HV cable installations
Two 33kV circuits and fibre over about 25 km between a DNO substation and a new client substation, fully ducted, with 45 joint bays. May 2018 to September 2019.
The project
Ground Utilities carried out the excavation, reinstatement and HV and fibre cable installation for two 33kV circuits between a DNO substation and a new client substation in Cambridgeshire. The route is about 25 km long and fully ducted. It runs through towns and villages, in the highway, footpath and verge.
Scope of works
- About 25 km of fully ducted trench in highway, footpath and verge
- About 205,000 metres of 33kV and fibre cable installed
- 45 joint bays built, each fully reinstated after jointing
- Crossings of bridges, culverts and watercourses, and of the existing services along the route
The work was completed within the agreed programme.
See our HV cable installation service, 240V to 132kV, for what a cable route involves, and the cable ducting guide.
