Despite the high load and great challenges, 2023 has become a successful year due to the effort of many people adding their extra attention to find solutions. Many thanks to all of you involved. Now enjoy the Christmas holydays and a happy new year!
April 2023
A test rig has newly been designed and built with the possibility to combine oscillating axial compression and bending. Nexans and Combiteq have also written a paper, which covers this rig under the name “A Presentation of a Novel Test Rig for Simulating Combined Axial Compression and Bending of Subsea Power Cables and Umbilicals During Installation”. We are proud to announce that this paper has been accepted and will be presented at the 33rd International Ocean and Polar Engineering (ISOPE) Conference in Ottawa, Canada, June 19–23, 2023, co-hosted by the Canadian Association of Petroleum and Producers (CAPP).
December 2022
2022 has been a year full of changes and a massive load off activities. The outlook for the new year is positive and many of the great projects started in 2022 will continue to run through 2023.

NSL Finished laid
The world longest subsea electricity link between Blyth in Northumberland to the Norwegian village of Kvilldal is now laid and due to become operational on 1st October. National Grid’s North Sea Link NSL will be the longest subsea electricity cable in the world (720km), with a capacity of approx. 1400 MW.
June 2021
Nexans Norway AS and Combiteq AS designed and build a Novel Sensor Technology for Identifying Bending Stiffness on Subsea Power Cables’ and Umbilicals’ by use of Curvature Measurement. As one of the authors of a paper covering this sensor based on Fibre Bragg Grating technology, we are proud that the International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers, has chosen this paper to be presented at the ISOPE 2021 Rhodes, Online/Virtual Conference, June 20-25, 2021.

September 2020
An anniversary for all involved in the Nordlink power cable project. Statnett informs that the Nordlink cable between Norway and Germany is now complete. The testing is underway, and will continue until the beginning of 2021.On Wednesday, the first current went through the cable. Electricity was transferred with a capacity of 70 megawatts from Norway to Germany, and a corresponding capacity was returned.

April 2018,
We are proud to be part of the Nexans - (NSL), North Sea Link Cable Project. A 1400 mW interconnector between the UK and Norway, connecting the British and Nordic markets. The world's longest subsea interconnector is planned to be in operation in 2021.
May 2017
Since 2015, Combiteq and Nexans designed and build a bending stiffness rig for identification of subsea cables’ and umbilicals’ sensitivity to temperature under sinusoidal curvature oscillations.
As one of the authors of a paper covering this rig, we are proud that the International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers, has chosen this paper to be presented at the ISOPE-2017 conference, San Fransisco, June 25-30 2017.
