Cold roll-formed steel specialist, voestalpine Metsec plc, has supported the construction of newly developed office space, 5 Broadgate in London through providing crucial cable management solutions.
The development is due to open in 2016 as office space for a global financial services company. Located in the heart of central London within close proximity of Liverpool Street Station, 5 Broadgate will boast 12-storeys of office space within its striking architectural design. Metsec was required to provide made to order cable containment, which were not simply stock designs to Marcoe Electrical, the electrical contractor.
While robust cable management is crucial within all modern office space, this was further amplified at 5 Broadgate due to a need for strong performing ventilation to prevent overheating equipment within the office. Having been involved at the beginning of planning stages through the provision of technical submissions, Metsec had the project knowledge and industry expertise to seamlessly step in and provide assurances to Marcoe Electrical, the electrical contractor on the project. 5 Broadgate has achieved a BREEAM Excellent rating, meaning that sustainability is also a must within the project, and Metsec’s BES 6001 accreditation, covering responsible sourcing of products, ensures that this is achievable.
Metsec’s cable ladders and trays come in a wide range of sizes and load capacities, giving maximum flexibility to designers. They are also quick and easy to install, with simple connections between sections. The cable trunking is equally simple to install. Designed as complete systems, sections have integral connectors for all fittings as well as fixing bolts.
