This is true, but it might be more of a sales pitch. There are lots of manufacturers of cable joints so they were probably demonstrating how there joints are done. Compared to say a raychem, sicame or tyco joint. Someone might see this and say that's quicker than the joints they use. Or it might be a training video for apprentices.
Oh god , this takes me back to watching AEP safety videos , those guys are always working in a perfectly dug out ditch with no mud or water , rubber blankets everywhere with plenty of wipes , 🤭😂🤣😂 that never happened for me at any point in my career. Still kept the power on for people tho 👍🏾 , people are always happy to see the power guy as long as he is there to turn you back On and not Off .
Try doing it without all those special tools, just a utility knife and a tape measure. We were replacing a five kv line at a veterans hospital that shorted out, we worked about 30 hours strait, half of it in the rain, I made up one end, another guy made up the other end in a vault underground, I guess he was too tired, we turned it on, and it blew the man hole cover about 50' in the air, so I had to do his splice all over, it held the next time we turned it on, that was a bitch.
This is really nice work. Too bad no one spends the time to do this. My first boss fired me the first day. He said I did really great work, and that he never needed to worry if my connection would hold. He said he never needed to worry about the inspector finding something wrong with my work But he told me he would be out of business if he kept people like me. I took way to long, because I did all the steps and did it right. He had guys that just used butt connectors from home Depot and some 99 cent electric tape True story

If your boss was a high-voltage lines contractor and fired you for the reasons you mention, he should have his license revoked. I imagine his luck was holding up around the time he fired you and had not killed anyone yet from negligence.

+Voima More importantly, did you use cable elevators to elevate the cables off the ground as not to cause interference and static buildup? Did you break in your wires for 96 hours? Are you using oxygen free copper? lol
Obviously this will be a lot different when you're doing it on the field. you will want to make sure you have all the correct heat shrinks on before you make the first Connection.
I was a 52E in the Army and doing this was part of the duty description. This is slow, tedious work and made even worse, far worse in the field. Great video guys! 🤙

Why is the copper screening braid double-layered over half the joint, then open-wound over the remainder? Did they run out of braid half way through the job?
nlo114 Hi, no nothing ran out. The mesh is to pick up surface current and as long as its in contact with the insulation/conductive tubes, the semi-con layer on the cores and back to earth, that is all that is needed. Has been tested too so we know its fine.
After seeing this I wont be able to help thinking of industrial scale cable joining, wrapping every time I solder and shrink wrap a few small electrical wires. A simple 2 minute job compared to a critical 20 minute large scale job :)
+Toby Sinclair-Bell Good call on the yellow flame, the red mastic should not protrude beyond the first shrinks, it needs a wad of red mastic between the three conductors at each end and the gray silicone tape is not for a pressure seal between layers it's for gap filling, so the last lap seal needs to be the red mastic, and how did he run out of the aluminum gauze and not finish the half lap covering? Oops

It's already over engineered by the insurance company... Because writing up new SOP's out of blood, tends to cause more issues than doing it right the first time.
