Cable System Replacement Project
The client approached Ellis Patents for an upgrade to the cable systems at the USACE operated Fort Randall Dam, requiring a flexible system to be designed to cope with thermodynamic movement of the cables.
With no prior experience of such systems, USACE & Interstate Electrical Contractors Inc. contacted Ellis for assistance. The requirement was to install 12 cables onto an existing support framework which left limited space for installation

Ellis Patents Solution
The cables could not be mounted in a rigid system using standard cable cleats, so Ellis developed a custom made variation of the Centaur Cable Saddle with a cable range of 68-73mm. With several bends and risers along the route, they also developed Anchor Clamps to secure the run and provided the Centaur Roller System to assist with installation.
