Why you should read this case study
When the company Installation Technology secured the contract to implement cellular connectivity throughout underground sections of the London Underground, it turned to HellermannTyton. It required a lightweight and robust solution that could be retrofitted to the curved tunnel wall, and was sufficiently strong to hold the weight of the cable along the entire length of the tunnel wall. It had to meet all standards for railways.
Headed by a dedicated project manager and design engineer, the HellermannTyton team engaged with the multiple stakeholders and developed an easy fit and release Ratchet P Clamp. The design allowed fast installation, and more cable to be carried and installed on each shift. And of course the new design met all approval requirements for use in the harsh environment of the rail industry.
