Usage of the pulling robot for replacing conductors

  • 1. Step I: the cradle blocks are positioned on the existing GW cable by means of a guide rope pulled by traction robot OMAC F405. A pulling rope passes in the lower wheels of the cradle blocks.
  • 2. Situation at the end of the step I
  • 3. Step II: the new OPGW cable replaces the pulling rope
  • 4. Situation at the end of the step II
  • 5. Step III: the cradle blocks rotate upside down and the old GW cable is replaced by the OPGW cable
  • 6. Step IV: the pulling rope replaces the old GW cable
  • 7. Step V: the cradle blocks are recovered
