Services
High Pressure Cable Accessories
We design and manufacture high-pressure pipe-type cable accessories including splices, terminations, and custom joint kits for voltage ranges up to 345kV. Our products meet IEEE standards for performance and safety. These accessories ensure reliable operation of underground transmission systems through proprietary O-ring seals and cast epoxy insulators.
Monitoring Systems
Our monitoring systems provide real-time cable condition diagnostics including leak detection, thermal monitoring, and cathodic protection analysis. These systems enable predictive maintenance for underground power infrastructure. The technology includes 24-hour leak monitoring and dynamic ampacity rating calculations based on environmental factors.
Engineering Services
We offer comprehensive engineering services covering system evaluation, design specifications, staff training, and project management. Our expertise includes thermal modeling, electromagnetic analysis, and hydraulic system design. We support complete project lifecycles from initial concept through installation and commissioning.
Pressurizing Plants
We design and supply pressurizing and cooling plants for high-pressure fluid-filled cable systems. These plants incorporate smart diagnostics and remote monitoring capabilities. Our solutions increase cable rating capacity by up to 60% through advanced refrigeration technology and PLC-based control systems.
USAmp Prime Software
Our USAmp Prime software provides ampacity calculations for underground cable systems. It models steady-state and transient conditions for multiple cable configurations. The software supports dynamic rating calculations based on real-time temperature measurements and environmental conditions.
