Marshall-Tuffl ex delivers robust cable management solution for hospital
Marshall-Tuffl ex’s MT Supertube and Wire Basket will ensure an effi cient, compliant and durable cable management system at Luton & Dunstable University Hospital.
I
nstalled by electrical engineering contractor Meckel as part of the site’s £105m major redevelopment works, the products were crucial in meeting the stringent requirements of the hospital environment, contributing to the success of this signifi cant healthcare development.
The substantial project involves constructing a new clinical building to improve maternity, neonatal, theatres and critical care services. The fi ve- storey acute services and ward blocks will house modern and enhanced facilities, including a delivery suite, midwifery-led birthing and neonatal intensive care units with parent accommodation, ambulatory surgery, theatre suites and a critical care unit with bespoke accommodation for relatives. Working in collaboration with Kier Mechanical Electrical Division (KME), Meckel approached Marshall-Tuffl ex to discuss the project’s cable containment requirements and the suitability of MT Supertube and Wire Basket solutions. After
confi rming that these products met the specifi c needs of the hospital’s environment, Meckel has used MT Supertube and Wire Basket extensively throughout the project.
MT Supertube is a unique, three-layer heavy gauge conduit comprising polyethylene internal and external layers over a continuous aluminium tube that provides additional mechanical strength. It was chosen for its LS0H properties and excellent electromagnetic interference (EMI) screening performance – all of which are essential for ensuring continued, issue-free performance in a healthcare setting.
“MT Supertube with EMC fi ttings was chosen for the ELV services as it provides a fully compliant solution,” explains Mark Turnbull, Director, Meckel. “It also has the further benefi t of being supplied in coils which means it’s easy to move around the site and the amount of wastage from off -cuts is kept to a minimum.”
The Wire Basket for cable routing is Meckel’s
preferred product and is being installed in several other healthcare projects. It is made from steel with an electro-zinc fi nish and off ers a unique rippled design that enhances strength while remaining lightweight. Importantly, Wire Basket is very quick to install, thanks to integral ‘quick-fi t’ connectors. It also provides easy cable threading, high load capacity, resistance to fl exing, and an excellent aesthetic fi nish.
