Features and benefits

  • Removes the need to close down essential infrastructure for conductor repairs or in the event of an emergency
  • Cuts down the need for scaffolding, reducing accident risk
  • Lightweight, robust, weatherproof and easy to deploy
  • Twin rope system allows for recovery and redeployment
  • Flexible - CatchBlock isn’t specific to a single tug design
  • High conductor range, including the ability to allow mid-span joints/repair sleeves to pass through safely
  • Blocks can be connected for use on multiple bundle conductor systems

With increasingly stringent regulations, maintenance can be costly, time-consuming and challenging for the overhead line (OHL) industry - not least because there is a growing number of projects built beneath existing transmission and distribution networks.

Lightweight, robust and easy to deploy, CatchBlock helps overcome these issues, increasing efficiency and reducing costs.

REDUCED DISRUPTION
CatchBlock is an innovative OHL catenary roller system. Designed to deploy a twin-rope system, it allows the recovery and redeployment of broken conductors without the need to take possession of road/rail or client/third party property or infrastructure.

REDUCED ACCIDENT RISK
CatchBlock significantly reduces the need for erection and dismantling of scaffolding - cutting down the risk of accidents and harm to site workers.

REDUCED STRINGING COSTS
The reduced need for scaffolding, ease of deployment, and the ability to recover and redeploy, results in a faster, more efficient operation. With fewer hours of effort and less equipment required, Catch Block can deliver substantially reduced costs.

TRUSTED INNOVATION, OUTSTANDING SUPPORT, BESPOKE SOFTWARE
In addition to our complete engineering support service, we offer bespoke software for the CatchBlock system to replace spreadsheet calculations. Intuitive and easy to use, this software needs only limited training to enable site staff to complete regulatory checks.
The CatchBlock system has been rigorously trialled and tested. At no point has there been the need to take out possession orders for property or infrastructure, even with a failed conductor.

N.B. Contractors & Operators working within the UK should use the UK version only, outside the UK the EXPORT version should be used.
