With BBC’s new building in White City, West London, comes major investment in new channels – for the cabling at least. Metstrut, the cable management division of Metsec, has won an £80 000 contract to supply cable ladder and channel sections for the building.

The firm is supplying electrical distributor RMS with a system of 125 mm-deep cable ladder in a range of widths, plus cut-to-length channel sections and all the bracketry needed for prefabrication into risers. These will carry heavy-duty armoured cabling around the building. Deliveries will be phased over eight months to suit the construction programme.

The main contractor on the scheme is Bovis Lend Lease, T Clarke is the m&e contractor.
