Unitrunk updates CIBSE CPD

Cable-management specialist Unitrunk has updated and revised its CIBSE-accredited CPD presentation. It introduces fresh insights for consultants, contractors and specifiers as diverse as compliance, testing, value engineering and BIM.

Unitrunk has long been active in educating the marketplace on the importance of selecting the right cable-management finish and loading capabilities since the company first gained CIBSE approval for its CPD in 2012.

Additions to the CPD for 2017 include a full outline of the various standards and compliance requirements for different types of cable management and the mandatory testing required for cable tray and cable ladder for it to be CE marked.

There is guidance on how different installation methods can help to reduce the number of brackets and amount of materials used.

The section on BIM provides real-life examples of how Unitrunk’s work with consultants and contractors on BIM schemes is helping to improve design, installation and lifecycles.
