NOVACAVI Hybrid Umbilical with Hydrolysis-Resistant PUR Sheath for Marine Robotics
NOVACAVI, a specialist in custom underwater and marine cables, designed and manufactured a hybrid buoyant umbilical for an AI-guided demolition robot used in the rehabilitation of Dock 7 at the Port of Trieste .
Technical Highlights:
Hydrolysis-resistant matt polyurethane (PUR) sheath
UV-resistant
Combines lightness, buoyancy, and rugged durability
Delivers reliable power, control, and real-time data transmission
The robot, equipped with an arm, removes deteriorated concrete using high-pressure hydro-demolition while protecting the underlying steel structure. The cable's hydrolysis-resistant PUR sheath ensures long-term reliability in demanding marine infrastructure environments where continuous saltwater exposure and mechanical stress are present .
