HydroTable is a patented cable carousel for subsea cables and umbilicals, using a pressurized water layer as a hydrostatic bearing for smooth, precise rotation with minimal friction. The design compensates for misalignments ten times better than traditional carousels and easily handles point loads from termination heads. It scales to any size and installs directly on concrete floors without extensive foundations due to its very low kg/m² footprint, reducing steel and concrete needs. With 90% fewer rotating parts, the system requires extremely low maintenance, offers high reliability with backup systems, and reduces operational risk. HydroTable meets capability conditions through reliable load control and robust performance in demanding environments.
