Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Dec 23, 2005

Nexans has signed a Eur 18 million contract with Provincial Electricity Authority for a submarine high voltage link between Khanom and Ko Samui Island in the Gulf of Siam.

Nexans, the worldwide leader in the cable industry, has signed a Eur 18 million contract with Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) to supply a submarine high voltage link between Khanom, on the mainland, and Ko Samui Island, Thailand's third largest island, in the Gulf of Siam.

For this contract, Nexans is participating in a consortium with Italian Thai Development PCL, one of the major builders of Thailand's infrastructure.

Nexans is supplying and installing 24km of 115kV three-core XLPE power cable and related accessories.

This cable consists of three 240 mm2 copper conductors with a single layer of galvanised steel wire armour, including a 24-strand fibre optic cable.

This new high voltage link will be installed in parallel with the existing 115kV oil-filled submarine connection commissioned in 1996.

This time, PEA has chosen the "new generation" of high voltage cable with XLPE insulation, easier to install and less demanding in term of maintenance.
