Title:
A METHOD OF RESTORING ARMOURING ON A CABLE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002021654
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
A method of restoring armouring on a cable, in connection with jointing or after a repair of a cable, whereby a plurality of armour wires, distributed essentially uniformly around the circumference of the cable, are brought to make contact with the cable, in the form of helical lines, and are fixed to the envelope surface of the cable. Essentially straight armour wires are placed around the joint or the repair, essentially in parallel with the cable, such that a cage, or part of a cage, limited by a cage wall consisting of essentially parallel armour wires, is formed. Torsion is applied to the cage wall such that the armour wires are given the shape of helical lines or an essentially helical-like shape close to the surface of the cable and the joint or the repair. The two ends of the armour wires which are in the form of helical lines, or which have an essentially helical line-like shape, are connected to the armouring of the cable on the respective sides of the joint or the repair. The armouring is lashed over the whole, or essentially the whole, region of the joint or the repair.
