What are the most common safety practices for large cable pulling projects?

2025-08-15

Safety is our top priority. The most common practices used to ensure a safe installation are:

  • Real-time Tension Monitoring: All of our pullers and OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioners are equipped with a tension gauge that provides real-time feedback. This allows the operator to make instant adjustments and prevents the conductor's maximum tension rating from being exceeded.

  • Maintaining Safe Distance: All non-essential personnel must be kept out of the tensioning zone and away from the pulling rope and conductor.

  • Proper Grounding and Bonding: All equipment and conductors must be properly grounded to protect against electrical hazards.

  • Controlled "Dead-ending": The process of securing the conductor to the end towers must be done slowly and carefully to prevent a sudden release of tension, which can cause a whiplash effect on the line.
