The Problem When Entering Cable Ducting
Ducting is used extensively across the UK for the installation of utilities and has many advantages, but there are some major disadvantages that are a big cause for concern with regards to faults and exposure which impacts on safety, costs and the environment.
Currently it is difficult and costly to access utilities as a means to; inspect, isolate, make connections or carry out maintenance works and repairs. Engineers often have to excavate multiple and larger areas to pinpoint a fault which has direct impact on the efficiency of the required work. Asset owners safety systems are both inconsistent and arguably unsafe. They potentially put employees and engineers at risk and can impact time scales, have huge cost implications and the local disruption can be exponential.
This problem requires innovation and a new method of working to improve engineer safety, minimise local disruption and have a more cost-effective duct access solution.
The Solution
Eco Live have created an innovative and effective solution that allows engineers to carry out any required works efficiently and most of all, safely.
The process allows works to be undertaken without risk to employee’s health and safety and with greater precision, cutting back on time, cost implications and creating less disruption with a reduced environmental impact. This solution can be conducted from a single excavation point directly above the suspected fault, or when the service requires exposure while the cables are live or isolated and causes no damage to the cable sheaths.

The ControlPoint App
To accompany this process the ‘ControlPoint Application’ has been developed to assist the technician in multiple ways. The App allows for real time process control and capture, is linked with GPS to precisely locate the area of a suspected fault and provides live technical data to allow any works to be carried out quickly and effectively.
