Komatsus so-smooth dozer writes chapter of cable fable
Ulster ingenuity and tenacity are being tested to the full with the laying of 16km of cables for the land sections of the Moyle Interconnector to link Northern Irelands Electricity grid with that of Scotland.
The cable, about 115mm diameter, was shipped in lengths of 1600m each weighing 70 tonnes. Stewartstown earthmoving and pipelines specialist C.M Scullion & Son had the task of pulling out each section from the cable ship Stanelco anchored off Currarie Port in Ayrshire and Portmuck on Islandmagee.
To reduce transmission losses the interconnector comprises two cables carrying direct rather than alternating current. The two overland cables are laid 9m apart and 1.2 deep, greater depth being likely to cause overheating. Each pull had to unreel the entire 1600m of cable as joints were not acceptable, and delaying the ship would result in heavy penalties. However, use of the ship and pulling the cables ashore eliminated major disruption to local road systems and reduced the are of land affected.
Mr. Scullions original plan had been to use powerful winches but on the first day these proved slow and subject to breakdowns. Then the weather broke, and with the situation becoming critical he proposed using his Komatsu D65PX dozer.
At first the engineers were concerned that we might overload the cables 12.5t limit, so we installed a tensiometer on the drawbar. I dont think we could have done it with old-type transmission, but the Komatsu is so smooth that it did a far better job than the winches, he said.
Early in October the first cable was lowered from the ship onto floats, controlled by a fleet of workboats and divers. It was pulled onto the first of 1,500 rollers acquired for the job.
Ashore, the Scullion team had excavated the cable route and placed the rollers. Up to 30 men were positioned along the route of each 1600m pull, equipped with radios and flags to ensure that the cable was paying out smoothly uphill, downhill and round the corner rollers. Then began the first 12 weeks on rain.
The conditions were terrible, the water was running down the trench on what we soon named Killer Hill and work had to stop at times for the safety of the divers. I cant speak highly enough of the men, they worked for 10 hours in wet weather gear in mud up to a foot deep, Mr Scullion said.
He bought every flask in the area so a team of quad bike riders could distribute tea and food. As the mud deepened, he had hundreds on 2m x 1 m timber plates produced to support the rollers. The last 2 sections were landed on Friday October 6th, and the Scullion team with its 20 vehicles carrying excavators, dozers, dump trucks and rollers moved to Portmuck to bring the cable ashore on the Monday.
Much landscaping and reinstatement remains to be carried out when the weather improves. In the meantime Mr. Scullion has bought a 10t Hitachi tracked dumper to transport sand for bedding the cables. No other transport can work on the site because it is so wet.
His £1million contract involved 125,000m cut and fill and included groundworks for the cable, laying the cable and ground works for the interconnector station on behalf of main contractor Farrans. The Moyle Interconnector project is due to be completed by December
Halfway through the operation a sudden storm forced the ships crew to cut the cable and run for shelter. Despite the appalling conditions the unloading was completed by the end of the week.
.
Driven be Frank McDonnell, the Komatsu on its wide tracks never hesitated and played a key role in the operation. The longest pull was the last 1600m to the Moyle interconnector station near Ballylumford, and with several corners the dozer was exerting 11.5t just one tonne below the cables limit. By then we knew the tension could be accurately controlled, says Mr Scullion.
But everyone was pretty twitchy until the pull was finished.
Stewartstown contractor Colm Scullion found his Komatsu D65PX saved the day when winches proved unable to pull out cable for the Moyle Interconnector
