The challenge
The design information did not clearly identify where each mains cable route ended, making the correct cable legs difficult to establish.
← All case studies
Live mains jointing
Station Road
Chester
Live mains extension works using side-by-side straight joints, supported by continuity testing when the cable routes were not clearly recorded.
Three live straight joints
300 mm² mains cable
Continuity testing used
The workfront
What the project required.
The response
The team carried out continuity testing to identify the routes before completing the live joints and activating the required cable legs.
Delivered scope
What TMRF completed.
- Cable-route identification
- Continuity testing
- Three 300 mm² live straight joints
- Mains extension and cable-leg activation
Outcome
The testing and jointing works resolved the route issue and allowed the following meter installation activities to continue.
