Underground cables sustain damage from the environment over time, particularly water damage. Water accumulation in cables can cause two types of problems: the formation of water trees, which result in poor dielectric performance, and splice or component failures. Water damage disrupts service, leading to increased service and repair calls, as well as a greater number of unhappy customers.
You are left with 2 choices:
- Repair or rejuvenate your aging cable
- Replace old cable with new cable
Replacement of underground cable is an expensive proposition. This is particularly true in urban or highly developed suburban areas, where digging up cables may involve disruption of traffic and expensive restoration.
For aging underground medium voltage cables with standard conductors, the best solution is often CableCURE.

UtilX has almost 20 years of injection experience solving the worst reliability problems on more than 24,000 km of cable. When you are faced with aging underground cables, UtilX offers advanced technologies that significantly extend the life of conventional cables.
When you choose CableCURE to rejuvenate your aging cable, you’ll enjoy these direct benefits:
- You'll leverage your budget Euros. Make your reliability budget stretch further. With CableCURE you'll be able to spread the same budget dollars over many more cables. CableCURE costs significantly less than cable replacement, it is often more than 60% less expensive.
- You'll see a decrease in outages and customer complaints. With 99% of treated cables enjoying failure-free performance, you will notice a rapid decrease in complaints from your customers. Because the injection process requires no or little digging, most of your customers will never be aware of the repair work. All they will notice is that their power supply is more reliable than before -- because the treatment will result in a 2 to 4 times improvement in the cable's previous dielectric performance.
- You'll extend the life of your cables significantly. For previously installed stranded, solid-dielectric cables, CableCURE® technology can extend their life by at least 20 years at a mere fraction of the cost of replacement.
- You can count on our far reaching, extended warranty. For up to twenty years after proactive cable injection of a cable by CableCURE, in the rare event of the dielectric failure of any injected cable segment, UtilX will provide a cash refund for the full original payment received for that segment. This warranty, which is vastly superior to any warranty offered for conventional cables, is not only backed by the good faith of UtilX itself, but is also insured.
