Scope
Machine shop and workshop power across a working broadcast site. Heritage brick interior, high-level steelwork and limited room for chasing, so the install runs almost entirely surface-mounted, with containment doing most of the visible work.
Approach
First-fix slotted in around the rest of the trades on site. SWA submain feed pulled in from the main supply; galvanised cable tray and conduit installed at high level; perimeter trunking dressed around the workshop floor. Distribution board sized for the small-power load and labelled circuit-by-circuit.
Where the brick walls ruled out chases, we ran surface conduit cleanly along the joint lines so the runs read deliberate, not improvised. Final connections and second fix were timed so the workshop could come back into use as quickly as possible.
Outcome
A clean install with every containment route accounted for, every circuit labelled and the full test pack handed over at completion. Small power and lighting available across the workshop, and a paper trail that lives on the facility's record.
Key elements
- SWA submain feed from the main supply
- Galvanised cable tray and conduit at high level
- Perimeter trunking around the workshop floor
- Wall-mounted distribution board with glazed door, RCBO protected
- Full test, inspection and certification at sign-off
