Do you carry out the civil works as well?

Yes — our teams handle the complete scope from trench excavation through to road reinstatement and as-built records.

Can you install cables under roads or rivers without trenching?

Yes — we have horizontal directional drilling capability for under-road and under-obstacle crossings without surface disruption.

What testing do you carry out on HV cables after installation?

We carry out DC or VLF withstand tests, insulation resistance measurement and, where required, partial discharge testing to IEC 60229 standards.

LV and Fiber Optic / Control/ Telecommunication Cable Laying

Professional LV, Fibre Optic, Control and Telecommunications Cables Laying Services.

Cable installation is a precision activity where poor pulling, termination or jointing can lead to costly faults and network failures. RS provides professional LV, fibre optic, control and telecommunications cable installation services, using trained cable crews, appropriate pulling and termination equipment, and rigorous quality checks to ensure correct routing, installation, termination, testing and reliable long-term performance across power plants, substations, solar farms, industrial facilities, commercial buildings, telecom networks and civil infrastructure projects.

Key Benefits

Complete Project Handover — Cable schedules, test records, termination details and as-built documentation provided for operation and future maintenance.

Professional Cable Handling — Trained crews use appropriate pulling, routing and termination methods to minimise cable damage and installation defects.

Multi-Cable Capability — Installation of LV power, fibre optic, control and telecommunications cables across complex infrastructure projects.

Correct Routing & Separation — Proper cable routing, containment and power/control/communications segregation to support safety, reliability and maintainability.

Quality-Controlled Termination — Accurate glanding, lugging, jointing, splicing and termination in accordance with equipment and project requirements.

Testing & Verification — Cable testing and inspection, including continuity, insulation resistance, fibre OTDR and loss testing where applicable.

Our Process

Cable Route Survey

Route selection, underground service identification and trench depth assessment.

Duct & Trench Works

Trench excavation, duct laying, sand bedding and reinstatement to utility standards.

Cable Drum and FO Testing

Insulation Resistance testing of Copper / Aluminium cable drums before installation. FO splicing, OTDR Testing.

Cable Pulling

Controlled cable pulling using appropriate equipment with pulling tension monitoring.

Jointing & Termination
