OCS post trenching system can be operated in deep or shallow water. OCS owned and fabricated Jet sled is one of the OCS newest assets added to OCS post trenching equipment spread. The jet sled is designed, fabricated and tested completely at OCS facility and under the close supervision of OCS engineering team.

OCS already owns and operates pipe riding jet sleds but this sled have the disadvantage of requiring support while they are pulled along the pipeline to prevent them from turning over. A new proposed Articulated Jet Sled (AJS) does not ride on the pipeline but it is supported on either side of the buoyancy tank skids while a rotating arms fitted that is equipped with jets and an educting facility to remove jetted spoil.

The Articulated Jet Sled is associated with the services as per below

• PIPELINE PRE-TRENCHING SERVICES
• PIPELINE POST TRENCHING
• UTILITY BARGE, MULTICAT SUPPORT

Specification of the OCS employed Articulated Jet Sled are as follows:
