Land cables that are buried into the soil are subject to pulling forces and mechanical impact, expecially during the laying of the cable. Therefore, specifications in certain countries (e.g. U.K.) prescribe the use of heavily galvanised armouring wires around the cable, thus increasing the cable's operational safety and life time. Bekaert is a reknown supplier of low carbon land cable armouring wires from its various factories all around the world .
