What are the key stages of a typical electrical cable laying project?

2025-08-14

A successful cable laying project follows a systematic process. The key stages include:

  • Planning & Design: Thorough route inspection, engineering calculations for pulling tension and sidewall pressure, and obtaining all necessary permits.

  • Site Preparation: Excavation of trenches or installation of cable trays and conduits.

  • cable installation: The actual laying and pulling of cables using specialized equipment such as winches, rollers, and drum jacks to ensure the cable is not overstressed.

  • Termination & Jointing: Making secure connections at switchgear, panels, and other equipment.

  • Testing & Commissioning: Post-installation tests like insulation resistance (IR) and high-potential (Hi-Pot) testing to verify the cable's integrity before it is energized.
