A few weeks, our guys were getting some well-earned rest after a seriously tough shift in South East London…

A physically demanding job, they’d been tasked with pulling 300 metres of cable between two location cases at Plumstead Station, swapping out a faulty power cable with brand-new 70mm 2-cored FGT cable.

Lee Fisher Assistant Project Manager at Amaro Signalling Ltd commentated on Linkedin, ‘this was 1 x 70mm 2 core FGT Aluminium (water blocked). We have installed a wide range of FGT from 10mm up to 95mm.’

Part of the largest third rail network in the world, the bright yellow ‘third rail shrouds’ you see here proved essential, protecting our team from the 750v of DC power coursing through the conductor rail directly behind them.

Yet another cable installed and ready for commissioning. Keep up the good work!
