  • Underwater cable deployment system and method
    Patent number: 6588980
    Abstract: An underwater cable deployment system includes a series of cables, pre-wound on a set of reels, disposed upon a pallet and connected to a distribution hub on the pallet. The pallet is lowered to the ocean floor and a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) is also lowered to the ocean floor to deploy cables to form a predetermined array on the ocean floor. Preferably, the pallet is delivered to the ocean floor in advance by crane with the reel-mounted sensor array cables being deployed later by ROV. Optionally, the ROV may include a jetting package configured to bury the sensor cable as it is being deployed from the reel on the ROV.
