Capabilities

Every type of containment your installation requires.

From surface trunking in offices to steel conduit in warehouses, we specify and install the right containment for every environment, ensuring cables are protected, organised, and accessible.

Surface Cable Trunking

PVC and metal trunking installed along walls, skirting, and ceilings to route cables neatly in occupied offices. Colour-matched to your interior where required. Sized correctly for the number of cables being routed.

Cable Tray and Basket Tray

Perforated cable tray and wire basket tray installed above suspended ceilings and in plant rooms for routing large numbers of cables. Properly supported and earthed. Separate trays for power and data where required.

Conduit Installation

Steel and plastic conduit installed in walls, floors, and ceilings for cable protection in high-risk areas. Draw wires left in place for future cable pulls. Suitable for industrial, warehouse, and external environments.

Rack and Cabinet Cable Management

Horizontal and vertical cable management panels installed in network racks and cabinets. Patch leads dressed and managed to prevent airflow obstruction. Velcro ties used throughout for easy future changes.

Under-Floor Containment

Under-floor cable routes installed in raised floor environments. Cables routed in containment to prevent damage and maintain organisation. Suitable for data centres, trading floors, and large open-plan offices.

Fire Stopping and Compliance

All cable penetrations through fire-rated walls and floors fire stopped to the appropriate standard. Intumescent products used and documented. Compliance with Building Regulations Part B maintained throughout.

How It Works

From route survey to signed-off containment installation.

01

Survey and Route Planning

We survey your premises and plan cable routes, identifying the most appropriate containment type for each section. Ceiling voids, wall routes, and floor routes all assessed. Containment sized for current and future cable volumes.

02

Containment Installation

Cable tray, trunking, and conduit installed along planned routes. Properly supported at the correct intervals. Earthed where required. Fire stopping materials installed at all penetrations through fire-rated structures.

03

Cable Installation

Cables pulled through containment with appropriate bend radius protection. Cables supported and managed throughout. No cables left loose, unsupported, or outside containment.

04

Rack and Cabinet Dressing

Cables dressed into racks and cabinets using horizontal and vertical cable management. Patch leads cut to length and dressed neatly. Velcro ties used throughout. Airflow maintained.

05

Labelling and Documentation

All containment routes documented on as-built drawings. Cable routes identified and labelled at key points. Fire stopping locations recorded. Documentation handed over at project completion.

06

Inspection and Sign-Off

Installation inspected against the design before handover. Any defects identified and resolved. Fire stopping inspected and signed off. Customer walkthrough completed before final sign-off.

Real Results

How we have helped UK businesses with cable containment.

Open-Plan Office Fit-Out

A Newcastle professional services firm was fitting out a new open-plan office and needed cable containment installed that would look professional, be accessible for future changes, and comply with fire regulations.

Skirting trunking installed throughout the open-plan area. Above-ceiling cable tray installed for backbone routes. All fire penetrations fire stopped and documented. Professional finish achieved. Future cable changes straightforward.

Industrial Warehouse Cabling

A Coventry logistics company needed network cabling installed throughout a large warehouse. The environment required robust containment to protect cables from forklift damage and the harsh industrial environment.

Steel conduit installed throughout the warehouse for cable protection. Cable tray used for overhead routes. All cables protected from mechanical damage. Network operational throughout the warehouse. Full documentation provided.

Data Centre Cable Management Overhaul

A Birmingham data centre had accumulated years of unmanaged cabling. Airflow was obstructed, fault finding was difficult, and the risk of accidental cable disconnection during maintenance was high.

All existing cabling removed and replaced with structured containment and managed cabling. Horizontal and vertical cable management installed in every rack. Airflow restored. Fault finding time reduced significantly.
