Logistics and network
Shipping to Laos.
Consignments for Laos move Sea from Nhava Sheva to Laem Chabang (Thailand), then road via Nong Khai to Vientiane; or via Da Nang (Vietnam) for the south. Typical transit is 12 to 18 days to port, 3 to 6 days road; discharge at Laem Chabang (Thailand) or Da Nang (Vietnam), then road. We quote Ex Factory or FOB Nhava Sheva; CIF Laem Chabang on request, with payment by LC at sight or advance, USD.
The grid runs at 50 Hz with 400/230 V low-voltage supply and 22 kV distribution as the national standard, with 35 kV in some provinces and 12.7 kV single-wire rural lines; 115 kV transmission. Distribution is operated by Electricite du Laos (EDL) and EDL-Transmission, regulated by Ministry of Energy and Mines. Import conformity: EDL technical specifications and type-test certificates; IEC standards.
LT cable was the second product line the business added, back when it made only poles. It is now a 1,000 kilometre a month operation, and it underpins the underground cable work we are known for in the field.
Because we lay cable as well as make it, the specification we manufacture to is the one we then have to install, joint and commission ourselves. That tends to concentrate the mind on the things that matter — insulation wall consistency, armour quality and drum handling.
