Abstract: The laying of power cables is a crucial aspect of developing and maintaining modern electrical infrastructure, which is vital for transmitting electricity reliably and efficiently. This review discusses the challenges and advancements in cable laying technologies, emphasizing the critical role of these techniques in meeting the increasing demands for power transmission in the backdrop of the global shift to renewable energy. Three main traditional cable laying methods are explored, including underground, overhead, and submarine, each suited to specific environmental and operational conditions. Then, the cable faults due to the impropriate laying process are discussed. Subsequently, the challenges and advancements encountered in cable laying processes are investigated, especially the difficulties of the cable laying of underground cable, submarine cable, and high-temperature superconductivity cable. This review also considers the impact of technological innovations on improving efficiency in cable laying processes, highlighting the advances driven by digitalization and automation.
