Special features of the project
The units were placed using a hydraulic shovel which generates a high level of efficiency and fast placement.
An appropriate selection of equipment, (hydraulic shovel, rotating hydraulic hook, ECHOSCOPE™), the support by a specialized/qualified divers’ team and focusing on CLI’s recommendations were beneficial to achieve the high performances and natural placement principles of the ACCROPODE™ II technology.
