Marshall-Tufflex’s range of Basor metal cable management has been utilised extensively for the refurbishment of Lincolnshire County Council’s Orchard House.
Specialist electrical contractor Brook & Mayo required a robust solution that was competitively priced and, importantly, could be supplied in line with the short project timescales.
The newly opened Orchard House in the centre of Lincoln includes both the city’s new, larger registry office and office accommodation for Lincolnshire County Council staff. Before Orchard House could fulfil this role, the council needed to undertake a refurbishment of the building. A key part of this was installing new cabling to ensure the five floors of 600 sq m office space had the power and data connections required, as well as connections for fire alarms and emergency lighting throughout the building.
Brook & Mayo, which received the contract to carry out the electrical installation, looked at the cable management options available. The cables specified included standard Twin and Earth low smoke and fire (LSF) cable, fire resistant cables for the alarms and lighting, CAT6 data cables and Steel Wire Armoured (SWA) submain cable. Therefore, it needed different cable management products to suit the various cables, including heavy duty solutions that could handle the weight of armoured cable. Working with electrical wholesaler LEW in Lincoln, the Brook & Mayo team selected Basor metal cable tray, both medium and heavy duty, and Basor fast fit wire basket. Basor products are exclusively supplied in the UK by leading cable management specialist Marshall-Tufflex.
The Basor metal cable tray, ideal for commercial and industrial applications, features a fast-coupling design that allows the sections to be simply bolted together with no need for separate couplers, saving significant time across an installation.
