Architectural practice, The Bazeley Partnership, was tasked by Cornwall County Council with designing a new IT department within the sixth form of Tretherras School in Newquay. The architects came up with a design that included curved cable containment wrapped around a central workstation - the focal point of the room.
When it came to sourcing a cable management system for the scheme, the county council's senior electrical engineer David Shuff turned to Marshall-Tufflex for advice on a solution that could cope with the curved external and internal bends, all at dado level.
Marshall-Tufflex recommended its multi-compartment PVC-U perimeter cable management system, Sterling Profile 1, of which 40 metres was pre-curved to order.
Mr Shuff said: "With the nature of this circular design, the trunking was a key element. Only Sterling could give us scope to achieve the architect's vision, and the end result has met everyone's expectations."
Cat 6 compliant Sterling offers a wide choice of profile configurations to provide design scope and flexibility, enabling wiring alterations and additions to be accommodated with ease. It is compatible with the MT Sterling Busbar system and can be conductive spray-coated to comply with the EMC Directive.
