Hong Kong partnership
125,000 cable clamps manufactured in Yorkshire by Ellis are currently being installed on a high speed extension of the Hong Kong MTR network.
The Hong Kong section of the Express Rail Link (XRL) runs from West Kowloon to the Shenzhen / HK Boundary, where it connects with the China Mainland section of the network, and when complete will see trains operating at a maximum speed of 200km per hour – cutting journey times by an average of 50%.
Ellis’ one and two hole polymeric cable clamps were specified by CLP Power through local distributor, Wang Yip Hong and are being used to secure power, pilot and fibre optic cables throughout all the tunnels.
Tony Conroy, Ellis’ export sales director, said: “CLP is the biggest power utility company in Hong Kong and we are its sole supplier of cable cleats and clamps – a relationship that speaks volumes for the work done by the team at Wang Yip Hong and why we put so much faith in local distributors when it comes to exporting.”
