Nexans Cables Engineering & Support Services

From cable selection and sizing to on-site installation supervision — our engineering team supports your project at every stage.

Cable Design

Custom Cable Design

Our design engineers develop bespoke cable constructions for non-standard requirements. From specialised conductor geometries to application-specific sheathing compounds, we deliver engineered solutions within 15 business days.

  • Conductor sizing and strand configuration
  • Insulation and sheath material selection
  • Screen and armour design
  • 3D CAD cross-section drawings
Cable Sizing

Cable Sizing & Selection

Accurate ampacity calculations considering installation method, ambient temperature, grouping factors, and thermal resistivity per IEC 60287. Voltage drop analysis per IEC 60228.

  • Ampacity derating calculations
  • Short-circuit current withstand analysis
  • Voltage drop verification
  • Cable schedule generation
Installation Support

Installation Supervision

Our field engineers provide on-site cable pulling supervision, jointing oversight, and commissioning testing to verify that installed performance matches design specifications.

  • Cable pulling tension calculations
  • Minimum bend radius compliance checks
  • Termination and jointing supervision
  • Post-installation HV testing
Testing

Third-Party Testing Coordination

We coordinate with accredited testing laboratories (KEMA, CESI, BASEC) for type testing, routine testing, and special test requirements specified in your project tender.

  • Type test programme management
  • Factory acceptance test (FAT) hosting
  • Witness testing arrangements
  • Test certificate package compilation
Logistics
