A contract with British Energy saw Technology Installation Services install 10 kilometers of 24-core single-mode fibre-optical cable a Hinkley Point B Nuclear Power Station in Somerset. The cable was made to order for TIS by Tyco Electronics’ AMP NETCONNECT factory in North Wales.
The single-mode fibre-optical cable was used for external installations, with multi-mode cable for the interior of buildings and structures.
The contract, which was carried out over a three month period, required Technology Installation Services’ engineers to undergo comprehensive health and safety training to meet the power station’s strict policies and procedures.
