CABLE PROTECTION SYSTEMS
In 2020 Soltech were awarded a management services contract to provide multiple personnel to assist an O&M department in managing an, in service, array cable replacement. This resulted in field observation of multiple CPS failures. The replacement was successfully concluded.
Further contract awards were granted for, forensic investigations of CPS and cable failure, development of novel in-field survey techniques for quantifying the scale of the problems, management of CPS FEED studies, management support to multiple phases of cable and CPS deployment, and insurance claims support.
Soltech has been building on this experience to assess the cable foundation interface and to start the development of standards for assessment; together with novel techniques for managing the cable interface into monopole and jacket structures.
We welcome enquiries from all parties wishing to understand more about the challenges involved in designing for the longer term in the foundation / cable interface.
