Paul Davison: Power Reimagined: The Future of Subsea Trenching is Electric

Join us at Excel London on March 10, 2026 at 13:30 PM (GMT) for an exciting talk by Paul Davison. This presentation outlines how SMD is applying electrification to subsea trenching equipment used to protect cables from seabed movement, fishing activity, anchors, and other hazards. It introduces a DC-based electrical architecture delivering up to 40% efficiency improvements over conventional systems. Electrified propulsion and water jetting reduce vessel demands while improving trenching performance. The session also highlights the SMD Q-Trencher EV, designed for submarine telecom cable installation and maintenance.
