Installation of traffic monitoring cameras inside the A38 Saltash Tunnel in Cornwall.
Data cables for high speed transmission connecting cameras situated throughout the 410m tunnel, feeding live travel information and images and onto traffic update screens in motorway service stations throughout the UK.
The installation environment left little room for manoeuvre. Our technical team recommended a twisted pair configuration for the cable in order to minimise the overall diameter of the finished cable, then ensured that the precise tolerances for each component part of the cable were observed.
To prevent signal loss and electromagnetic interference the cables were to be both individually and collectively screened, giving optimum protection against crosstalk.
In order to be compliant, cables sited in enclosed public spaces such as tunnels have to be sheathed in a low smoke zero halogen compound to prevent the emission of toxic fumes and smoke in the event of a fire.
Once manufactured, these cables were promptly delivered to site and installed as part of a planned upgrade programme.

Construction of 4 large-scale solar farms with collective power output of 60mW
Complete package of cables for onsite power and connection to the National Grid
Within each of the solar farm sites a network of cables including direct burial power cables and photovoltaic cables were needed to connect the panel arrays. To distribute power around the site, as well as transmit the generated renewable energy back out to the National Grid, a series of power-network approved cables including medium voltage aluminium conductor cables were also required.
Our technical engineers tested and confirmed all cables were both compliant with relevant Standards and would endure the installation environment for an expected 25 year lifespan
These cables were then supplied from stock and delivered to each of the four locations on a just-in-time basis to mitigate onsite handling and storage. As an added precaution, the cable drums were supplied with branded protective wrapping to help identify any tampering onsite due to limited security.
