980km ground wire contract
Suzhou Furukawa Power Optic Cable Co Ltd (SFPOC) has been awarded a new
contract by Proyecto Infraestructura Del Peru (PDI) for the supply of 980km of
optical ground wire (OPGW) and fittings for one of the largest 500kV power
transmission projects in Peru.
The OPGW cable was custom designed to withstand the harsh topographical
and environmental conditions along the route of the transmission line, including
extremely long span, high wind and a corrosive atmosphere.
SFPOC completed 1,100km of OPGW for Nalcor Energy in 2014, with another
project of 1,000km for Interchile to be fulfilled later this year.
