New meets old as Modular
wiring keeps everything
on track
▲ ▲ Modular Wiring Systems – helping to upgrade King’s Cross Station’s power and lighting system
Modular Wiring Systems, a subsid-
iary of electrical cable manufacturer
Tratos Ltd, has designed, manufac-
tured and supplied modular power
and lighting distribution systems
for King’s Cross Station in London, a
Grade I listed building.
Working to English Heritage’s strict
guidelines toprotect the stationbuild-
ing whilst also transforming it into a
world class transport hub, Modular
designed the distribution systems to
run mainly underfloor through key
parts of the Western Range. Such
restrictions require exceptional sys-
tem flexibility, which was found in
Modular Wiring Systems’ products
and design process.
Logistics was also an important factor
in this prestigious installation due to
limited on-site storage, requiring on-
site delivery of materials. This is made
possible by the offsite pre-fabrication
of the system, including pre-wired
distribution boards, which can then
be stored and delivered to site at the
exact time and date specified by the
client.
Other benefits of a modular wiring
system are quick installation with
reduced labour requirements, whilst
actually improving the quality of the
finished system as potential risks
posed by on-site conditions are elimi-
nated.
