Numbers in the wire and cable industry are, nearly
always, big. The investments, company buy outs,
length of cables on the ocean floor, they are all big
numbers.
And it seems that this theme continues in the June issue
of wiredInUSA with the first two stories providing some
startling numbers to digest.
Our lead story is from global giant Nexans which has
committed $85m for its extra high voltage cable plant
in South Carolina. And it was a serious building project
for the new vertical continuous vulcanization tower
with trucks working around the clock seven days a
week for 20 days to pour 6,000m

of concrete! You can
read the full story on page 9.
Hot on the heels is news that California's newest
power plant has gone online – three months ahead of
schedule.
The 800MW CPV Sentinel Energy project, near Palm
Springs, has already started flowing electricity to
640,000 homes in Southern California's Edison service
territory. All the details are on page 10.
But there is a lot more to read the further you get into
the magazine. Enjoy!
