Cable Laying and Testing Costs

This document provides cost estimates for different methods of laying 33KV underground cables, including laying cable in an open trench, in HDPE pipes, in cable ducts, and using horizontal directional drilling. The costs include expenses for materials, labor, overhead, and supervision. Horizontal directional drilling is noted to be the most expensive option due to its technical complexity, with estimated total costs over half a million rupees per kilometer laid.
