First-fix containment, SWA cable pulls and small-power distribution across the BBC Elstree machine shop and workshop spaces.
Aaron and the team handled the electrical install for the machine shop and adjoining workshop areas at BBC Elstree, the cable management, distribution and small power needed to support production-engineering work, with the install dressed cleanly against the heritage brick fabric.
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.
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.
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.
Industrial fit-outs run cleaner when the containment and distribution are designed in early. Send drawings or a sketch and we'll come back with a project quote inside the week.
