What was the problem?

  • At the City Rail Link project, the Omexom team needed a safer, more efficient manner of installing High Voltage cables down vertical shafts, up to 30 meters deep

Omexom’s solution

  • An electric motorised cable drum stand allowing accurate control of speeds in forward and reverse directions
  • Installation up to 30 meters per minute
  • Developed with Powerhouse Electric

Benefit to the client

  • Hazard prevention
  • Risk reduction of runaway cable during installation below the drum location
  • Hands off control of stand using a joystick controller
