WHY
Habitats such as seagrass fields are key to our ecology. It is therefore critical we ensure their protection by finding mooring solutions to avoid damaging these habitats in any way possible.
​
ABCS was established to help clients find these solutions in a sustainable and cost-effective manner to help reduce the impact on the seabed and associated habitats.
​
Traditional mooring solutions scour the seabed where equipment like riser chains are dragged around the floor when not under tension. This ‘dragging’ causes damage to the habitat in the localised area and in turn destroying or severely impacting the species that live within it.
ABC Subsea has experience and knowledge in:
01
Project Management for a wide range of Coastal and Harbour projects
02
Development and execution of surface and sub surface operations in accordance with all relevant safety standards
03
Sustainable and cost-efficient in-house and external supply chains for equipment that can reduce habitat degradation whilst remaining fit for purpose

ABCS experience and knowledge means we understand how critical good quality equipment needs to be so it can perform to spec and allow a sustainable life cycle.
​
All equipment used by ABCS is tailored specifically for the project and not generic. By using the FEED method, equipment fits the project rather than making the project fit off the shelf equipment.
​
Coupled with in-house manufacturing and carefully selected Approved Suppliers, ABCS and therefore their Client can have full confidence that the mooring solution will operate as designed for life span and function.
