CABLE INSTALLATION


OVERCOMING POTENTIAL DIFFICULTIES


Over the years Albion Manufacturing has gathered a reputation for high quality and reliability to the extent where many major cabling manufacturers and installers now seek the expertise Albion have amassed in the design and operation of cable pulling socks to help overcome the many potential difficulties that may be faced during cable installation projects.


ADAPTING TO SPECIFIC PROJECTS


The company are constantly looking at new designs and innovative ways to adapt their products to suit specific projects or methods of cable installation. Recently they have supplied a large number of bespoke products to engineers working on a major offshore windfarm array and export cable project in the Baltic sea. These products include lace up and closed body Chinese fingers all with bound eyes (i.e. no ferrules) with many having plaited necks of up to 5 metre long.


These specialist items have provided a successful solution to their client who are using long J-tubes with limited internal clearance as part of their offshore cable installation project.


MANUFACTURE


Albion are also currently midway through manufacturing many hundreds of Chinese fingers from non-conductive materials for turbine tower cable installations running to the turbine nacelle for another major windfarm project.


FEATURE SPONSOR


The company is fortunate enough to have live enquiries or orders for most of the windfarms constructed, or under construction around Europe in the last few years, as well as their European activity in exporting to various projects worldwide.


GROWING CLIENT RISK


“We are proud to be able to name most of the major cable manufacturers and installers working on offshore projects on our growing client list.


CONTRACT AWARD


For Dong Energy’s Hornsea Project one windfarm


JDR, a leading supplier of subsea power cables and umbilicals to the global offshore energy industry, has been awarded a contract by DONG Energy to supply subsea power cables for the Hornsea Project One.


WORLD’S LARGEST OFFSHORE WINDFARM


“With the many windfarm projects both under construction and in planning we are hopeful that our future will remain bright. Being based near the Norfolk coastline in the UK we are ideally placed geographically. “Cable grips are niche products and knowledge of how variations of design and construction can affect performance is not widely understood hence why we are often approached by the cable manufacturers and installers to provide recommendations and guidance in determining the correct designs for their specific application.” Managing Director, Martin Nix concluded.
