MakaiLay Video
"See Below" using the finest At-Sea Cable Lay System

This 18-second movie shows a cableship making a turn and then changing from LightWeight Protected cable (orange) to Single Armor cable (green) during one hour. The resulting cable lay is a dynamic event that MakaiLay's robust cable model can handle, but less-comprehensive programs cannot. Each cable shape shows a "snapshot" taken every five minutes. 

For the first time, cable engineers can "see below" to visualize how any dynamic event affects placement of their cable onto the seabed. Such knowledge improves their ability to lay cables that should be reliable for many years. 

This movie was made using the MakaiLay 3-D viewer. MakaiLay also provides a host of accurate numerical data showing the actual placement conditions of the cable. This data can be used immediately by the cable engineer, and is logged to provide as-laid records for the cable owner.
