5 year contract

US headquartered X-Subsea has secured a significant excavation contract to assist a civil engineering company with the construction of a dam across the Ohio River in the US.

The innovative project, across the busiest inland stretch of waterway in the US, involves placing piers onto a concrete template placed into the river. X-Subsea will be responsible for clearing sediment from the templates to ensure that they are in sufficient condition to successfully mount new piers to form the north side of the dam and will utilize its patented T8000 excavation tool, which is specifically designed for controlled, non-contact and safe seabed excavating in water depths up to 300m.

X-Subsea, which is headquartered in Houston, also has operations in UK, Norway, Singapore, Mexico, Dubai, and China.
