Lovink cable splices solution in reduced pit area Sydney
LoviSil® trifucate splices deliver results in confined pit installation – Sydney, Australia
Endeavour Energy, a leading electricity distributor based in Sydney (formerly known as Integral Energy), recently experienced the benefits of LoviSil® trifurcate cable splices during a challenging substation upgrade in South West Sydney.
Compact MV splice installation in urban conditions
The Hoxton Park Team was tasked with making two medium voltage trifurcate splices and replacing the switchgear at a Pad Mount Substation. This work was part of a planned reconfiguration of the local distribution network.
However, the project team quickly ran into space constraints. Underground gas mains, water lines, and telecom cables significantly reduced the maximum allowable pit size. The limited working area presented a serious installation challenge.
Lovink cable joints chosen for compatibility
Richard Jeremiejczk, Leading Hand Cable Splicer at Endeavour Energy, consulted KD Fisher, the official Lovink Enertech distributor in Australia. After reviewing the site limitations, they determined that the LoviSil® trifurcate splice offered the best fit.
Because this splice design eliminates the need for advanced parking of parts, the crew easily completed the installation within the reduced excavation area. The team noted how smoothly the work progressed, even in a tighter space than usual.
A medium voltage splice with built-in water protection
When the team arrived on-site, they discovered that the excavation pit was filled with water. Before starting the splice work, they had to pump out the water. This condition highlighted another key advantage of the LoviSil® solution—its proven resistance to water ingress. This feature offers long-term reliability, especially in flood-prone or moisture-heavy environments.
Key benefits of LoviSil® trifurcate splices
✅ Compact design — Ideal for small pit areas and urban environments
✅ Fast, flexible assembly — No need for part pre-positioning
✅ Water ingress protection — Supports long-term cable joint reliability
✅ Proven performance — Trusted by utility teams across Australia and beyond
The Hoxton Park substation upgrade shows how LoviSil® cable splice technology helps utility teams complete complex projects safely and efficiently—even in space-restricted conditions. For urban electrical infrastructure, waterlogged installations, or tight timelines, LoviSil® offers a reliable, field-tested solution.
