Expertise to Investigate System Failures

Oil filled cable leakage

Cable oil pressure unexpected alarms

Oil filled accessory soldered plumb fatigue

SF6 cable termination leaks in GIS

Sheath voltage limiter failure

Partial discharge

Cable jacket puncture

Lead cable sheath cracking and / or rupture

High circulating currents in cable sheaths / bonding leads / terminations

Failure of accessory at connector or ferrule

Cable damage by third part contractor.

Subsea cable damage by vessel

Jointer errors and omissions and probability of future failures on similar designs

 

 

Alarm system failures

Moisture ingress into components

Cable component corrosion

Latent manufacturing defect

Fit for purpose cable system analysis

Cable de-rating due to adjacent services or depth of cover

Maximum surface ground loading permissible above cables and joints

Cable basement too small

Fire risk in buildings and tunnels

Environmental hazards from cable systems, EMF, heavy metals, biodegradability

Thermomechanical stress and fatigue of cable systems

Installation in ducts, pipes, manholes, tunnels, culverts, drillings, river beds, sea bed.
