project type

New Product

location

Heligoland, North Sea

Situation

  • The customer needed to feed multiple 117mm diameter cables along a specified route within a fabricated structure.

  • Challenge: Existing products couldn’t efficiently, safely, and cost-effectively install the cables due to twists and turns.

Solution

  • Ellis had previously developed a roller system for HV cable installation in power tunnels.

  • Ellis developed the first two-in-one cable guide and clamp solution.

Timeline:

  • Within six weeks: Siemens approved the new product design.

  • Two weeks later: Five working prototypes successfully passed installation trial in Germany.

  • Less than a month later: Ellis received the order and had the tooling ready for mass production.
