The present invention provides a non-return valve for a resin injection system, especially for use in electrical cable joints, comprising: a valve housing which includes an outlet for a fluid flowing through the valve; and a valve body which is held by the valve housing and is freely movable between a closed position, in which the outlet is substantially sealed or closed to fluid flow by the valve body, and an open position, in which the outlet is substantially open to fluid flow. Thus, with the present invention, the valve body can be loosely held by the valve housing and the valve need not include any spring means to bias the valve body to the closed position. The invention also provides a resin injection system for sealing a localized breach in an object, such as an electrical cable joint.

A variety of spoolable gaskets are configured to seat within a micro trench to form a water tight, damage-resistant seal. In some aspects, the seal may be removed to allow for subsequent access to utilities installed therein. The seal has a suitable compressive strength to support the trench walls without damaging the pavement and accommodates expansion and contraction of the micro trench and pavement caused by changes in temperature. Systems and methods involving the seal member are also disclosed.

A cable joint is disclosed for mutually connecting a first cable end and a second cable end. The cable joint comprises a shell defining a hollow interior space, into which the first cable end and the second cable end can extend in order to be mutually connected within the hollow interior space. The hollow interior space is fillable with a curable resin; and wherein the cable joint further comprises at least one motion promotor configured to allow the first and/or second cable end to expand and/or contract with respect to the shell after curing of said resin.

The present disclosure generally relates to an electrical box, an assembly including such a box and a method for producing same. The electrical box may have a rear wall and opposing side walls made from an injection moldable thermoplastic material, wherein the side walls define a front opening opposite the rear wall. The electrical box may further have at least one cable entry port formed in one of the side walls wherein the at least one cable entry port is provided with at least one cable-clamping closure structure. Still further, the electrical box may have a slot structure comprising at least two retaining slots provided on opposed side walls each formed for receiving and retaining at least one nail guide or mounting bracket, and/or at least two support structures provided on opposed side walls at the front edge thereof wherein each support structure can have at least one round aperture for receiving a cylindrical shaft.

An offshore wind energy system comprising a foundation having a first hollow structural element with a longitudinally extending, circumferential first wall. A cable bushing penetrates through the first wall and is arranged in the first wall. At least one cable guide arrangement extends in a radial direction and is arranged at an outer shell surface of the first wall of the first hollow structural element. The cable guide arrangement is configured to guide a submarine cable exiting the cable bushing from the cable bushing to a submarine bottom surface.

A butt closure base includes a base housing defining a plurality of cavities. A first gel is disposed in each of the plurality of cavities. The butt closure base further includes a plurality of wedge assemblies, each of the plurality of wedge assemblies removably insertable into one of the plurality of cavities. Each of the plurality of wedge assemblies includes an outer cover, a second gel, and a main pressure plate in contact with the second gel. The main pressure plate is movable along a longitudinal axis to apply pressure to the second gel. Each of the plurality of wedge assemblies further includes a latch assembly. The latch assembly includes an adjustable tab and a stop member movable between a first position which limits movement of the adjustable tab and a second position in which movement of the adjustable tab is not limited by the stop member.

Various embodiments of the teachings herein include an electrical device comprising: a cable wire; a cable insulation arranged around the cable wire such that a section of the cable wire at least partially longitudinally protrudes out of the cable insulation; a heat-shrink tube at least partially arranged around the cable insulation and at least partially around the section of the cable wire; and a sealing material at least partially inside the cable insulation thereby sealing any gaps between the cable wire and the cable insulation.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method is provided for pressurized routing linear components. The method includes obtaining data related to a project. Features are extracted from the obtained project data. The extracted features include linear component characteristics and project environment characteristics. A project design is obtained based on at least one of user input and predetermined extracted features from the extracted features from the obtained project data. The project design includes installation or uninstallation of a linear component in relation to an apparatus. Pressurization is calculated of a plurality of pouches disposed in a pressurized sleeve for the installation or uninstallation of the linear component in relation to the apparatus based on the project design. The calculated pressurization of the plurality of pouches disposed in the pressurized sleeve is implemented.
