A cable protection assembly for a submerged structure, such as a foundation for an energy generator such as a fixed offshore wind turbine, has first and second tubes housing the cable. The tubes are formed from serially arranged tubular sections interconnected by joints. The first tube is more rigid than the second tube. The second tube is more flexible in one plane than in another. The joints between sections in each tube are typically articulated in the second tube, but not in the first tube. The articulated joints in the second tube typically permit the differential in the maximum possible deflection of the second tube in the first and second planes.

The outer surface (11) has at least two rows of repeating shapes (20), for example hexagons (20), provided on the surface (11), where each row of repeating shapes (20) is separated from the other or the adjacent row(s) by a groove arrangement (30). Each shape (20) within a row is separated from the, or each, adjacent shape (20) by at least one groove (30). This configuration of the surface (11) reduces Vortex Induced Vibration (VIV) and/or drag that may act upon the generally cylindrical element (10) when it is immersed in a body of water.

Variable length offshore cable and method of installation
The present invention provides an elongated, flexible conduit precut to an intended target length. Within the flexible conduit is arranged a cable. The elongated flexible conduit according to one aspect is a fiber-reinforced polymer conduit, and the conduit and cable are arranged to be hung-off and terminated at a first end to a first structure. The flexible conduit and internally-arranged cable are pre-cut and pre-terminated to a predetermined target length, whereby, under expected cable-laying conditions, a first or primary hang-off collar at a second end of the conduit will optimally reach the hang-off interface at a second installation such as, for example a hang-off interface arranged in a corresponding deck at a second Monopile foundation. The second end of the flexible conduit comprises a primary, or a main, hang-off interface collar arranged at an intended forecast length. However, to provide for a margin of error, the second end also comprises one or more preinstalled extension segments, each having its own hang-off collar.

A cable pull-in system and method for offshore structures (1) of the type having a hollow interior extending from the sea bed to above the surface of the water and an entry hole (2) in the external wall of the structure. The system includes an elongated outer conduit assembly (7) within the interior of which is arranged an elongated cable member (10), the elongated outer conduit assembly being equipped with an inflatable sealing section (4) adapted for engaging the interior of entry hole (2) to seal and affix the outer conduit assembly. The elongated outer conduit assembly is pulled through the entry hole and up to a hangoff point above the water surface such that the inflatable sealing section (4) engages entry hole (2).

A bend stiffener, and a method of producing the same, comprising an elongated cylinder of a polymer material, having a termination interface (4) on at least one end. An internal reinforcement matrix is provided comprising a first layer of a cylindrically arranged woven material (2). The material of the first layer is unwoven at the termination end, the unwoven fibers engage the termination member (3) and pass back over the first layer. The returning fibers of the second layer may be cut at a plurality of lengths to provide zones (10, 11, 12) of decreasing fiber density from the termination end.
