US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) required an upgrade to the Fort Randall Dam cable systems so that they could accommodate the thermodynamic movement of the cables.

USACE and Interstate Electrical Contractors Inc. had no prior experience of managing something like this so sought assistance from Ellis.

Additional challenge: Limited space for installing 12 cables on the existing framework. Standard cable cleats were not an option.

Ellis developed a custom version of the Centaur Cable Saddle with a 68-73mm cable range.

Anchor Clamps were also designed to secure cables along the multiple bends and risers on the route.

The Centaur Roller System was provided to aid installation.
