 Underground Cable Installation Solution Story 

When it comes to underground cable installations, there are many known factors. However, there is one critical unknown factor at the core of every cable installation project—Coefficient of friction or COF. Polywater helps companies calculate and safely reduce COF using a combination of the right cable lubricant and with the Polywater Pull-Planner™ cable installation planning software. The ability to successfully reduce COF can yield considerable time and cost savings, both in system design and installation practices. While COF data from the Pull-Planner can be leveraged to make more informed decisions on future cable installations—giving companies a real business advantage. Watch this video to learn more about how Polywater helped one company leverage COF data to improve their cable installation practices.
