Submarine
Cables

Since the formation of Falmouth Divers in 1978, the installation and maintenance of submarine telecommunication and power cables has been a core sector of our business.

We operate both as a specialist sub-contractor to the major installation contractors and as main contractors for smaller installation projects such as estuary and river crossings, replacement array cables, site investigations and remedial works projects.

Experience

We undertake projects on a worldwide basis including difficult and hostile environments, and are able to mobilise at relatively short notice for most projects anywhere in the world.

Falmouth Divers have a reputation as an experienced and professional contractor. Our personnel operate to the highest levels of health and safety, and our UKAS approved QHSE management systems are independently audited and certified to internationally recognised standards. We’re systematic in our approach to problem solving and can offer innovative cost-effective solutions to most projects.
