What are the Different Types of Earthing Systems Used in Electrical Installation?
July 31, 2020The number of equipment and devices that rely on electricity is increasing every year. As technological advancements and innovations expand, the reliance on stable electrical power continues to grow. Given these premises, it is inevitable that various property owners will certainly find and apply a solution just to give a stable, safe, and secure source of electrical power.
Understanding Underground Asset Location: Why is this Done?
July 15, 2020One part of any construction project that helps establish a strong foundation and structural support for a building is excavation. The foundation of every residential building or commercial facility must be installed on the grounds so that they can withstand different weather and natural disturbances like typhoons, floods, and earthquakes. It also provides the stiffness and strength needed by a specific building in resisting vertical forces of gravity.
The Importance of Soil and Backfilling for Underground Cables
June 29, 2020One of the main sources of power for most appliances and equipment today comes from electricity. For decades, electricity has been distributed to every home and establishment through distribution lines, mainly through cables. These cables are typically installed on either tall poles or underground.
What is the Main Purpose of Electrical Earthing or Grounding?
June 12, 2020One common fact about appliances and other related products is that they are powered by electricity. And whenever the metallic components of these products come in contact with a live wire, these components may become overwhelmed with electrical energy.
An Overview about Underground Cabling and Wiring Systems
May 27, 2020Over the last couple of decades, the concept behind underground cabling and wiring systems has been continuously adopted by numerous countries. Undergrounding is often seen as a replacement for overhead cables in providing electrical power or telecommunications. It solves the problem of frequent outages that are caused by high wind thunderstorms or heavy snow or ice storms. With undergrounding, property owners can also expect improved aesthetic quality over their landscapes and properties thanks to the absence of overhead cables.
Non-Destructive Trenching Services and Civil Works for Melbourne Projects
May 12, 2020Excavation companies traditionally use mechanical equipment and tools in trenching and other ground boring projects. However, most of them are now moving towards an alternative mode of creating trenches and other civil works. This mode is known as non-destructive digging.
Excavation Work: Managing and Reducing Risks
April 23, 2020Excavation work is done to remove soil or rock from a site to make a shaft, trench, or tunnel. Excavation can also be done to fill, or partially fill a trench, tunnel, or shaft. Any excavation activities that are done in these areas are relatively considered as high-risk construction work, so it would be necessary for the management to manage and reduce risks as thoroughly as they can.
Installation of Electrical Conduits for the Electrical Supply Industry
April 8, 2020Electricity is extremely important for homes and commercial facilities. So, it is just fitting for the electrical supply industry to protect its components from any possible failures and mishaps. One component that can help the industry distribute stable power is electrical conduits. They are normally used to protect and route electrical wiring in a building or structure.
How to Manage Electrical Risks during an Underground Cable Installation?
March 27, 2020All projects that involve laying electrical cable underground must be performed safely. Since this type of project can pose risks to people, objects or even plants if any of them come too close to the underground cable, the installers must know how to manage the electrical risks efficiently. For this reason, we provide you some suggestions on how to accomplish this successfully.
How Engineers and Construction Managers Benefit from Directional Boring
March 13, 2020The utility, gas, oil and construction industries are examples of the entities that rely on directional boring to prepare their sites for the necessary electrical wires, cables or pipes for a specific project. This non-trenching method of digging is also known as horizontal drilling, horizontal directional drilling and other names.
Why Do You Need an Earthing System in an Electrical Network?
February 21, 2020Many elements go into creating an effective electrical network for both commercial and residential properties. One such element that is a necessity is an earthing system to ensure that this network is properly grounded. Through grounding or earthing an electrical system or network, you ensure that it transfers any immediate electricity discharge directly to a special pipe or plate to keep this powerful source of energy safe to use.
Top Excavation Safety Hazards to Keep in Mind
February 7, 2020Before any new construction project can take place on a site, professionals must excavate the area to prepare it properly. This action includes such tasks as clearing debris, rocks and topsoil from the area as well as grading, digging trenches and more. While some of these jobs are done manually, others require heavy equipment to get the tasks done correctly.
Avoid Excavation Mishaps: Hire Only VEDN Accredited Contractors
January 20, 2020Excavation services, those that unearth long, narrow ground trenches, really should be conducted by VEDN accredited contractors. If the goal was to dig one deep hole, a soil opening that didn't hold a team of utility workers, then things would be considerably different. A fence support or lamp post or tree root system would sink delicately into the hole, and then there's some backfilling work to do. Job finished, everyone would pack up and head back to the work depot. Trenches are worksites, though, not empty holes.
The Importance of Having an Underground Asset Location Checklist Prior to an Excavation Project
January 9, 2020When excavation projects need a healthy dose of operational discipline, they employ Underground Asset Location Checklists. Before a single tool is pulled out of a work van, this project aid is right there, on-hand to ensure a systematically run job. Granted, such assignment organizing aids might not benefit simpler work tasks, but then below ground services are rarely straightforward. Given that fact, underground assets need to be carefully tracked.
