PVC–U Perimeter trunking systems
Case Study 2
For:
Old Swinford Hospital School,
in Stourbridge
Product:
Odyssey trunking with Part M boxes
Case Study 1
For:
Capgemini Office Building
Product:
MT32 prefabricated wiring with
Odyssey trunking
With an extremely tight timescale in place and
the requirement for minimum disruption in
completing the reconfiguration of services
for Capgemini’s South Bank offices, building
services consultants Couch, Perry &Wilkes
specified Marshall-Tufflex’s all-curved Odyssey
trunking along with their MT32 prefabricated
wiring system.
MT32 is supplied pre-wired and tested for simple
plug and play connection within trunking on site.
For Capgemini, Odyssey trunking is also specified to
carry Cat 6 cabling and its unique colour contrasting
back boxes are installed to meet the requirements
of Part M (DDA).
“Using MT32 significantly reduced time spent on
the second fix installation, perhaps by as much
as one week on each of the four floors being
refurbished, helping the contractor to complete
each section of the works within the constraints
of a very tight programme.
“We like the versatility it offers and, being a modular
system, it lends itself very favourably to the high
density of outlets and simplifies the electrical wiring
of the power distribution system. Odyssey’s curved
profile also reflects the curvature of the building itself.”
Couch, Perry & Wilkes
At Old Swinford Hospital School in
Stourbridge, blue accessory boxes are installed
into Marshall-Tufflex’s Odyssey trunking
system as part of the refurbishment of student
study and accommodation blocks, delivering
both a smart look and satisfying requirements
of Part M of the Building Regulations for
assisting people with visual impairment.
“If we hadn’t used Odyssey we would have been
faced with the considerable extra cost of
installing different coloured accessory plates.
“Odyssey's curved profile gives it a smart,
contemporary appearance. From a practical
perspective it is easy to clean, has in-built cable
trays and is, above all, secure. The system has
worked really well – in fact it is the best trunking
I have ever worked with.”
