Elmeridge Cables Limited has shown once again how versatile, flexible and knowledgeable the team are, having completed yet another bespoke cable earlier than the customer had expected. On this occasion it was an aerostat cable for the Ministry of Defence (MOD) within the original lead time of eight weeks.
Elmeridge have continued to work in many market sectors producing a very wide range of special cables across many industries, including Marine & Offshore, CCTV Pipes & Drains, Crane & Lifts and Medium Voltage (MV) & High Voltage (HV) cables.
Marine & Offshore
Elmeridge have supplied many different bespoke cables for remotely operated vehicles (ROV’s), underwater cameras, tow cables, tether cables, and can supply diverse types of umbilical cables which include power, data and fibre optics. We can produce many of these cables with our special polyurethane tested to a depth of 6,000 metres. Our CTD cables have been successful in long lengths of up to 10 kilometres and with double armour.
CCTV Pipes & Drains
Pipes & Drains have been a feature of the Elmeridge product range since 1987, producing an extremely high standard of camera and pushrod cables for this high-profile sector. Elmeridge are the only company to have designed a glass reinforced plastic (GRP) rod in a way that it can be pushed further than any other pushrod cable on the market today without breaking. The team have recently produced a fibre optic cable for the use in long culverts under London of up to 5 Kilometres in length. Many of these cables are produced in Hytrel, polyurethane (PUR), and medium density/high-density polyethylene (MD/HDPE).
Cranes & Lifts
There are many different types of crane cables on the market today, and Elmeridge have supported and advised many companies within this sector to obtain the right cable for the intended application, extending the cable lifespan from between four and six weeks to almost twelve months, seeing significant savings for our customers.
Most of these cables are produced in Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR), Thermal Plastic Rubber (TPR) or Polyurethane (PUR). We have produced many different flat form cables for the lift sector in polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and now we are able to produce in silicone which is flame retardant and halogen-free.
MV & HV Cables
Elmeridge has been producing MV and HV cables since the early 1990’s, originally as the sole UK representative for Ericsson Power Cables of Sweden and have continued to produce these in many different voltages from 11KV and up to 132KV ever since. The team have recently started to produce 172KV with the possibility of further increases in the future.
We have been working with companies within the renewable energy sector for onshore and offshore cables using all the following compounds: HDPE, LDPE, MDPE, Polyethylene (PE) and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). Cores are produced in aluminium and copper depending on customer requirements.
We also work with civil and groundwork contractors both large and small and have been successful in obtaining work with 11KV and 33KV cables over many years.
In summary
Despite current pressures of rapidly rising material costs and availability, Elmeridge have adapted to the many worldwide issues. By working with a number of long-term partners, we are able achieve shorter lead times with competitive prices.
Elmeridge Cables Limited have been leaders in the production and distribution of custom-made cables since 1987, supplying a wide range of low, medium and high voltage special cables and stock items to a growing worldwide market.
