Case studies
Birmingham University
Product:
Sterling Profile 3003 aluminium – matt black
Marshall-Tufflex has supplied BirminghamUniversity’s School
of Physics and Astronomy with an unusual trunking for the
laboratories housing a study into the behaviour of cold atoms.
To aid the study into quantum phenomena by exploiting cold
atom gases as a unique window into the quantumworld, the
laboratory is fitted out with matt black trunking. This acts as a
safety measure because the work utilises high powered lasers.
Should a laser beam escape, a matt black trunking will absorb
the light.
The aluminium Sterling Profile 3003 feeds power and data
at dado height around the laboratories and has also been
installed on overhead canopies sited above work benches.

Product:
MT32 and specially curved Odyssey trunking
“We compared plug and play systems but
liked the fact that MT32 is extremely neat
and provides significant installation time
reductions. Odyssey appealed because it is
CAT 6 compliant, easy to install and because
it is the most aesthetically pleasing of the
containment systems we have looked at – and
we have looked at quite a few! The client is
happy with it and we are happy with it. As a
result of the effectiveness of both systems, we
are taking them through other schools within
the BSF initiative.”

Marshall-Tufflex provided an MT32
prefabricated modular perimeter
wiring system and Cat 6 compliant
Odyssey trunking in specially curved
lengths to allow for fixing to the
corresponding architecturally
curved walls of the library building.
MT32 and Odyssey trunking provided
economic and fast-fit installations at
St Aloysius College, Highgate, one of
eight secondary schools to undergo
complete rebuilding or substantial
refurbishment within Islington’s
Building Schools for the Future (BSF)
initiative.
