Legrand scores with the Seagulls

Legrand, Salamandre, electrical trunking
All the cable-management requirements of Brighton & Hove Albion’s new stadium have been met with equipment from Legrand.

Having won the contract for distribution board trunking assemblies for Brighton & Hove Albion’s, known as the Seagulls, new 22 500-capacity American Express Community Stadium, the Legrand team then secured the order for Swifts cable ladder and tray, Salamandre trunking and Swiftrack channel support. The initial order for the trunking assemblies was won on the basis of significant reductions in installation time.

Fitted around distribution boards before they are installed on site, the solution enables the board to be pre-wired internally, a prefabricated process that takes a day compared to three or four days on site.

The equipment was specified by NG Bailey in two separate orders.

David Oatt, senior contracts manager with NG Bailey, said, There is no argument that Legrand can deliver solutions for any element of a cable-management installation. The fact that they combine such a comprehensive product offering with so many innovative and time-saving solutions — such as the trunking assemblies used on this project — means that they are very difficult to overlook when it comes to cable-management specification.’
