  • Are cable trays troughs considered concealed works

    Are cable trays troughs considered concealed works

    Several types of tray are used in different applications. A solid-bottom tray provides the maximum protection to cables, but requires cutting the tray or using fittings to enter or exit cables. A deep, solid enclosure for cables is called a cable channel or cable trough. A ventilated tray has openings in the bottom of the tray, allowing some air circulation around the cables, water drainage, and allowing some dust to fall through the tray. Small cables may exit the tray throug.

  • How to touch up the paint on galvanized cable trays

    How to touch up the paint on galvanized cable trays

    Thoroughly wire-brush the affected areas and apply several coats of zinc-rich primer (min. 90% zinc content) to give a coating thickness at least equivalent to the original galvanizing. Many of these paints deposit zinc at about 150g/m/coat; This will usually give a dull coating. The touch-up and repair of hot-dip galvanized steel coatings is important to maintain uniform barrier and cathodic protection as well as ensure longevity. Although the hot-dip galvanized coating is very resistant to damage, small voids or defects in the coating can occur during the galvanizing. Galvanized touch-up paint is a specialized, zinc-rich compound formulated to restore the corrosion resistance of damaged hot-dip galvanized steel surfaces.
