Brendan Hass, Product Manager of Grounding & Bonding Solutions at Panduit describes the dangers of an exothermic welding systems and says that they are often overlooked due to complacency or lack of education about the direct burial process. At Panduit have specifically engineered structured ground lines to increase installation efficiency, connection reliability and job site safety.

Exothermic systems are both physically and logistically awkward to use as the moulds can only be used with a specific connection type and often the complexity of the project increases the amount and types of moulds required. The versatility and wide range of capabilities of the Panduit Compression System allow for easy use and maintenance.

The efficiency has also been tested installing 4 times faster than exothermic, no delays due to hot work permits or inclement weather and the cable tie turns a 2 man job into a 1 man job. The most common concern about compression is the reliability. Panduit Compression has gone through rigorous testing including IEEE standard 837, MIL-STD-202G and patented anti-oxidant compound.

With Panduit safety comes first with all tools certified with the following UL 467 listed, no hot work permits increases jobsite safety and easy consistent inspection (scratch no-flame design) making it easy to identify.
