What are they doing here??

Looks like they are in a manhole of some sorts. What is the cylinder thing that all the cables are going into or coming out of? Thanks.

I don’t know what it is, but I too hope that someone sees this and will be able to tell us what it is. If I were to guess, my guess would be a fire resistive cable system. If this guess is good as my usually guesses, I am not even close.

Thanks, Bill

Looks like they are splicing an underground transmission line. My guess is that the entire line is sealed in a pipe in insulating fluid of some sort.

That makes sense. Thank you.

It may be cooled by de-ionized water, which is non-conductive.
