2025-08-10

Answer: underground cable projects present unique challenges that require specialized equipment and techniques.

  • Challenges: Common issues include navigating complex terrains, dealing with soil and rock conditions, avoiding existing underground utilities, and performing maintenance in confined spaces.

  • Solutions:

    • Specialized Equipment: Use dedicated underground cable laying equipment like cable pullers, winches, and cable rollers to handle the heavy cables and minimize friction.

    • Conduit and Duct Systems: Properly installing conduits and ducts protects cables from physical damage and makes future maintenance or replacement easier.

    • Locating and Mapping: Accurate mapping of existing utilities is vital to prevent damage during excavation.

    • Effective Splicing and Termination: Use high-quality tools for cable splicing and termination to ensure reliable connections and prevent moisture ingress, a common cause of cable failure.

As a leading manufacturer of underground cable laying equipment, Ningbo Changshi provides the durable and efficient tools needed to overcome these challenges and ensure a successful project from start to finish.
