Belowground Pipeline Networks for Utility Cables, MOP 118, provides a general overview of methods used in placing utility cables belowground, including formal underground conduit systems and relatively low-cost direct-buried facilities with an emphasis on cost-effectiveness and space efficiency. This manual describes past practices, as well as more recent techniques in which individual pipes or ducts may be advantageously deployed in conjunction with direct-buried cables. Related design, construction, and operational requirements and guidelines are provided, along with analyses of topics including: underground conduit systems; direct-buried systems; cable installation methods in ducts; hybrid belowground cable networks; and status of belowground cable networks.
Providing both introductory and specific design and construction information to support the implementation of a proposed hybrid belowground cable network, this book will be valuable to new and experienced engineers involved in road and community construction, utility owners, contractors, municipalities, and project owners.
