Characteristics

Revolutionary method using water as carrying fluid to install power cables in PVC or HDPE ducts in reduced size trenches.

ADVANTAGES :

• reduced installation and civil engineering cost
• less disturbance to neighbourhood (mobile site)
• greatly reduced risk of damages to cable and duct during installation
• possibility to install longer cable sections safely over tortuous duct routes, hence reduction of the number of junctions

 

CHARACTERISTICS :

• allows the installation of significant lengths of cable (HTA : >2km ; HTB : > 3km). Whereas a winch, considering the pulling forces exerted, is limited to lengths inferior by about 50%
• faster than winching
• allows the installation of longer cable sections over tortuous duct routes (siphon, directional drilling) where a normal winch is unsuitable
