FAST FIX FOR INSTALLERS AT ‘HARBOURSIDE’ DEVELOPMENT

Marco, the UK’s largest manufacturer of Steel Wire Cable Tray, and uPVC Cable Management Company has boosted installation times at a key scheme in Bristol’s prestigious ‘Harbourside’ development through the use of its innovative, Fast Fix Universal Strut Clip.

Electrical contractors, Whitehead Building Services, have installed thousands of metres of Marco’s Steel Wire Cable Tray (of varied widths), utilising the Fast Fix Universal Strut Clip across the installation at a new office scheme in the commercial district of the development.

Steve Davis, Business Development Manager at Marco Cable Management said: “Rather than use the traditional method of nut, bolt plate and zebedee, which is fiddly and labour intensive, the Fast Fix Universal Strut Clip can be fastened and secured within seconds. A simple, strong and effective solution, the use of the new Marco Strut Clip can reduce time spent on site significantly.”

Hywel Morton, Project Manager at Whitehead Building Services said: “The Fast Fix Universal Strut Clip is a brilliant innovation that is new to us – it has saved a massive amount of time and sped up the installation process significantly. We will definitely be using this again on future projects.”

A large local finance company will re-locate its office to the new facility, centralising its operation and expanding its growing business. Positioned on Canons Marsh, ‘Harbourside’ is an ongoing development scheme that includes a mix of residential and commercial facilities ranging from apartments, bars and restaurants to leisure facilities and office space.
