Elis Patents – H50
Ellis Patents, the world’s leading designer and manufacturer of safety critical cable cleating systems, will be showing two different types of tunnel walls and the cleat installations for them.
Products included on the stand will be large cleats including Cable Guide Clamp, Centaur, and bespoke Centaur trefoil cleat.
Cable hangers will also be on show, including the Pegasus hanger, which is London Underground-approved. The hanger material is a high strength nylon especially formulated to meet the requirements of the London Underground 1-085 specification. The extruded aluminium spine is marine grade and is designed to offer high strength and rigidity. Resistance to ‘self-corrosion’ and ‘bi-metallic corrosion’ are considered in the design and the non-metallic nature of the materials ensures that corrosion would not occur even in the harshest of environments.
The company’s latest product, the ‘No Bolts Cleat’, was designed specifically for Network Rail and has recently being given PADS approval.

Freyssinet – E75
Freyssinet has been at the forefront of specialised civil engineering technology, consultancy and installation since 1950. Specialising in repairs, the company is renowned for delivering innovative solutions and pushing the envelope of structural and civil engineering.
Operating as principle contractor, specialist subcontractor and supplier throughout the UK and Ireland, Freyssinet supports its full product and service range with an in-house engineering design team.
ElevArch® is a patented technique which involves cutting a brick bridge arch free from its abutments and wing walls so it can be jacked skywards to enlarge the space below it. A horizontal saw cut is made through each abutment, and vertical lifting jacks are inserted, supporting the weight of the bridge.
Meanwhile, four vertical slip bearings are inserted into slots cored through the four wing walls, preventing the arch from spreading horizontally whilst allowing vertical movement. Once these are in place, the final cuts are made and lifting can begin.
Fugro – A19
Fugro will feature its range of RailData solutions on stand A19, including its revolutionary RILA 3.0 system – a remote, flexible, train-mounted survey system that achieves engineering-accuracy data on the rail corridor. It delivers step changes in asset management and leads the way in predictive maintenance.
With RILA 3.0 Fugro has integrated the RILA Track and RILA 360 systems within a single, compact, autonomous measurement module. The new system (RILA 3.0) can be easily mounted to any (passenger) train in the world. It delivers the same accuracy and full package of data products as earlier systems but in a combined form.
The end result is an accurate, absolute XYZ model of all the objects in and around the track, including overhead line equipment (OLE).
The technology also offers a clearly defined health and safety benefit, as no surveyors are required to be on or near the tracks during survey acquisition.
