What was the problem?

  • Staff had to continuously move and climb up and down ladders to place huge lengths of cable into elevated trays throughout the City Rail Link (CRL) tunnels
  • Time-consuming, tedious and introduces wear and tear on equipment and crews

Omexom’s solution

  • An employee designed and fabricated a cable rolling pole
  • Allowed staff to simply pop cable rolled off a roller drum into elevated trays while walking alongside them

Benefit to the client
