Depth of burial
A cable’s depth of burial (DoB) tells you how deeply it is embedded in the seabed. When it reaches zero, the cable is exposed and risks being damaged. See how Marlinks software helps you keep your cables in the ground.

Depth of burial dashboard
1: Depth graph: Visually inspect the burial depth of every meter of your cable. Toggle easily between depth of burial and absolute cable and seabed depth.
2: Cable map: Hover over the graph to see the exact location on the map. Similarly, hover on the map to see the burial depth of this point on the cable
3: Depth over time: Select a point on the graph or map and see how the burial depth of this point evolved over time, based on Marlinks depth of burial calculations and survey data
Depth of burial alerts
Quickly pull a list of all sections of cable that are at risk of getting unburied and view each stretch on the map. Alter the thresholds and granularity to get custom reports and download it at the click of a button.
Depth of burial evolution
Display the profile of various depth of burial calculations and survey data to see how your cable’s depth of burial evolved over time. Select multiple points on the cable and compare. As always, zoom in and pan to reveal more detail.
Calculation vs survey
Continuous depth of burial calculation has a clear advantage over periodic survey snapshots. If a storm dislodged your cable from the seabed, periodic surveys may take years to produce the evidence. With Marlinks’ continuous depth monitoring, you will have received an alert within mere minutes.
Plug and play
Marlinks cable monitoring integrates readily with your operational systems. This means all depth survey and calculation data are stored in a central location for you to evaluate. When something is amiss, we automatically and instantly notify your existing alarm systems so no time is lost in remedying the situation.
