Resin for underground joint protection
Phoenix 2K Resin jointing compound from Phoenix International, Denmark, has
recently been used on several major new projects in the Middle East. The 2K Resin
jointing compound, specially designed for
MV and HV underground joint protection,
has passed IEC60840 testing for the
sixth consecutive test for certification on
projects in Qatar for a major Scandinavian
Cable producer.
Following the failure of other protection
systems during installation in Qatar,
project managers re-tested 2K Resin for
certification with their customer.
2K Resin will now be installed on all
underground joints on this high voltage
project. Phoenix International will also
provide on-site support and consultation
for the first few joint bays. 2K Resin has
been used successfully throughout the
UAE on large high voltage projects for
the last few years, and the use of this type
of high-level joint protection continues
to expand thought the region, as both
cable producers and operators see the need
for long term protection of underground
cable joints.
