11kV Jointing for Utility and Private Networks
We support 11kV circuits on DNO distribution networks, renewable energy connections, commercial and industrial sites, and infrastructure programmes. Our focus is simple: prepared teams, consistent workmanship, and clear communication on site.

- 11kV transitional joints — XLPE to PILC and other cable type combinations
- 11kV fault repairs — failed joint replacement and cable section repairs
- Indoor and outdoor 11kV terminations — into RMUs, switchgear and transformers
- Support for testing and energisation
- Planned installation on new builds, diversions and network reinforcement programmes

We have experience across the full range of 11kV joint systems and cable types encountered on UK networks:
- Cold shrink joint kits — 3M, Prysmian, Nexans and other manufacturer systems

- Push-on (slip-on) joint systems for XLPE cables
- PILC to XLPE transition joints
- 3-core and single-core cable configurations
