Ellis Patents Cable Cleats: Holding Power for Major Projects

More than 30,000 Vulcan Cable Cleats and Flexistraps shipped out today under the Yorkshire sun.

The cable cleats will provide short-circuit restraint for 11kV and 33kV Medium Voltage Cable Networks.

This project highlights the value of strong, proactive relationships between manufacturers and distributors. We look forward to working together on a case study that showcases how our collaboration has helped meet the client’s specification and technical application requirements.

The consignment will be delivered to SEB International Ltd, the UK’s leading manufacturer of Cable Pulling & Laying Equipment.

SEB International will consolidate the shipment with the following equipment to support an accelerated cable-laying process:

CD500S Cable Drum Trailer – 20,000kg payload and 2,400mm maximum drum width
TW5000 Cable Pulling Winch
CP700 Cable Pushing Unit

The £750K project value to Thorne & Derrick demonstrates our ability to manage and deliver major UK and international projects through our established supply chain.

The project also includes a range of high-voltage and medium-voltage cable accessories:

132kV High Voltage Cables: Connected to the grid using GIS Dry-Type Terminations from Nexans.
33kV and 11kV Medium Voltage Switchgear and Transformer Connections: Completed using Euromold and Connex products from Nexans Power Accessories and Pfisterer.

Thorne & Derrick supplied all cable cleats and cable accessories. Gary Amos, Thorne & Derrick Sales Engineer, managed the purchase contract.
