I have a Mill in France that has a new Borehole, located circa 40
metres away, the Large size conduit (circa 5 inch) is already buried in
the ground, I am going to fit a Borehole pump 20 metres down the hole,
then run the wire through the conduit to the Mill.
But how do I get the wire to feed 40 metres down the conduit?, I have
read on the net that I could use curtain wire, but will this feed 40
metres without Kinking? I am reluctant to purchase a Quick cable set as
they come in 10 metre lengths and I would need to buy 4 of them for a
one off job.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

As a cable jointer on BT I've seen the way our gang lads get cables into
ducts. If the duct is empty (in your case it is) they would tie a string to
the handles of a plastic carrier bag, put the bag in the duct and then use
an air compressor to blow the bag down the duct.

When it gets to the distant end, use the string to draw through a stronger
rope, and then use the rope to pull in the cables.
