NOVACAVI, specialist in custom underwater and marine cables, has been chosen to design and manufacture a hybrid buoyant umbilical that will drive an AI-guided demolition robot during the rehabilitation of Dock 7 at the Port of Trieste.

The arm-equipped robot will remove deteriorated concrete using high-pressure hydro-demolition while protecting the underlying steel structure. Reliable power, control and real-time data transmission will be delivered through NOVACAVI’s hybrid buoyant cable. Wrapped in a hydrolysis- and UV-resistant matt polyurethane (PUR) sheath, the cable combines lightness, buoyancy and rugged durability—ideal for demanding marine infrastructure projects.

“We are thrilled to support the Port of Trieste’s forward-looking initiative,” said Francesca Faverio, Business Development Manager of NOVACAVI. “Our 21GAX207 umbilical ensures the robot can operate with maximum precision and minimum downtime, accelerating restoration while safeguarding the environment.”
