Cable pulling

[amptramp]

Hi cable rollers over ground ,pull out loops on the corners ,you and two others ,should be enough two to pull one to guide down ducts to avoid damage to the outer sheath . ps rollers cheap enough o hire from speedy hire , 15 rollers ,3 men , 4 hours imho .

i recon at a push 2 of you could do it with a set of cable jacks ,but watch out for temperature it could crack insulation if to cold

Is that you and the incredible hulk?

OK a straight run maybe but the added time by the lack of manpower?

You will need help,plus,warm up the drum indoors a day at least,get rollers,a sock,roller cradle,lube,proper draw rope,and,drinks and dinner order for the lads that help....Melinda never has trouble getting assistance...

once installed 800mtr 70mm pilcswa in a trench at Maryport coal disposal in 1981, 2 guys and a JCB and lots rollers took half a day but sanding and cable tiles took two days

well having a jcb is equivolent to having half a dozen blokes !!!
and how long would it have taken without ?

hardly bloody comparable to the scenario we have here is it lol.

And a guaranteed Stretched cable to boot!!

Cable's 1m short....not for long...fire up the JCB!

Can’t add a lot to E54’s comment, but I will.

I’ve pulled 3.3KV mining trailing cables in with a bulldozer. The cables are designed for rough handling due to the armourings being stranded and having a resilient bedding.

Pull a PILCSWA like that and any stretch will cause the papers to separate. Both the core insulation and the belting will be compromised.
As for normal SWA I’ve seen the armours birdcage bursting the serving once tension has been released.

I won’t say the name of the cable gang we used but they are based in Yorkshire. They pulled 200 miles of cable on one job alone. Not a single failure.
