community where drill operators and owners can share their
stories—their successes, challenges, best practices—in order
to create a worldwide community and build camaraderie.”
Navigator Nation was first launched in January 2013 as a
campaign and video contest to promote HDD and the skilled
professionals who contribute to the industry. The website
was created to show the passion and expertise drill operators
have for their profession and elevate awareness for the new
generation of HDD operators. The progression of Navigator
Nation is about connecting operators with other professionals
in the industry.
Anyone can join Navigator Nation; however, the site is
limited to HDD-related content. Users register using one of
their existing social media accounts (Facebook, Google+,
LinkedIn, or Yahoo!). Once registered, operators can upload
photos and video from a desktop or mobile device; comment
on other users’ posts and share on their personal social me-
dia sites; check in or post where their drill job is located; post
statistics on projects, such as bore length, soil conditions and
challenges; and pose questions and offer insights to others.
Condux Tesmec
Anti-Twisting Steel Braided Rope
F
UX/FUH anti-twisting galvanized steel rope from
Condux Tesmec is specially designed to serve as pull-
ing rope for stringing overhead transmission lines.
FUX galvanized steel rope is an anti-twisting rope made up
of braided strands and offers complete stability to rotation,
high break loads, flexibility, and corrosion resistance. FUH
offers the same benefits of FUX but is made with high tensile
strength steel strands, allowing for higher working loads with
the same diameter.

very flexible, producing less stress and providing a longer life
span. FUX/FUH is a safe and economical rope for overhead
stringing operations.
Condux Tesmec
offers a full line of
stringing equip-
ment including
pullers, tension-
ers, and puller-
tensioners as well
as productivity-
enhancing con-
ductor stringing
tools and acces-
sories.
