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
