Pictured : Installing 132kV Prysmian Cable Joints Using Prysmian (Pirelli) Multi Ram Crimping Tool - the EHV cable jointer is shown wrestling with a 132kV 1000sqmm copper cable prior to jointing using Prysmian straight joints.

132kV mechanical shearbolt connectors are currently undergoing type testing which will eventually negate the need for traditional style crimping by the jointer.
