Yes! I do have specific questions! smile

Of course, we in Russia have experience in arctic projects, however... perhaps there are some techniques which we're simply nor aware of.

Major problem in cabling works is quite a limited period for open-air installations - eventually 1-1,5 months, as soon as nearly all types of cables allow bending at +5oC and above, whilst thousands of kilometers should be installed on the open racks at heights, during at least 7-8 months.

I'm not aware of any other techniques of working at low temperatures than:
- unwinding cable rolls in heated temporary shelters;
- making long-range tents (tonnels) from Al-laminated plastic film around cable trays. The latter is very costly and labour-taking...;
- hot air-blowing from air guns along the cable tray at certain distance.

Anything else?

Perhaps there are some special cable marks/brands/types? Please advise...
