Project description:
- To meet the energy demands of a million-plus city, Nexans laid the largest
and heaviest 420 kV cable that has ever been installed.
Customer challenges:
- Because several laying methods had to be used (ducts, direct buried, and concrete troughs), the customer wanted extensive long-term tests.
- They expected full responsibility for civil work, supply and installation of all cables and accessories with full quality assurance.
- Trenches were not allowed across certain roads; and dust and heat were a hindrance.
Nexans solutions:
- Nexans assumed full responsibility for the project and set up a local dedicated team to interface with the customer and subcontractors.
- Directional drilling was used to install 400m long flexible pipes, often 30 meters deep.
- Original sand and soil was used as thermal backfill.
- Air-conditioned booths were built for jointing.
- Constant control included waste management and respect for the environment.
