At Electricity Asset Services, we deliver professional cable laying services across low, medium, and high-voltage networks throughout the UK.
Cable laying is an essential part of building and maintaining the electrical infrastructure that powers homes, businesses, and industry. It involves the safe installation of underground or ducted cables, ensuring they are correctly positioned, protected, and ready for connection. The process typically includes excavation, ducting, cable pulling, joint bay construction, and reinstatement, with close coordination between civil, electrical, and project teams at every stage.
In power and utility projects, the quality of cable installation directly affects the reliability and lifespan of the entire network. Inadequate installation can cause faults, increase maintenance needs, and result in costly downtime. To prevent this, our engineers and site teams follow rigorous procedures, using approved materials and specialist equipment to meet the standards of DNOs, IDNOs, and private network operators.
At Electricity Asset Services, we combine technical expertise with practical field experience to deliver cable installations safely, efficiently, and to specification. Our teams understand ground conditions, route planning, and network design, ensuring cables are installed with minimal disruption. From new connections to network reinforcements, every project is completed with a focus on safety, quality, and lasting value for the client.
