In particular, the invention relates to a system for regulating the temperature of a cable which is laid at least partly in a body of water and on land, said system including: means for collecting water on the land-side such that water can be collected into said means and can be dispensed out of said means; means for controlling a quantity of water such that a quantity of water flowing out of the means for collecting water on the land-side or flowing into said means from the body of water can be controlled; and means for cooling a cable, said means surrounding the cable in the form of a sleeve in at least one section of the means for collecting water on the land-side up to a body of water, wherein a cavity through which the water flows in order to cool the cable is formed between the cable and the means for cooling the cable. The invention additionally relates to the use of a system according to the invention.

A device that is capable of creating multiple connections on a grounding point in a single airport hangar, as well as reducing the likelihood of there being a tripping hazard over the connected cables, while also assisting in preventing damage to cable connections which may result from vehicles being driven inside an airport hangar.

Precast utility enclosure aprons for buried utility enclosures that have an angled top surface to direct water, ice and debris away from the center of the apron and to limit damage to the apron and utility enclosure caused by impacts to the apron.

The application relates to a transmission cable joint for a medium voltage underground cable system. The cable joint comprises at least a casing and connection terminals for coupling wires of transmission cables. In addition, the connection terminals are in connection with an inductance component that is sheltered by the casing and limits capacitive earth fault current, when the coupled cables produce such current.

A method for electrically grounding and corrosion-protecting a metallic structure includes combining a cementitious powder with water to form a cementitious slurry, applying the cementitious slurry to at least a section of the metallic structure, and curing the cementitious slurry to form a water impermeable and electrically conductive cementitious surround on the section. The cementitious powder includes a cement and a particulate carbonaceous material. The cementitious powder is combined with the water in a ratio of less than or equal to about 2.5 US gallons of water per 55 lb of cementitious powder.

A wire installation apparatus is provided. The wire installation apparatus includes a body through which a peg passes, a reel installed in the body to surround a wire, a wire guide member guiding the wire, and an external force transfer member transferring an external force, applied from the outside, to the peg so that the peg is driven into a ground. The wire is installed by the peg driven into the ground.

The present application described methods an apparatus for locating and/or monitoring subsea cables (101) having an optical fibre (105) deployed along its length. The optical fibre (105) is connected to a distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) interrogator unit to interrogate the optical fibre to provide a fibre optic DAS sensor. To locate the cable an acoustic stimulus is transmitted into the water from one or more known locations. The time of arrival of an acoustic signal matching the stimulus at the sensing portions of the DAS fibre can be detected and used to determine information about the location of those sensing portions to the known location. The DAS signals returns can also be monitored under ambient conditions to detect any signals indicative of likely damage to the cable.

An improved mechanism for retaining screws for a conduit body cover is disclosed. The screws are retained by a layer of PVC lining the inner surface of holes in the cover.
