Construction has started on a 201-metre vertical continuous vulcanisation (VCV) tower at LS GreenLink’s high-voltage direct current (HVDC) subsea cable factory in Chesapeake, Virginia. Overall factory construction began in April 2025 on a 396,700-square-metre brownfield site; the facility itself covers 70,000 square metres and represents a USD 681 million investment. The tower—set to become the world’s largest VCV facility and the tallest structure in Virginia—is part of what is expected to be the largest submarine cable production site in the United States, with factory completion targeted for the second half of 2027 and commercial production in the first quarter of 2028.
