Structured wiring saves time for school
Wieland’s Metalynx structured wiring systems have helped to deliver significant time-savings in the installation of lighting and small power at the new Holland Park School in West London.
Selected by Shepherd Engineering Services, the Wieland structured wiring system comprises Metalynx Main Distribution Boxes (MDBs) connected to all lighting control modules and small power. Secondary cabling uses Wieland’s gesis system, which combined power and DALI control cabling.
With over 2,500 fittings to be connected the speed of connection was a vital element in optimising the contractor’s time on site and making maximum use of skilled operatives. Experience on many projects has shown that time-savings from using structured wiring systems are typically in the region of 70% when compared to traditional connection methods.
