The primary methods are categorized into overhead and underground applications, each with distinct advantages for the unique demands of a generating station.

1. Direct Laying: Cables are buried directly in a trench. This method is cost-effective and provides good thermal dissipation. However, it offers less mechanical protection and makes future maintenance difficult. Our OHTL stringing equipment and underground cable laying equipment are instrumental in managing the cable drums and pulling the cables smoothly and safely during this process.

2. Laying in Ducts/Pipes: This involves pulling cables through pre-installed pipes or conduits. It provides excellent mechanical protection and simplifies future cable replacement, making it ideal for crossing roads or other sensitive areas within a power plant. Tools like our Cable Pulling Winches and cable guiding devices are essential for navigating the cable through ducts without damage.

3. Laying on Racks/Trays: Cables are supported on cable trays, ladders, or racks, typically in tunnels or dedicated rooms. This is the most common method for managing a large volume of cables in a confined space. It allows for organized routing, excellent heat dissipation, and easy maintenance. Our cable rollers and drum jacks are crucial for the efficient and safe installation of cables onto these support systems.
