Balata Rail Cable Straps

LU London Underground SSR2 Project

 

T&D working with several UKPN contractors on the LU London Underground SSR2 project have supplied more Balata Rail Cable Straps from stock to support signalling and comms cables across rail bridge containment cable runs.

Balata Straps are designed to provide a secure, reliable and robust cable supporting method suitable for use in all outdoor railway cable installations.

The cable straps are used for supporting HV, LV, signalling and comms cables across the existing Balata cable containment installed throughout the London Underground (LUL) network.

Balata rail cable straps meet Powerlink and London Underground specifications for securing, strapping and supporting cables on the existing containment systems across bridges - this includes LV, HV and Pilot cable support.
