Built for Infrastructure Delivery Teams Operating Under Programme and Safety Pressure
Infrastructure projects — utilities, rail, highways, and civils — involve some of the most demanding cable installation environments in the UK. Long runs, difficult access, tight possession windows, and safety-critical requirements mean standard installation methods often fall short. Corelay is designed for infrastructure scale and complexity.
What You're Responsible For
Smart cable pulling is designed around the delivery pressures that matter to infrastructure teams — programme certainty, installation quality, safety performance, and the compliance documentation you need at handover.
- Utilities and network infrastructure delivery
- Rail and transport framework management
- Civils package electrical coordination
- Framework and NEC contract compliance
- Site safety and health management on live infrastructure
Where This Applies
Corelay is deployed across major UK projects in the following sectors:
Built Around What Matters to Infrastructure Teams
Long-run tension control
Conventional winch pulling accumulates tension over distance — damaging HV and MV cables on extended underground or overhead routes. Distributed drive resets at every unit.
Access-constrained environments
The 28 kg chassis fits through access hatches, plant room entries, and constrained utility access points — deployable where larger equipment cannot go.
Safety on active infrastructure
Reduced snap-back risk and lower peak tension protect operatives working in confined, underground, or hazardous infrastructure environments.
Framework documentation compliance
Pull audit logs meet the documentation requirements of framework contracts, network operator specifications, and regulatory compliance for utility infrastructure.
Possession and window efficiency
Fast 15-minute deployment means more usable time within tight possession and access windows — critical on rail and utilities frameworks.
What Changes When You Use Corelay
- HV and MV cable sheath protection on long infrastructure routes
- Faster, safer operation within possession and access windows
- Framework-compliant installation documentation at no additional administrative cost
- Smaller crew requirement for the same installation output
The Technology Behind It
What Backs This Up
Corelay is NICEIC-approved, NSI Silver and BAFE accredited, TrustMark registered and Safe PQQ certified, carrying £10M public liability insurance and a 12-month written workmanship guarantee on every installation — the assurance package infrastructure teams need for supply chain due diligence and PQQ requirements.
Questions From Infrastructure Teams
Is Corelay's system suited to external and civil infrastructure environments?
Yes. The system carries an IP67 rating — dust-tight and rated for 1-metre immersion — and operates from 110 V or 230 V AC site power or battery pack. This makes it suited to external civil works, substations, tunnels, and other demanding infrastructure environments where standard equipment cannot be used.
How does Corelay support CDM compliance on infrastructure projects?
Automation directly reduces CDM exposure on cable pulls — fewer operatives in confined spaces, elimination of musculoskeletal strain from manual pulling, and reduced site activity in difficult-access areas. Corelay provides full QA documentation including pull audit logs and BS 7671 certification, formatted for your health and safety file and ITP.
