INTEGRATED WALKWAYS

Dual Purpose System

Often the need for a power feeder system coincides with the need for a maintenance walkway. Our engineers designed the Integrated Walkway to serve this role. We will work with your design team during every aspect of planning and engineering, resulting in an Integrated Walkway that perfectly meets your needs. These exclusive systems merge a high traction aluminum decking with an enclosure for electrical, gas, steam, or water lines.

Visual Appeal - All Aluminum Construction

Integrated walkway is a low maintenance system with a 99 year design lifetime. The aluminum construction will not rust, and there is no need to paint it as would be required with steel. The decking has a minimum bending radius of 400m to smoothly follow transit lines. The decking also covers all process lines to keep them fully out of sight.

System Safety

You can always rely on Integrated Walkway, even under extreme conditions. Seismic bracing and expansion joints are fundamental design features. All systems are fully grounded and bonded. Solid top covers are used in case of fire or flame over. And the decking tread grip has passed slip resistance tests with a rating of BPN 55.

Success Story

VANCOUVER’S CANADA LINE RAPID TRANSIT
The Canada Line is an automated rail-based transit service running from Downtown Vancouver with service to Vancouver International Airport. We designed and supplied approximately 19km of maintenance Integrated Walkways for the elevated and at-grade segments of the Canada Line Rapid Transit Project. This design not only minimized material costs but also was light, durable and simple to install, further reducing costs by drastically saving on labour.

TRENCHED CABLE TRAY SYSTEMS

Taking Power Underground

Superior Bus integrated with a precast concrete trench allows for efficient underground system installation. Trenched cable bus systems are ideal for outdoor projects in which vehicle traffic or road crossings would be impeded by above ground cable bus support structures. The system is durable and can be supplied in HS20 loading for a road crossing rated to 32,000 lbs/axle.

Quick Install - Safe and Cost Effective

Embedded support channels in the trench are supplied and allow for easy cable bus installation. Trench covers provide convenient access for future expansion.

SUPPORT SYSTEMS

QUICK DELIVERY

We know your clients have high expectations and tight deadlines. That’s why Econo Bus is a completely off-the-shelf cable support system, ready to ship at a moment’s notice. For small contractors, it’s the best way to make sure cable bus installations happen on schedule. Expedited delivery is available on our full catalogue of components.

Dry Seal System

Econo Bus Dry Seal can be used anywhere a water and dust tight seal is required. The components can be mixed and matched to suit your needs. And everything is available off the shelf with zero lead time.

Mount plates come in a wide range of sizes. They ship pre drilled and tapped. Seals and gaskets made of injection moulded rubber are available for all common cable diameters. There is no sealant required and no drying time.

Code Compliance

Meeting electrical code requirements is a must, and it has never been more straightforward than with Econo Bus. Short circuit bracing, proper phase arrangement, and adequate ventilation are all fundamental features of the design.

Made of a fire-rated material which is sunlight resistant, Econo Bus is suitable for installation in the toughest environments. Peace of mind for you, and your clients, all at a minimal cost.

Ease of Installation

Econo Bus is a simple and rapid method of supporting power cables. It can be wall mounted, installed in cable tray, and mounted directly to unistrut. Never strap down individual cables again. Econo bus is faster to install, and will not damage cable insulation in a short circuit event. Extra rows of cables can be stacked vertically, allowing for the possibility of future expansion. At the same time, Econo Bus is able to maintain the spacing requirements for free air ventilation.
