The Gator is capable of simultaneous lay and burial, or post lay burial in up to 2m of soft sand and 0.8m of harder sea beds. The
device includes a suite of tools and uses a universal, rapid change tool mounted system including:

> Mechanical chain cutter for compact sand and stiff clay
> Rock wheel for rock and coral
> 1000 meter umbilical length
> Operational radius of 500 meters
> Can also be used both near and on shore

The Otter Tracked remote controlled shallow water cable burial vehicle

THE OTTER is a tracked shallow water remotely operated vehicle designed to operate from a range of vessels. Capable of
simultaneous lay and burial, or post lay burial of cables, fibre optic cables, and pipelines to a depth of 2m using a hydrodynamic
fluidization method.

The Otter Trenching system offers short time mobilization / demobilization, minimal risk for damaging the cable, and easily carried
out adjustments to meet different technical requirements. It can be used in a variety of seabed conditions & uses diver assistance
for positioning. It can lay pipelines/cables from 100 to 300mm diameter.
