Hydraulic system for highly effective subsea pipeline trencher

The Arthopod 600 is a subsea pipeline trencher suitable for pre- and post-lay subsea trenching. For this project, Seatools developed an innovative subsea pipeline trenching technique that efficiently creates large trenches in hard soils.

In order to power the vehicle’s propulsion system, cutter head, cutter drum, and front thrusters, a 600-kW subsea (electro-)hydraulic system was incorporated. Many of Seatools’ hydraulic components were applied to this system.
