Subsea pre-trenching tool

The open drum design allows for the integration of an inside-out jet flow, effectively flushing away cut soil from the drum cutter.

Robust and reliable drum cutting technology
Tiltable seabed rippers

Powered by hydraulic cylinders, this mechanism exerts immense forces on the boulder to break it out, generated internally by the tool without relying on external forces such as vessel pulling.
