Underground
Cable Case Studies
Underground cables have been employed
in a range of situations to assist power project
developers to overcome local problems. For example,
shielded underground cables carry power through
urban areas where overhead lines would be technically
unfeasible or an unacceptable intrusion. In some
cases, the hidden nature of cables has protected
areas of outstanding natural beauty, such as the
Vale of York in the UK or the Gudena Valley in
Denmark. In other cases, cables have been substituted
for overhead lines in order to allow new developments
to work properly, such as at the new Madrid Airport.
