Sparrows Group under-roller

Sparrows Group, and its cable and pipe-lay solutions (CPLS) division, reinforced its international footprint in the United States after being awarded a contract by Oceaneering International, Inc. (Oceaneering) to design and manufacture two 500-tonne powered and jack-able under-rollers.

The new under-roller system, through its versatility and mobility, offers a wide range of benefits. Suitable for use with reels of up to 11.4m outer diameter, it provides up to 10 tonnes of line pull at the outer reel diameter which is particularly beneficial for steel-tubed umbilicals - a more rigid product that requires greater effort to spool around the reel.
