Similarly to pipelines, electrical lines cover entire countries extending offshore to link windmills to the shore. Like pipelines, they are prone to third party damage when buried underground. For that reason, depth of cover assessment is a critical part of integrity management for below ground power cables. 

Traditional tools used to determine the spatial positioning of underground power cables have limitations in both resolution and data collection. This can make it challenging to pinpoint the location of faults, complicating remediation efforts.Skipper NDT has proven the effectiveness of its technology in this area through successful deployments with Enedis in France and other operators.
