The Objective

• Rollout of various machines, lighting and power through a large and empty factory
• Allow for regular changes without the need for an electrician on site
• Turnaround of less than 6 weeks.

The challenge at hand? To orchestrate the seamless rollout of various machines, lighting, and power throughout a sprawling, vacant factory space for NDT Supplies – all while ensuring the capacity to accommodate regular changes without the need for an on-site electrician. After some market research and clever design we achieved this goal and did so within an astonishing turnaround time of fewer than six weeks, setting a benchmark for agile and responsive factory operations.

The Solution

We have carried out many projects over the years that would be classed as ‘permanent fixtures’. The client advised us that they would be regularly re-arranging the factory to suit their project needs and deemed it cost ineffective to either employ a full-time electrician and/or pay contractors on a regular basis to come and alter the installation to suit the new layout.

We found a manufacturer that would solve the problem using a busbar trunking system. They are called Zucchini.
This was a long lasting, versatile and easy to install system that uses components called ‘Tap-offs’ that use a plug and play method.
The main busbar system is a metallic fully enclosed horizontal rail, mounted around 1.5m from the ground and has a large power supply coming into it.

This then has socket type connections at various points of the rail where you can simply plug in a fused ‘Tap-off’ plug that has a machine or appliance connected to it at any point along the length. This allows frequent movement of machinery without touching any actual wiring.
