Laying high-voltage cables with plow technology

APPLIED TECHNOLOGIES

The plough can be used in a variety of different soil conditions. This revolutionary technology overcomes water crossings up to 150 cm deep, slopes with a 70˚ gradient and mountain heights of 3,000 meters. Even nature reserves can be traversed without any problem using this environmentally friendly technology. Benefit from our decades of experience and the largest fleet of specialized equipment in Europe.

This construction method is primarily suitable when a cable or pipeline route is required directly next to an asphalt road (on the roadside) or also directly in the asphalt road. In the first stage, 2/3 of the laying depth is milled, and in the second stage, the cables or pipelines are laid to the specified depth using a cable plough. This procedure makes it possible to use the advantages of ploughing during the classical method of constructing pipeline trenches, for reasons of efficiency and quality.

The controlled horizontal directional drilling method is an environmentally friendly, low-cost and weather-independent alternative for laying supply, evacuation and empty pipe lines. Crossings and boreholes under rivers, nature reserves, traffic routes and buildings can be carried out without problems or only with minimal traffic restrictions. All surfaces, such as paving, asphalt, etc., remain undamaged when laid using directional drilling.

Innovative laying technology makes this process
more cost-effective and has minimal
environmental impact.

Short execution time:
around
2000 – 5000m/day

Simultaneous laying
of several pipelines
and/or cables

Reduced costs

Soil layers remain undisturbed, the soil remains fertile

Soil surface destruction is reduced

Pipeline laying below the water table is possible, water accumulation is not possible in the trench, it can also be installed through watercourses
