Powerful Concept — Secure Cables: Pipelife Cable Protection Systems for the New Ennsdorf Oil Mill

_{Major Electrical Supply & Cable Protection Project}

Modern production facilities of this size are, of course, dependent on a secure electrical supply and protected cables. As a rule, they are also equipped with their own transformer station. Karl Oberklammer from Elektro Oberklammer GmbH, has been working with the traditional Austrian company VFI for 15 years. One part of his team almost constantly works for VFI. Together, they have already implemented several exciting projects and works at both sites.

Due to the high standards required for cable protection, Oberklammer relies on Pipelife's quality products both in Wels and at the new Ennsdorf II oil mill. 5,000 m of protective piping were laid in Wels in the last two years, while a good 7,000 m of cable protection are already in use at the new Ennsdorf site.

In 2021, the pallet warehouse in Wels was equipped with an additional transformer station with a one-megawatt connection. At the new oil mill in Ennsdorf, which is currently being built, a new press, peeling facility, and biogas plant are under construction. The power supply lines to the silos and their monitoring systems, the transformer connection, secure data line installations, lightning protection, safety installations, as well as the wiring of the power supply connection to the grid are planned for the project. In terms of electrical installations and cable protection, the expansion of the oil mill in Ennsdorf is definitely a major project for 2022.

“The biggest challenge of the project in terms of cable protection lies with the large amounts of piping, as well as the large number of cables and cable harnesses. Here, we can rely on the cable protection systems from Pipelife as well as their excellent support,” notes Oberklammer.

For him, such good cooperation represents an important success factor in this project, both with VFI as the client and with Pipelife.

_{All-Rounder in Cable Protection}

In the future, the proven Cablemaster cable duct will ensure that cables and lines are laid safely at the production facility. With its wide range of applications, it is an all-rounder in flexible cable ducts and is used in electrical power, high-voltage current, communications, and communications technology. With Cablemaster, underground infrastructure remains protected and safe, and this also applies to lines planned for the future. The pipe is often installed as an empty conduit for retrofitted cables. Spacers such as those used in Ennsdorf also make layering possible. The Cablemaster cable ducts will ensure optimally protected cables in Austria's largest oil mill.
