1. Arctic-Specific Engineering

Deploying infrastructure in the High North requires more than standard subsea protocols. FNF is engineered to thrive in the world’s most demanding maritime environment through a "Resilience-First" design.

• Optimized Route Selection: The path is meticulously engineered to avoid areas with year-round land-fast ice, prioritizing deep-water channels and ice-free corridors in the Northwest Passage.

• Advanced Armor Protection:

  • Strategic Burial: The cable is fully buried beneath the seabed in seasonal ice zones to protect against ice scouring.

  • Double-Armored Segments: Use of high-tensile, double-armored cabling in shallower "high-risk" areas where maritime activity or ice movement is more frequent.

• Synchronized Installation Windows: Marine operations are strictly aligned with the Arctic "open water" season, utilizing a fleet of ice-class cable-laying vessels to ensure precise deployment during the optimal Summer/Autumn window.
