UtilX offers a unique, turnkey program to its customers called "Test, Treat, or Replace". This program allows customers to optimize their reliability budget by treating all cables that can be treated, then replacing only those that cannot be effectively treated with the CableCURE® process.
While a majority of power cables can be cost-effectively treated with the CableCURE process, cables that have too many blocked splices or too many severe neutral corrosion sites in them may not be cost-effective for silicone rejuvenation. These cables will need to be replaced.
Prior to injection, the UtilX crew will perform some initial testing on the cable segment to determine whether it qualifies for CableCURE treatment or replacement. If the crew determines that a particular cable cannot be effectively injected, it will be scheduled for replacement.
The Test, Treat, or Replace program results in a completely upgraded cable system. This approach ensures maximum reliability with a minimum cost.
CableCURE treatment is a suitable Alternative to Cable Replacement when:
Experiencing a decrease in system reliability due to an increase of cable failures.
Disruption in service causes public relations and/or customer satisfaction concerns.
Limited budgets exist to address problem areas.
Unscheduled outages are just not acceptable!
