Price of underground cables
Since the invention of electricity, the world’s population has been using more and more energy. Electricity can be generated in various ways. Cables are used to transmit electricity. Most of these cables are buried underground. Today, underground cables come in various types and sizes. The price of an underground cable therefore depends heavily on the type and size of the cable.
Underground cables also often contain a steel sheath that protects the cable from external influences. Underground cables come in all shapes and sizes. These specifications determine the price of the underground cable. Underground cables may have a steel sheath that protects the cable from external influences. The conductor of the underground cable can be made of copper or aluminum. Just like all other cables, underground cables must also be replaced eventually. Currently, there is a great deal of roadwork taking place in the Rotterdam area. The cables that are removed are often sent to KH-metals for recycling.
Underground Cable Recycling
Because underground cables have what is known as a ground shield—made, for example, of steel wire or a lead sheath—they require a different dismantling process. This sheath serves both as protection and as a ground conductor. Krommenhoek Metals has maintained strong relationships for many years with earthwork contractors and infrastructure construction companies. In recent years, our company has gained extensive experience in purchasing and recycling underground cables. For our customers, this results not only in excellent prices but also in excellent service.
Examples of underground cables include:
- Submarine cable
- Offshore cable
- Aluminum-lead cable
- Copper-lead cable
- Underground cable
