PIPE AND CABLE LAY

The complexity of pipe and cable lay machinery is not only stems from the individual machines but also from the coordinated way of operation to lower a cable or pipe safely from the ship. Controllab has developed control systems for tensioners, straighteners, carousels and more. The basis of our success is the digital twin, i.e a 3D simulation model, that we create for every access bridge. The digital twin enables us to develop and thoroughly test the software before the real pipe and cable lay machine has been built.
