A METHOD OF RESTORING ARMOURING ON A CABLE

摘要

A method of restoring armouring on a cable, in connection with jointing or after a repair of a cable, whereby a plurality of armour wires, distributed essentially uniformly around the circumference of the cable, are brought to make contact with the cable, in the form of helical lines, and are fixed to the envelope surface of the cable. Essentially straight armour wires are connected to the armouring of the cable on a first side of the joint or the repair, such that a cage, or part of a cage, limited by a cage wall consisting of essentially parallel armour wires, is formed. Torsion is applied to the cage wall such that the armour wires are given the shape of helical lines or an essentially helical line-like shape close to the surface of the cable and the joint or the repair. The other ends of the armour wires are connected to the armouring of the cable on the second side of the joint or the repair. The armouring is lashed over the whole, or essentially the whole, region of the joint or the repair.
