About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Baker Hughes Expands Namibian Presence with Liquid Mud Plant, Cement Bulk and Multi-Modal Facilities

  • New liquid mud plant is the largest in Namibia in terms of volume and capacity
  • Walvis Bay Port location will enhance efficiencies for customers and support local employment

WALVIS BAY, Namibia, Nov. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Baker Hughes (NASDAQ: BKR), an energy technology company, announced Thursday the opening of its new liquid mud plant, cement bulk facility and integrated multi-modal facility to support Namibia’s burgeoning energy industry and increase localization opportunities.

The facilities, including Namibia’s largest liquid mud plant in terms of volume and capacity, will serve as a key infrastructure necessary to supply drilling and completions fluids and cement bulk handling critical to serve offshore oil and gas operations. The integrated multi-modal facility will also house advanced testing and maintenance equipment to support a variety of subsea operations. The Walvis Bay facilities represent a substantial investment in the country from Baker Hughes.

“Namibia is poised to become one of Africa’s leading energy suppliers, and these operations significantly enhance our ability to support their goals,” said Amerino Gatti, executive vice president of Oilfield Services & Equipment at Baker Hughes. “Our new facilities represent the latest milestone in the growth of Namibia’s domestic oil and gas industry, and we are pleased to help the country realize these vital resources while creating new opportunities for its people.”

The liquid mud plant has the capacity to hold 15,000 barrels of drilling and completion fluids, allowing Baker Hughes to cater to the unique needs of each customer. The facilities are located at Namibia’s Walvis Bay Port, providing a consistent, local source of materials close to the country’s offshore fields that enhance efficiencies for customers.

The facilities employ local workers who have received advanced training in oil and gas operations from Baker Hughes. The company has also provided training to personnel from the National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia (NAMCOR) and the country’s Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) to help strengthen the nation’s pipeline of skilled workers.

Walvis Bay has become a hub for the Namibian energy industry since the discovery of substantial offshore oil reserves in the country’s Orange Basin. Since 2021, Baker Hughes has provided drilling services, subsea wellheads and tubular running services in the country.
