Thorne & Derrick have partnered with SEB to service the Power Transmission & Distribution industry in wind, solar, rail, oil/gas, data centre, battery storage and utility sectors.

Pulling & Laying Cables

Thorne & Derrick have supplied a Cable Winch requirement to a leading provider of offshore power distribution, to the renewable and oil/gas sectors.

 

The refurbished and customised 5 tonne cable winch was customised to enable the pull and installation of medium/high voltage power cables – the cable winch was delivered within 2 weeks from receipt of client order.

 

The cable winch modification was based on the standard SEB TW5000 version with additional cable tension dynamometer.

Cable Winches

Representatives from across the utilities sector were shown first-hand how new developments in cable protection have made a significant step forward.

 

Centriforce, working through their distributor network including Thorne & Derrick, announced a new cable protection product that can help to improve working safety for High Voltage Electricity Cables applications -  known as the Stokbord Drum.

 

Stokbord is a highly versatile impact resistant product that protects underground utilities from damage and at the same time provides a highly visual alert of what lies beneath.

HV High Voltage Cable Protection

Working with the Electrification & Plant CRE Section Manager and the project Design & Delivery Team for the South Rail Systems Alliance, Thorne & Derrick supported by BCM GRC Ltd provided specification support, technical drawings and competitive commercial delivery of the GRC cable troughs to provide cable support and protection to rail signalling, communications and power cables.

 

As Preferred Distributors for the BCM GRC range of Glass Reinforced Concrete cable troughs: the purchase order was delivered within 4 weeks.
