Does anyone have any experience with snaking 1200mm or larger power cables in tunnels? Im interested in how hard it is to do this with manual labour or if mechanised systems are better? I have to get up to 8 circuits into a 3 metre x 3 metre tunnel. The circuits are up to about 1000 metres long, using XLPE cables with a stainless steel metal sheath.

thanks
