Case Study – Custom Dive Umbilicals

The Challenge

Cancord was contacted by a commercial diving operation doing some recovery work. They were having difficulties with their equipment cables tangling, and getting damaged while in use. In addition to the cost associated with the damage, there were continuing delays to the work jeopardizing promised deadlines.

The Criteria

Combine & contain up to 8 different cables and air hoses into 1 rope
Protection for the delicate cables
Superior abrasion resistance
Elongation properties such that none of the cables or hoses break while the assembly is in use
Minimize overall weight to facilitate handling
Fast turnaround

The Solution

Cancord used several layers of braiding with an assortment of high tech filler yarns to create a series of Dive Umbilicals which allowed the cables and air hoses to stay secure as the divers descended and performed the recovery work. Cancord was able to develop the ideal dive rope umbilical combination for each set of cables and air hoses in a timely manner. The completed rope umbilicals were delivered to the customer quickly allowing the customer to meet their overall deadline without further damage to their equipment.
