movement of the cable as it moves between the storage tank and the sea.
Controlled Deployment : It ensures the cable is laid at a constant speed, preventing loops or excessive tension that could damage the delicate glass fibers.
Safe Retrieval : During repair missions, the LCE provides the necessary pulling power to safely recover armored cables from the seabed.
Bypassing Repeaters : Modern LCEs used by BIP are designed to allow the passage of large underwater components, such as repeaters or joint closures (like the IJC™), without stopping the operation.
Portable Assembly
Portable assembly tools and technical specifications used by PT. Buana Inovasi Persada for submarine cable operations.
