Power distribution units
The ‘bays’ are installed above ceiling height and constructed
froma combination of Marshall-Tufflex’s PVC-UMaxi Trunking
andMono 10 with specialised Cee-Norm sockets. The
complexity of the vast amounts of circuitry has necessitated
the building of extra large containment units with the
necessary headroom– some as much as 18metres long
with a 150mmx 150mmhigh containment capacity. A large
number of sockets and cables in relatively short spaces have
also been addressed by this cablemanagement solution.
The BBC’smassive project of redevelopment to Broadcasting House in
central London houses 5,000 people, delivering news nationally and
globally as well as national radio andmusic services, creating one of
the largest live newsrooms in theworld and using the
latest broadcast technology.
The project utilises Marshall-Tufflex’s MT32 prefabricatedwiring system, eliminating
hard-wiring on site and permittingmuch faster installation times. It is delivered to site in
cablemanagement ‘bays’ complete with pre-wired cable sets markedwith circuitry and
ready to feed into distribution boards.
The system is installed into the initial fit-out of the Central Apparatus Area and Local
Apparatus Rooms throughout the new 12-storey building, including three basement levels.

“We met what was a complex and
very quick programme on time.
The standard of Marshall-Tufflex’s
pre-manufactured units was good
and helped us to reach timescales
when under pressure.”
