Utility - Asset Maintenance Program

$0.00

S&S Cable offers utilities a comprehensive Annual High Voltage Underground (HV/UG) Maintenance Program designed to ensure system reliability, extend asset life, and mitigate costly outages. Our program is built on decades of hands-on transmission experience, delivering a level of technical expertise, precision, and safety standards that separates us from traditional inspection vendors.

Core Services

1. Manhole & Vault Inspections

  • Annual visual inspections of all manholes, vaults, and transition structures.

  • Documentation of cable conditions, splices, terminations, supports, brackets, sump pumps, ladders, and grounding systems.

  • Gas detection & confined space safety compliance for all entry activities.

  • Debris, water, and corrosion control reporting with remediation recommendations.

  • Integration of inspection results into GIS and asset management software for client access.

2. Cable & Accessory Condition Assessments

  • Inspection of HPFF, XLPE, and PILC cable systems for thermal, mechanical, or fluid issues.

  • Partial discharge (PD) testing, sheath integrity, and fluid pressure monitoring to detect early-stage failures.

  • Verification of splices, joints, and terminations against manufacturer standards.

  • Thermographic scanning to detect hot spots or insulation weaknesses.

3. Preventive Maintenance & Emergency Readiness

  • Proactive identification of high-risk components for early replacement.

  • On-site corrective maintenance, including sealing leaks, repairing brackets, and restoring faulty sumps.

  • Establishing standby emergency response crews familiar with the system for faster mobilization.

  • Stocking of critical spare parts and joint kits in alignment with client inventories.

4. Environmental & Compliance Support

  • Dielectric fluid leak monitoring and containment strategies for HPFF systems.

  • Full compliance with EPA, DOT, and local environmental regulations.

  • Documentation for utility regulatory audits and internal compliance reviews.

  • Development of emergency containment plans for manholes located near waterways, railroads, or high-traffic corridors.

5. Digital Asset Reporting

  • Each inspection linked to digital manhole/vault profiles with photos, video, and condition ratings.

  • Centralized client portal for real-time reporting, trend analysis, and predictive maintenance alerts.

  • Compatibility with utility CMMS/Procore integration for seamless data sharing.
