What are the key safety considerations during 132 kV cable laying projects?
2025-08-14Safety is paramount in any 132 kV cable project. The high voltage presents significant risks that must be managed with strict adherence to safety protocols. Our key considerations and recommendations include:
-
Pre-work planning: Always obtain necessary permits and conduct thorough site surveys to identify existing underground utilities.
-
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): All personnel must use appropriate PPE, including insulated gloves, boots, and helmets.
-
Controlled Excavation: Use hand-digging near existing cables and maintain a safe clearance distance from live services.
-
Equipment Safety: Ensure all cable pulling equipment is well-maintained and operated by trained professionals.
-
Emergency Response: Have a clear, established plan for emergency situations, including immediate reporting of any cable damage.
