Diver-less Solution to Scour

A quantity of SSCS weighted frond mats were delivered to the GMS Endeavour during June 2014 at the Great Yarmouth outer harbour prior to deployment at the Anglia A site in the North Sea, to protect the platform legs from scour where the water depth was approximately 20m-25m with a sandy seabed.

The SSCS operations manager provided product and installation training on-deck whilst moored up at the outer harbour to prepare the GMS crew for installation, which was carried out using a crane with no additional subsea intervention, eliminating the additional cost of divers or an ROV, resulting in a cost-saving of more than 70%.
