HydroTable
Unique value proposition (UVP)
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.
Key Benefits
- HydroTable's patented hydrostatic bearing system provides ultra-smooth and precise rotation, drastically reducing friction and operational risk for subsea cable handling.
- By offering ten times better misalignment compensation than traditional carousels, HydroTable significantly reduces the risk of cable damage, ensuring enhanced safety and reliability.
- With 90% fewer rotating parts and a low kg/m² footprint, HydroTable minimizes maintenance and installation costs, making it an economical choice for large-scale subsea operations.
