Cable tray
Supported routes for grouped cables in appropriate environments.
Durable cable routes
Containment and SWA cabling in London
Tray, trunking, conduit and armoured-cable installations for suitable commercial, outdoor and light industrial cable routes.
Service overview
Good containment protects cables and makes future work easier.
Containment should suit cable quantity, environment, support spacing, expansion, segregation and future maintenance. The shortest route is not always the best route.
SWA cable can provide durable mechanical protection for many external and industrial applications, but cable size, glands, earthing, bending radius and route remain part of the design.
Bastian Electrical can install suitable smaller containment and armoured-cable projects with routes and supports agreed before work begins.
Groundwork, fire stopping, structural supports and high-level access must be assigned clearly. They are not assumed merely because a cable route is shown.

Questions about this service
What is SWA cable used for?
It is commonly used where robust mechanical protection is needed, subject to the circuit design and environment.
Can SWA be buried directly?
The route, depth, warning, ground conditions and additional protection must be assessed. Groundwork requirements should be agreed.
Do you install galvanised containment?
Suitable tray, trunking and conduit options can be quoted based on environment and specification.
Who provides fire stopping?
This must be stated in the scope. It may be coordinated with a competent specialist where required.
Can you extend existing containment?
Often, after checking condition, capacity, support and compatibility.
Do you label cables?
Labelling can be included and is recommended where it supports safe future maintenance.
