Designed and manufactured entirely at our Italian facility, NOVACAVI’s electro-mechanical winches and deck equipment cable solutions are engineered to perform reliably in the marine and underwater demanding environments. Our cables are typically steel-armoured for enhanced mechanical strength or alternatively reinforced with synthetic fibres to provide a lighter and more flexible solution without compromising durability. In […]
NOVACAVI custom cables are designed and manufactured to support the evolution of robotics and its applications. For PipeIn, an Italian company operating in the field of robotics for hydraulic infrastructures, NOVACAVI has designed and manufactured the tether suitable for their special rover equipped with underwater cameras and sensors. The cable, made of fibre optics reinforced […]
Underwater robotic vehicles require cutting-edge solutions to achieve new depths and distances. Fiber-optic tethers ensure reliable, real-time control and monitoring even in the most demanding environments. NOVACAVI meets these challenges with custom-engineered solutions, such as our neutrally buoyant 6,300 m fiber-optic tether with a breaking strength of 9.4 kN that has been recently tested and […]
We are proud to have been selected to design and manufacture a custom hybrid buoyant umbilical for use in the special marine infrastructure innovation project for the rehabilitation of Dock 7 at the Port of Trieste. An AI-guided robot with arms and real-time data transmission will efficiently remove deteriorated concrete using high-pressure hydro demolition, while […]
Our consolidated experience in the design and manufacture of cables for underwater applications is put to good use in the development of robotic systems for polishing boat propellers. These systems require dynamic power and control cables designed to ensure safe, orderly, and efficient management of underwater operations. Our cables are a strategic element within the […]
We have recently supplied a bespoke tether for the monitoring and protection of sensitive sites. Our extremely light and thin 2kN breaking strength cable is used by a special tethered balloon that incorporates advanced artificial intelligence and the latest environmental sensors to optimise safety and security at sensitive industrial sites and in the most demanding […]
NOVACAVI recently supported the successful deep mine shaft test of Image Soft’s UNWAS – a special underwater surveillance system – with one of its special fibre optic cables. With its hybrid water-blocked configuration, this underwater cable solution acted as a strategic component of the specialised system designed for and used to detect and warn of […]
When 50 years of cable design and manufacturing experience is coupled with a commitment to innovation, the result is a proven track record of more than 40,000 different bespoke cable solutions. By combining technical and manufacturing expertise built up over the years together with attention to the evolution of materials and production processes, we respond […]
NOVACAVI develops and produces a range of special power cables used in the production of hydroelectric power, the oldest and one of the main renewable source. All our cables can be designed and supplied according to the specific technical requirements of individual repowering and refurbishment of existing power plants and to integrate new applied technologies. […]
Designed and manufactured by NOVACAVI are the cables that Wsense, a deep-tech company specialising in monitoring and communication systems for the underwater environment, uses to connect and power its acoustic transducers that from the WGateway, out of the water, reach the water surface to send and receive real-time data wirelessly from the Underwater IoT network […]
NOVACAVI is proud to supply the Rebikoff-Niggeler Foundation (FRN), a non-profit organisation whose mission is to facilitate marine research and in-situ observation and documentation of deep-sea environments by means of submergible technology. During the development of their new remotely operated camera system, which will be used for documentary filming and research in the pelagic zone […]
A special hydrographic fibre cable with a polyurethane coating has recently been developed for the CTD instrumentation of the CNR-National Research Council oceanographic vessel Gaia Blu. In order to guarantee the level of operation required by the oceanographic campaigns in which the vessel is involved, a cable reinforced by its configuration with special synthetic fibres […]
Our 33XM376 synthetic armoured cable has been tailored and provided to be integrated into an innovative underwater hydraulic system for a heavy lift vessel. Designed and manufactured with a breaking strength of 10000Kg, this dynamic water-blocked umbilical acts as power and control supply from the main deck to a large salvage debris grab that has […]
NOVACAVI has recently provided technical and manufacturing support, which has materialised in special flat cable prototypes to be tested on Energy Vault‘s grid-scale energy storage systems. This innovative system lifts 24-tonne bricks hundreds of metres up into the air, then recovers this potential energy by lowering them when electricity is needed. Our special flat cables, […]
NOVACAVI has recently developed a customised tether for an innovative modular rover used to inspect confined spaces. This automated device, which is inserted inside pipes and equipped with sensors to allow a complete analysis of the pipeline’s health status, required a customised solution. NOVACAVI provided a special cable configuration with fibre-optic and a reinforcing element […]
