Experienced in terminating In control panels and junction boxes, as well as terminating instruments.

Skilled in bending and installing tubing to precise specifications.

Competent in cutting, fabricating, and installing cable trays and channel trays.

Pull and rout cables

Safety First: Ensured all safety protocols were in place.

Powered down all necessary equipment and wore the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).

Plan the Route: Identified the exact paths for the cables, taking into account the length, bend radius, and potential obstacles.

Prepare the Cables: Measured and cut the cables to the required length. Labeled both ends clearly to avoid confusion during termination.

Use Appropriate Tools: Utilized PVC, polyester rope on longer pulls to guide cables through trays.

Routing: Carefully routed the cables along the planned path, securing them with cable ties or clips, raceways as needed. Avoided sharp bends and ensured cables were not pinched or strained.

Termination: Once routed, terminated the cables in the control panels, junction boxes, field instruments, emergency load center panels in the (4160v, 480v) MCC switchgear building according to the manufacturer's instructions or engineering drawings.

Testing: After installation, tested the cables for continuity, also tested instruments for proper function to ensure they met operational standards,

Documentation: Recorded the installation details, including cable types, lengths, and routing paths for future reference,

Made sure to follow any specific organizational or regulatory guidelines applicable to the project.
