What are the primary methods for laying electrical cables?

2025-08-14

Answer: The primary methods for laying electrical cables are categorized into two main types: overhead installation and underground installation.

  • Overhead Installation: This method involves installing cables on utility poles or towers. It is a cost-effective and straightforward method, especially for long-distance transmission. We use specialized tension stringing equipment to precisely and safely install conductors, ensuring proper sag and tension.

  • underground Installation: This method involves burying cables underground. It offers enhanced protection from environmental factors and aesthetic benefits. The most common techniques include:

    • Direct Laying: Cables are laid directly in a trench with a protective layer of sand and bricks. This is a cost-effective method suitable for areas with low population density.

    • Draw-In System: Cables are pulled through pre-installed ducts or conduits, allowing for easier maintenance, repair, and future expansion without the need for re-excavation.
