Abstract

Globalization and the intensification of the export of goods sometimes imply the arrival of alien species of insects dangerous for human health and sometimes for infrastructures. Termites inhabiting tropical and equatorial countries pose a high risk of damage to electrical infrastructure, directly buried cables especially. This paper addresses common conditions and effects caused by termites' attacks on buried cables, and related innovative protection measures for cable manufacturing. This protection has proven to make cables highly resistant to these attacks.
