EIM Submersible Jet Pumps Play
an Important Role
in the Submarine Cable Laying Project
| A huge extra high voltage power
transport project across the sea has been carried out in western Japan
through 1997 to 1998. One of the key operation of this project is to lay down and to embed four lines of the world's biggest and longest submarine power cable of 500 KV D.C. for a distance of 50 km on the seabed of Kii Channel, south of the cities of Osaka and Kobe. The cables are to transmit electric power of 1,400 MW from the newly constructed coal combustion power plant, located in the east coast of Shikoku Island, to the high electricity demand areas of Osaka, Kobe, etc. EIM Submersible Jet Pumps, installed on a submarine trenching machine, have successfully completed their duties with their strong jet water flow to dig the seabed at 70 to 100 meter depths |
