1.3 PROJECT COMPONENTS

1.3.1 SUBMARINE FIBER OPTIC CABLE (SFOC)

1.3.1.1 CABLE TYPES

The project will utilize three types of cable:

• Double armour (DA) cable for areas where water depths are shallower than 200m.

• Single armour (SA) cable has been used for intermediate water depths, 200m to around

1,000m.

• Lightweight (LW) cable where the seabed is deeper than around 1,000m.

Figure 1-14. Submarine Fiber Optic Cable Details

1.3.1.2 CABLE BURIAL

In order to mitigate the threats of anchoring and fishing to the cable system, cable burial is planned 200m water depths, where these activities are thought to occur, now or during the anticipated system design life. Burial also mitigates the effects of strong seawater currents, though complete protection is not always possible due to the effects of the currents on the seabed.

At cable crossings, the amount of cable to be surface laid with post-lay burial (PLB) either side of the existing cable, as recommended by ICPC, is 500m. Post-lay burial will be undertaken at a later stage to the target burial depth or up to the burial depth of the crossed cable if required. PLB is generally undertaken using Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV).

1.3.2 BEACH MANHOLE (BMH)

The Submarine Fiber Optic Cable shall be connected to the Manhole 0 (MH0). The MH0 provides a chamber of 1902 mm x 3402 mm situated above the high-tide level where the marine and land cables are connected.



Figure 1-15. Dimension of Manhole 0

1.3.2.1 MH0 TAPPING ADAPTOR

The SFOC shall be connected to the existing Manhole 0 (MH0) using a Manhole Adaptor presented in the figure below. This shall provide proper anchorage and easier installation of the cables.

Figure 1-16. MH0 Tapping Adaptor

1.3.3 HEAVY EQUIPMENT

Heavy equipment to be used during construction are HDD Rig, Cable Ship, Backhoe, and ROV.

1.5 DEVELOPMENT PLAN, DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT PHASES AND CORRESPONDING

TIMEFRAMES

1.5.1 CABLE LAYING METHODOLOGY (CONSTRUCTION PHASE)

1.5.1.1 SHORE END (FROM MANHOLE TO 15M WATER DEPTH)

In general, the submarine cable will be pulled into the manhole by cable floatation method. The shore end cable will be fixed inside manhole and buried on the beach. On beach side, the trench from manhole to low water mark will be excavated prior the shore end landing operations. On arrival at the shore end landing site, the cable lay vessel shall approach to a pre-determined set-up point & held positioned to the 15m water depth off Baclayon landing site from shore. The cable end at the cable lay vessel will be sealed and connected to the pulling line. Diving team with their support boat and necessary diving gears shall be ready to assist the shore end landing operations. Once the vessel is in the correct position the cable pulling line shall be passed ashore by the support boat. The cable lay vessel will pay out the cable while attach the floats on the cable with certain interval, the pulling team will pull slowly from the shore through Backhoe / JCB, etc. under the instruction of the Beach Master at a controlled speed and tension.

As soon as sufficient cable is hauled ashore and secured on the beach, the divers shall remove the floats progressively from the shore to the cable lay vessel thus controlling the sinking of the cable to the seabed. Then the cable will be placed into the trench and pulled up to the Manhole. The cable armoring will be open and fixed inside manhole by an anchor plate. Before the trench is backfilled, articulated pipes will be installed on the submarine cable for protection it from external aggression. Then the trench will be backfilled and the beach will be restored to its original condition.



From low water mark to 15m water depth, the submarine cable will be buried by diver using jetting tool. Diver will be deployed into the water with jetting burial machine with support from pump pontoon from the surface. The jetting machine will be oriented over the cable, the pump will be turned on and jetting start with great care on not to damage the cable during the operation.

Figure 1-22. Cable Floatation Method for Shore End Cable Laying

1.5.1.2 SHALLOW WATER INSTALLATION METHOD (FROM 15M TO 200M WATER DEPTH)

In general, the submarine cable will be buried by cable plough from 15m to 200m water depth, however if there is a rocky seabed or rough seabed which condition beyond the plough working limit detected during the survey, these areas will be designed as “surface lay”, for surface lay operation, please refer to above method statement water more than 200 meters deep. By burying the cable into the seabed, submarine cable will be fixed and protected from fishing and other external aggression activities.

Burial by Plough

The submarine cable is to be plough buried across the areas as defined in the Route Position list. The Plough burial is to be carried out from water depth range of 15 meters up to 200 meters. The maximum penetration into the seafloor is 1.5m. The depth of ploughing is controlled lowering (shallower burial) the skids relative to the plough chassis. The plough will be over boarded using an A‐Frame. The plough will be equipped with ultra‐short baseline (USBL) acoustic beacons, which allows the plough position to be calculated relative to the vessel position. Alternatively, the plough position can also be determined using “layback” calculations, based on tow tensions, water depth, and amount of tow wire paid out. Following the cable has been fixed inside manhole, the submarine cable will be loaded into the plough, then the plough will be launched from 15m water depth to the seabed. The plough will be towed by the cable lay vessel along the planned route with proper control of the tension on the cable as well as the tension on the tow wire. Plough recovery will be happened at the pre-determined location where the areas designed for surface lay operation or more than 200m water depth.

1.5.1.3 DEEP WATER INSTALLATION METHOD (BELOW 200M WATER DEPTH)

In the cable route where water depth is more than 200m, the submarine cable route is designed for “surface lay”. Cable will be paid out from the vessel stern chute, there will be no anchor, sinker or bolt as the cable will sink by itself. Submarine cable will not be “moved” since the bottom current is relatively low in deep water unless the drastic seabed movement for example earthquake. Meanwhile, the cable will be laid with certain residual tension which will prevent itself from moving partly.



The key factor for the surface lay operation is the “slack control”, The term “slack” defines a ratio of excess cable length to distance. If slack is “too much”, the cable will form loop on the seabed, if it is “too small”, cable suspensions occur more often on the seabed. So, the accurate control of the slack will make the submarine cable infill the seabed profile well as the desired condition.

The slack is designed based on the marine survey result, by taking into consideration the cable type, seabed profile, seabed sediment and installation method into consideration. Prior the cable laying, a lay plan will be created according to the designed slack, so the Lay Plan indicates values for the lay variables of slack and ship speed against position on route. The Lay Plan is the control document for the cable lay, and is based on the latest Route Position List. This Lay Plan allows the cable to be laid as close as possible to the RPL route. The cable lay will be undertaken by a dedicated cable lay vessel, which has a powerful Dynamic Positioning (DP) capability integrated with a modern navigation system. These facilities allow both precise positioning on the planned route and accurate administration of the slack as recommended from the cable management system. The vessel's stern working feature allows all installation activities to be carried out on the aft deck. This includes cable laying and plough operations.

The vessel will normally be in dynamic position (DP) mode throughout the lay. An integrated DP system interfaces accurate positional information with vessel's propulsion & thruster systems. The system can automatically follow a preset course at a required speed (Track Follow Mode) or, alternatively, an operator can manually follow a visual course reference displayed on a monitor. Cable payout will be by a Linear Cable Engine (LCE). Based on the Lay Plan, the LCE will normally be operated on speed control so that the required slack is provided by varying the LCE payout speed to maintain the requisite correlation to the ship's speed. For positive slack, the LCE speed will exceed ship's speed, for negative slack it will be less than ship's speed. As-laid RPL will be updated for achieved slack after completion of lay.

Figure 1-22 to Figure 1-25 illustrates the abovementioned activities.

Figure 1-25. Cable Lay (Waters below 200m depth)

1.5.2 OPERATION

Once in place and connected, the cable system requires no intervention. Cable repair and maintenance may be required as a result of damage.

1.5.3 DECOMMISSIONING/ABANDONMENT/REHABILITATION

A full decommissioning plan will be developed near the end of the Project’s expected 25-year lifetime. The plan will be based on best practices at the time and with consideration of environmental and safety issues.



1.6 MANPOWER

The manpower requirement for the construction and cable laying is estimated to be about 10 employees for the contractor, about 30 employees for the needed local labor and 40 cable ship crew. The personnel will be mostly composed of skilled laborers and operators of heavy equipment.

1.7 PROJECT COST
