Inland Lakes and Waterway Installations
Our expertise extends beyond coastal waters to inland lakes and waterways. We provide tailored solutions for cable installations in rivers, lakes, and reservoirs, ensuring safe deployment in diverse environments. All of Canpac's equipment is modular, allowing for flexible and efficient mobilization.
In 2016, Canpac Marine built custom DP2 self-propelled barges in a remote lake for the successful installation of 138kV submarine power cables, achieving a maximum depth of 300 meters. This project demonstrated our ability to design, build, and operate specialized equipment in remote and challenging locations.
In addition, we utilize modular barges directly in waterways that are not accessible by larger installation vessels, enabling us to perform complex installations in otherwise unreachable locations. We also deploy truckable tugs in combination with modular barges. These tugs can be transported and assembled on-site, ensuring access to even the most isolated project locations. This innovative approach ensures that even the most remote or restricted areas can be serviced effectively.
Our modular approach enables rapid mobilization across North America for emergency cable repairs and replacements. We specialize in deploying custom cable lay spreads within just a few weeks to handle challenging installations, including those across high-current rivers. This capability ensures minimal downtime and fast restoration of critical infrastructure.
By combining advanced modular equipment, experienced crews, and proven methodologies, Canpac Marine delivers efficient, safe, and reliable inland lake and waterway cable installation services.
