Tieleman Excavation & Construction offers end-to-end cable laying services to install power and communication lines securely underground. One method we specialise in is open trenching for direct cable burial. Our crew excavates trenches along the designed route (or works with our Trenching Services team), carefully lays cables on a bed of sand or select fill, and then backfills with proper compaction. We take precautions like adding protective tape or covers above utility cables to prevent accidental damage from future excavation. This approach is ideal for projects such as mine site power distribution or local network expansions, where new cable runs can be buried in undeveloped ground.
For projects involving existing pit and pipe or conduit infrastructure, our team is equally adept at pulling cables through these pre-installed ducts. Working closely with our Cable Hauling specialists, we handle cable laying in enclosed systems, feeding electrical or fiber-optic cables through conduit networks efficiently and without damage. Whether placing high-voltage feeder cables through underground pipes or blowing fibre cables through telecom ducts, we have the equipment and expertise to complete the job safely. We also perform any necessary intermediate pit work, such as hauling cable between access pits, and secure proper bending radii and slack as per engineering standards.
Throughout the cable laying process, quality and safety remain top priorities. Our technicians adhere to electrical codes and telecommunications standards for cable separation, bending radius, and depth of cover. We perform inspections before backfilling to ensure cables are undamaged and properly positioned. Additionally, we can install warning tapes, marker posts, or locator wire above buried cables to facilitate future identification. By entrusting your cable installation to Tieleman Excavation & Construction, you gain peace of mind that every meter of cable is laid correctly and protected for the long term.
Whether you need new power lines across a mine lease or fibre connectivity for a remote site, our cable laying team is ready to get to work. Reach out to contact us or request a quote, and let us handle the critical task of deploying your underground cables swiftly and safely.
