What are the necessary quality control checks during and after the cable laying process?

2025-08-14

Quality control checks are essential to ensure the integrity and safety of the final installation. These checks are performed at various stages:

  • Pre-installation: Before laying, the cable drum is inspected for any damage, and the cable's insulation is tested using a megger. The trench or duct is also inspected for any sharp objects or irregularities.

  • During Installation: The pulling tension is continuously monitored to ensure it stays within safe limits. Rollers and guides are checked to ensure they are in proper alignment.

  • Post-installation: After the cable is laid and before backfilling, a visual inspection is performed. A final insulation resistance test is conducted to verify the cable's integrity. Accurate records of the laying process, including pulling tension data, are documented for future reference.
