Balata Cable Strapping For London Underground LUL SSR Upgrade

 

Rail Cable Strapping LUL

Balata Cable Straps - Rail

 

Balata strap products have been specified by LUL Capital Programmes Directorate to strap rail cables onto LUL cable post routes already supporting cables.

The LUL contractor took down the existing rail cables, which are due to be decommissioned and removed, and using balata strapping these cables were strapped onto the cable hangers of the existing cable posts routes, to free up space for the installation of new cables on the same cable posts routes.
