Cable Covers

Centriforce Tapetile and Stokbord underground cable protection tiles and covers are the market leading, heavy duty utility protection system for protecting underground cable and pipes – this includes low voltage, medium voltage and high voltage power networks working at 11kV/33kV up to and including 132kV/275kV extra high voltage cables.

T&D supply the most extensive range of Centriforce Cable Protection products from stock for delivery throughout the UK to most UK DNO specifications in both Tapetile and Stokbord ranges – used to protect MV-HV Underground Cables & Joints.

Centriforce Benefits

Centriforce Stokbord and Tapetile heavy duty plastic underground cable covers have virtually replaced concrete cable covers, tiles and plates for several reasons:

• Clearest warning of underground buried cables to third parties
• Can be custom made with sizes to suit specific utility cable protection for 11kV, 33kV, 66kV and 132kV
• Contains bold warning text and UK DNO logo for clear cable identification
• Damage to medium and high voltage cables less likely therefore reducing the cost of repairs, jointing and outages
• Lightweight and easy to install cable covers irrespective of weather and soil conditions
• Durable with good impact resistance
• Rotproof and resistant cable covers to wide range of soil conditions

Electrical Explosion – An 11kV Cable Strike

Two construction companies have been fined £90,000 after workers were seriously burned, and one scarred for life, after they cut into a live 11kV electrical cable. Unprotected underground cables distributing medium and high voltage electricity pose serious health and safety dangers.
