Jointer Training

During our monthly Distributor Review Meeting this morning with Kate Palmer-Randle we discussed further developing the Qualified Electrical Construction Contractor Accreditation (QECC) from 3M Electrical in the UK.

The Qualified Electrical Construction Contractor Programme (QECC) has been set up as a partnership designed to provide Jointer Training and valuable benefits to appointed 3M Electrical Contractor Partners.

As part of the QECC programme, contractors receive in-depth 3M Cold Shrink product and technology training, including theoretical training on 11kV, 22kV, 33kV, 52kV & 66kV Cable Accessories, including Joints & Terminations.

Once Certified the QECC contractor can apply for a 3M 20-year MV Product Warranty on completed projects which can be passed on to their client to offer them peace of mind on their investments and evidence Competency.

To date four companies have been geographically appointed, with a select number of new members set to qualify over the coming months.

Choosing a 3M QECC certificated company allows you to have peace of mind that the contractors you’re working with are trained to the highest level and backed by an extended 3M 20-year product warranty.

Most UK utilities have banned the use of expanding foam as a measure to effectively seal cable ducts against water ingress, gas migration or fire spread. Failure to correctly and safely seal cable ducts can inflict catastrophic damage to LV MV HV Electrical Distribution Networks, Substations and Power Supply.

Failure to correctly and effectively seal cable ducts can inflict catastrophic damage to LV-HV electrical distribution networks, substations and power supply. View below our complete ranges of Duct Sealing Products including cable transits to provide a watertight seal and defence against flood damage to low, medium and high voltage cable ducts with additional protection against harmful flammable gas migration and fire spread.

Expanding foam spray is effectively banned for sealing cable ducts in electrical and water utility sectors – the soft large cell structure will inevitably break down overtime and fail to provide adequate protection against water ingress or flooding into substations or buildings
