STEEL TRUNKING SYSTEMS
Steel trunking systems
Introduction
| 185
Environmental
• Steel is very friendly to the
environment.
• Compared to other
materials it requires
relatively low amounts of
energy to produce.
• The steel industry has
made immense efforts to
limit environmental
pollution in the last
decades.
• Energy consumption and
carbon dioxide emissions
have decreased by half of
what they were in the
1960s.
• Dust emissions have been
reduced by even more.
Recycling
and sustainability
• 100% recyclable material.
• Can be recycled many
times without loss of quality.
• The steel industry has
been recycling for more
than 150 years.
• Recycling one ton of steel
saves 1,100 kilos of iron
ore, 630 kilos of coal and
55 kilos of limestone.
• Structural steel typically
contains around 95%
recycled steel content.
• Recycling facilities are well
established.
EMI protection
(Electromagnetic interference)
• Steel naturally has very
strong EMI properties.
Fire performance
• Steel trunking systems
meet accepted
requirements for LSOH.
• Withstands high
temperatures with a
melting point of
approximately1370°C
(2500°F).
• Type and thickness of any
coating needs to be
considered as this can
affect fire performance.
