We supplied nature-inclusive marine mattresses for subsea cable protection and stabilization at Vineyard Wind 1, an offshore wind project in the United States. These bio-enhancing concrete units supported compliance with federal environmental permitting measures aimed at mitigating impacts on benthic habitats in ecologically sensitive areas.
Vineyard Wind required a subsea cable protection and stabilization solution in ecologically sensitive seabed areas to comply with federal environmental permitting requirements while maintaining structural performance and constructability.
