Cable Rejuvenation Services

Budget- and Environmentally-Friendly

Extend the Life of Your Underground Cable

As your underground electrical infrastructure ages, water seeps into the cable insulation, weakening dielectric strength, which could potentially lead to a failure. Southwire’s Cable Rejuvenation Services brings new life to your existing underground cables. Our highly experienced service teams inject damaged segments with a silicone-based fluid that reacts with the chemistry of the insulation to revitalize cable strength and extend life expectancy. Our services teams are dedicated to providing technical and operational support, prioritizing safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness for all our clients.
