Underground cable installation is where experience matters most. Tight conduits, multiple bends, long runs and heavy HV cables can quickly turn into delays if the pull isn’t planned and executed properly. S & R Foot works alongside electrical contractors across Melbourne and Victoria to make underground cable hauling smooth, safe and efficient from start to finish.
We specialise in hauling HV and LV cables through conduits, pits, trenches and duct systems, using the right equipment and techniques to protect the cable and reduce friction during the pull.
Underground pulls are rarely straightforward. Conduits may run long distances with several direction changes before reaching the next pit or switch room. Without proper setup, cables can snag, twist or suffer damage inside the conduit.
Our role is to set up the pull correctly, guide the cable through each pit using rollers and alignment tools, and control the tension from the winch so the cable moves smoothly through the entire run.
Early planning plays a critical role in underground cable installation success. We assist contractors with practical advice to ensure conduits, pits and routes are designed for smooth, safe cable hauling.
Ensure conduits are correctly sized for the cable to reduce friction and pulling stress.
Proper pit locations make long cable runs manageable and easier to control.
Avoid unnecessary bends and sharp direction changes that create hauling issues.
Spot layout problems early before they turn into delays on cable day.
Plan the run to stay within safe cable limits and prevent damage.
Work with your team so conduits, pits and access are ready when hauling begins.
