Industries & Operations

Verisub serve a variety of markets in the offshore industry many of which cross over in the types of operations involved in planning and development, however each have specific activities with specialised services, roles, and disciplines that we specialise in.

Submarine Telecoms

Subsea Fibre Optic Cables

Since the development of fibre optic cables in the 1980’s and the advent of the modern internet in the 1990’s the submarine telecommunications market has grown exponentially as demand for higher transmission speeds and capacity increases and more countries around the world become reliant on connectivity. Reliability is key to the operation of submarine cables which traverse all the world’s oceans in the most diverse and hazardous environments and are prone to a wide variety of threats.

How we Support

Verisub specialises in supporting all aspects of submarine fibre optic cable projects, ranging from the feasibility or desk study stage through to geophysical and geotechnical surveys, cable route engineering design and subsequent system installation, inspection, and maintenance operations.

Renewable Energy

Offshore Windfarms, Tide and Wave Energy

As countries start to accelerate their plans to reach Net Zero or low carbon energy transition the renewables industry has become one of the fastest growing offshore sectors in the UK and Europe, expanding to the USA and Far East and soon many other countries in the world. Offshore windfarms are becoming larger each year, with taller turbines, sited further offshore in deeper water and either constructed on the seabed or on floating platforms. Tidal and wave energy generators are increasingly sited in some of the most challenging environments to work in.

How We Support

Verisub are experienced in supporting all aspects of offshore renewable energy project development, ranging from geophysical and geotechnical surveys, cable route engineering design and installation, inspection and maintenance operations. With our in-house expertise and teams of specialists we have managed renewable energy marine survey projects and provided teams of consultants to supervise.

Power utilities

Subsea Cables Power Transmission and Interconnectors

With the ever-increasing need to transport power from offshore renewable energy sites such as wind farms, tidal or wave generators to shore as well as transferring electricity between countries, well-designed and secure subsea power cables, and interconnectors are becoming critical to many countries’ infrastructure.

How We Support

Verisub has many years of experience in subsea export cables and interconnectors in the UK and Europe, involving geophysical surveys, UXO surveys, shallow geotechnical investigations and sampling, route engineering through to cable installation and post lay burial and inspection works.
