Immersion/suspension method for the submarine deployment of high voltage transmission cable

摘要

A method, as well as applied apparatus facilitating the free-floating, controlled suspension deployment of all semi-flexible and non-buoyant high voltage submarine electrical power transmission conduit/cable; including shore to shore interconnection installations employing the said method and apparatus in at least some portion thereof. The said method provides for deployment at specific depths of submersion between the surface and the bottom of a body of water, via tangentially applied flotation support and tethering stabilization apparatus, so employed to provide relative free-flotation of the said conduit/cable at approximately specific gravity at the specified depth of deployment, while facilitating maximum heat dissipation requirements attendant their thermally active functional character.
