SOCIO-TECHNICAL INITIATIVES FOR UNDERGROUND CABLE ASSET
MANAGEMENT
2
Problem DefinitionTotal Length 4050 Ckt Km:
Annual Growth 50Km/Yr Rising trend in ED
O&M Cost & Revenue Loss :Around 6 Cr Per
AnnumCustomer Dissatisfaction
UG Cable damage by External Agencies
Initiatives Taken
Cable Route Tracing & GIS
Mapping
Physical route marker
installation at damage prone
locations
Introduction of Toll Free No. for inter utility co-
ordination
Stickers of Toll free No. pasted on
JCB/HDD Machines
Training imparted to JCB & HDD
operators/Workers
Combined effort by OMS/FLC/Zonal
team to prevent ED
GPS Mapper Damage Prone Location IdentificationCable Route Tracing
Cable Route Tracing of all the existing 11/33/66 KV Cables. Cable Routes are updated in GIS with the help of GPS Mapper. Approx. 5000 Fault prone locations identified for physical route markers
installation
Implementation
Precise cable route in GIS enhanced the awareness of cable route at root level
Easier to share the cable route profile and position of our UG network to other utilities.
Installation of physical route marker can be done accurately.
GIS Mapping
Introduction of Toll Free Number. 1500 Nos stickers pasted at various
JCB/HDD machines
Around 78 Nos. of Training imparted to JCB/HDD operators
More than 150 Nos call received at Toll Free Number
External Damage mitigation in all such cases with the joint effort of OMS, Zone & FLC Team.
Conventional Route Marker Route Marker with Toll Free Number
Approx. 5000 Fault prone locations identified for physical route markers installation.
3000 Nos Cable route markers installed at various damage prone locations.
Step Ahead RFID ball markers installation on under
ground cable joints. Adding attributes in the RF Marker Date of joints Make of joints Depth Details of jointer
Impact: Efficient and accurate mapping of
assets, better O&M practices, reduced Repair/maintenance costs & prevention of external damage of U/G assets
