Default Feeding Long wires through Conduit


wrote in message
ups.com...
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.

The way we used to do it was to use a compressor ( road breaker type ) to
blow air down the duct and feed 8mm polyprop rope in till it came out the
other, very easy and very quick.
