Situation

• Ellis were approached by a company who supply joints and protective housings to repair offshore subsea cables.
• The company had a design for the outer housing and the joint but required a solution for supporting the cable within the housing.

 

Solution

• Detailed CAD models of the enclosure were provided to Ellis’s Technical Team.
• The CAD models included information about the available space and fixing points.
• A design was developed for the enclosure, utilising a combination of standard products and a new bespoke design.
• To validate the design, a combination of hand calculations and finite element analysis (FEA) was employed.
• Detailed design drawings were created based on the validated design and manufactured fully on site at Ellis.
