Situation

The expansion of King Abdulaziz International Airport aimed to create a world-class transportation hub capable of handling up to 80 million passengers annually. This massive increase from the previous capacity of 13 million required significant infrastructure development, including reliable cable management solutions that could withstand the demanding conditions of a major international airport.

Solution

Ellis supplied its Emperor Cable Cleats, designed for applications requiring the highest levels of short circuit withstand. Manufactured from type 316L stainless steel, these cleats provide exceptional corrosion protection, ideal for the challenging climate in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

The Emperor Cable Cleats offer additional benefits, including:

• A patented design ensuring quick and easy installation.

• An integral LSF zero halogen polymeric liner and base pad, which cushions and protects cables during short circuit conditions.

By implementing Ellis’ Emperor Cable Cleats, the airport's electrical infrastructure was safeguarded, ensuring a secure and efficient power distribution system capable of supporting the airport's ambitious expansion plans.
