Polypipe Civils & Green Urbanisation [CGU] supplied Ridgiduct Power HV in six metre lengths with a black outer wall and a red inner wall for both high voltage power and communication lines. The system was installed underneath the centre of the wind farm access roads by main contractor RJ McLeod, on behalf of client Blue Energy.
Providing a robust alternative to PVCu cable protection, Polypipe CGU’s Ridgiduct Power HV was installed to connect the wind turbines to the Grid Connection Point.
Specifically designed for use with high voltage power communication cables that operate at high temperatures, Ridgiduct Power HV meets the requirements of ENATS 12-24 class 1 specification for electrical cable ducts.
Thanks to its flexibility, inherent strength and ability to be cut to a desired length when required, Ridgiduct Power HV was the ideal solution for this project.
“Wind farm projects can be completed quickly thanks to the availability of high quality products such as Ridgiduct Power HV, which provided us with a robust and easy-to-install solution,” Alex Souden, Project Manager at RJ McLeod, said, “this was a large project, and the ability to connect the power for 10 wind turbines to a central system will ensure that the wind farm will remain operational for many years to come.”
