Logistics and network
Shipping to Sri Lanka.
Consignments for Sri Lanka move Sea from Nhava Sheva or Mundra to Colombo, then road. Typical transit is 4 to 7 days; discharge at Colombo. We quote Ex Factory or FOB Mundra / Nhava Sheva, with payment by LC at sight or advance, USD.
The grid runs at 50 Hz with 400/230 V low-voltage supply and 11 kV and 33 kV distribution; 132 kV and 220 kV transmission. Distribution is operated by Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) and Lanka Electricity Company (LECO), regulated by Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL). Import conformity: SLSI consignment-based import inspection scheme for regulated products including cables and conductors; CEB and LECO technical specifications and type approvals.
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.
