Water & Gas Tight Cable Duct Seals. DSEAR Compliant.

This week T&D supplied 80off CSD RISE Duct Seal Kits to provide effective and reliable protection to low voltage power cable ducts (100mm and 150mm diameters, using CSD RISE Duct100 and CSD RISE Duct150) at Hole House Gas Storage project. EDF Trading Gas Storage Limited considered the benefits of CSD RISE kits and installed the cable duct seals for water and gas tight protection.

With the RISE system, CSD provides a high performing gas and watertight seal tested to last in excess of 50 years, with the benefit of easily adding or removing cables at anytime in the future. The RISE Duct Seal Kit ensures compliance with the DSEAR regulations - even in misshapen, rectangular and vertical ducts, with a large volume of cables passing through.

DSEAR Explained - DSEAR is the UK implementation of the European Union ATEX directive - Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 ( DSEAR ). The intention of the DSEAR Regulation is to reduce the risk of a fatality or serious injury resulting from a "dangerous substance" igniting and potentially exploding. Examples of a "dangerous substance" as defined by DSEAR include sawdust, ethanol vapours and hydrogen gas. The regulation is enforceable by the HSE or local authorities. Copies of Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations (DSEAR) 2002, Approved Code of Practice and guidance, L138[1], are available from HSE Books, ISBN 0 7176 2203 7.

Project Spotlight : EDF Energy has agreed a deal with British Salt Ltd to acquire a site to build a new fast cycle underground gas storage facility in Cheshire - it will be adjacent to EDF Trading’s existing facility at Hole House Farm, Middlewich. The deal, which is set to provide a major boost to the local construction and engineering sector once work gets underway, provides further stability for British Salt’s production plant, which employs 125 people. The storage facility will help secure the energy supply of the UK in the face of the continued decline of domestic gas production from the North Sea and gas being derived from many sources across Europe, Russia and North Africa. The storage facility is composed of 10 pre- existing cavities formed in the rock salt deposits some 200m beneath the ground. The cavities are currently full of brine which will be displaced by gas and used by British Salt as feedstock for their salt production process. When fully operation in 2016, EDF Energy’s fast cycle gas storage facility will have a total storage capacity of 36 million therms.
