Project Background

The Nigeria EDO3 Cement Production Line Project is an industrial development in Edo State, Nigeria, involving cement production facilities and associated material-handling equipment.

CBMI, an international EPC contractor specializing in cement and building materials projects, required a range of cables for electrical distribution, motor drive systems, plant control, instrumentation signals, and communication networks.

Anhui Tiankang Group supplied the second batch of cables for the project. The approximately RMB 8.3 million supply package covered multiple cable categories and construction types to meet the project's specified electrical and control requirements.

The supplied products subsequently passed final acceptance. On March 15, 2024, CBMI issued an official acceptance certificate documenting its assessment of the supplied cables and Tiankang's technical service.

Project Challenges

1. Multi-Category Cable Procurement

Cement production lines use different cable types for power distribution, motor drives, control circuits, instrumentation signals, and communication systems. Coordinating these categories requires close attention to cable specifications, conductor sizes, shielding, armoring, and project documentation.

2. Industrial Operating Conditions

Cement plants can expose electrical installations to dust, vibration, and elevated temperatures. Appropriate cable construction and installation practices are important when selecting cables for motor circuits, control systems, and other industrial applications.

3. Variable Frequency Drive Applications

Variable frequency drive systems can introduce electrical noise into surrounding circuits. The project included specified VFD cables and shielded signal cables to address the requirements of motor drive and instrumentation applications.

4. Detailed Export Packaging Requirements

The project specified packaging limits, including maximum package dimensions of 12 m × 2.6 m × 2.8 m and a maximum weight of 26 tonnes per package. A volume-to-weight ratio requirement was also stated in the shipping instructions.

Compliance with these requirements called for coordinated packing arrangements, package measurements, weight control, and shipping documentation for delivery to the designated Chinese ports.

5. Technical Compliance and Acceptance

The EPC contractor required the supplied cable models, conductor sizes, armoring, shielding, and other construction details to conform to the applicable project specifications. Factory inspection records and technical documents supported the inspection and acceptance process.

Scope of Supply

Anhui Tiankang Group supplied the following cable categories for the Nigeria EDO3 project.

Low-Voltage Power Cables

  • YJV series, including specified configurations from 1×240 mm² to 5×2.5 mm².

  • YJV22 armored versions where specified.

  • Rated voltage and detailed construction according to the applicable cable schedule.

Variable Frequency Drive Cables

  • BPYJV2 series.

  • Specified configurations ranging from 3×35+1×16 mm² to 4×16 mm².

  • Cable construction selected according to the project requirements for variable frequency drive applications.

Signal and Computer Cables

  • DJYPV2V2 series.

  • Specified configurations from 2×2×1.0 mm² to 8×2×1.0 mm².

  • Double-shielded construction as specified for the relevant circuits.

Control Cables

  • KYJV2 series — unshielded configurations.

  • KYJVP2 series — shielded configurations.

  • Specified configurations from 3×1.0 mm² to 24×1.0 mm².

Documentation Package

Project documentation included applicable factory inspection and test reports, technical datasheets, material certificates, and export documentation.

Note: Detailed quantities and individual cable lengths should be added to the published scope if the original contract schedule is available.

Engineering Approach

Power Cable Selection

YJV and YJV22 power cables were included in the supply package in the specified conductor sizes and construction types. Cable selection for individual circuits depends on the project's electrical design, installation conditions, and load requirements.

Variable Frequency Drive Cable Supply

BPYJV2 series cables were supplied for specified variable frequency drive applications. The selected cable construction was based on the project's requirements for motor drive connections and electrical noise management.

Correct cable selection, routing, termination, and grounding practices remain important for the performance of VFD installations.

Shielded Signal and Control Cables

The package included shielded and unshielded control cables, together with double-shielded computer cables. These configurations support different control and signal transmission requirements throughout an industrial production facility.

The effectiveness of shielding depends on the complete installation design, including cable routing and appropriate shield termination.

Export Packaging and Logistics Coordination

Packaging arrangements were coordinated against the project's stated dimensional and weight limits. Shipment documentation and packing information supported logistics planning and delivery to the designated Chinese ports.

Factory Inspection and Project Acceptance

The supplied cables underwent the applicable factory inspection and testing process. According to the project records provided, final acceptance was completed on August 20, 2023, followed by the issuance of an official acceptance certificate by CBMI on March 15, 2024.

Project Results and Client Feedback

The project records document successful final acceptance of the supplied cables and the subsequent issuance of an official acceptance certificate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cable types are used in cement plant projects?

Typical cable requirements include low-voltage power cables for electrical distribution, VFD cables for motor drive systems, control cables for operating equipment, shielded signal cables for instrumentation, and communication cables for data transmission. The actual selection depends on the plant design and cable schedule.

Can Tiankang supply multiple cable categories for one EPC project?

Yes. Tiankang's product range covers power, control, instrumentation, signal, and communication cables. Multiple categories can be coordinated within a project supply package according to the approved specifications and agreed scope.

Can Tiankang accommodate special export packaging requirements?

Packaging can be arranged according to agreed project requirements, including specified package dimensions, maximum weight, labeling, and packing documentation. The final arrangement should be confirmed against the shipping instructions and transport method.

What technical documents can be supplied with project cables?

Depending on the contract and product requirements, documentation may include technical datasheets, factory inspection and test reports, material certificates, packing lists, and other agreed project records.

Which cable standards apply?

The applicable standards depend on the cable type, design, and project specification. Requirements should be confirmed for each cable category during technical review rather than assuming that a single standard applies to the entire package.
