Knowing the electrical distance to a fault is only useful if the cable route is known. We can trace and mark buried power cable routes to support fault location, excavation and planned works.
What the service can include
- LV and HV cable route tracing
- Route marking on site
- Depth indication where equipment and conditions allow
- Support where drawings are missing or inaccurate
- Route verification before excavation
What we need from you
Send the site location, network voltage, approximate cable length and type if known, what protection operated, any existing IR/continuity test results and whether the cable route is known. Photos of terminations, switchgear labels, drawings or previous test records are useful where available.
Repair after location
Where a fault position is confirmed and the cable is safely isolated and accessible, suitable repair works can be coordinated through R&D Cable Jointing .
