What was the problem?

  • Testing switch gear and panels at substations required costly test kits
  • Kits can cost up to $3,000

Omexom’s solution

  • Omexom technician repurposed the inner solid core of scrap MIMS cable to create 12 test probes of three variances
  • Client granted approval for the idea

Benefit to the client

  • Reduced delays for testing and commissioning
  • Repurposed scrap material that would otherwise have to be processed for recycling
  • Reduced carbon emissions by taking materials out of large-scale recycling loops and re-tasking them
