Abstract:
The present invention provides an elongated, flexible conduit precut to an intended target length. Within the flexible conduit is arranged a cable. The elongated flexible conduit according to one aspect is a fiber-reinforced polymer conduit, and the conduit and cable are arranged to be hung-off and terminated at a first end to a first structure. The flexible conduit and internally-arranged cable are pre-cut and pre-terminated to a predetermined target length, whereby, under expected cable-laying conditions, a first or primary hang-off collar at a second end of the conduit will optimally reach the hang-off interface at a second installation such as, for example a hang-off interface arranged in a corresponding deck at a second Monopile foundation. The second end of the flexible conduit comprises a primary, or a main, hang-off interface collar arranged at an intended forecast length. However, to provide for a margin of error, the second end also comprises one or more preinstalled extension segments, each having its own hang-off collar.
