I WOULD obviously like to welcome you all to
2012 with a brighter and colourful EuroWire, and
to wish you all a happy and prosperous new year.
Two stories which stick out from this issue of
EuroWire are where companies have been faced
with very di ering challenges.
Firstly there is the case of Modular Wiring Systems
undertaking work at the Grade I Listed King’s Cross
Station in London, UK, (see page 9).
Not only did the company have to work to English
Heritage’s strict guidelines, the work had to be
undertaken at one of the world’s busiest stations
while it remained open.
Add to this a shortage of storage space for
materials on-site meaning that materials had to be
delivered and used almost immediately.
Everything would have to have been planned with
military precision andModularWiring Systems can
be justi ably proud of the achievements.
A littlemoremodern and easier for thework out for
the company, but Nexans has again been exing
its sponsorship muscle with the Louvre-Lens
project in France. (See page 20).
Nexans are providing the cables and work for
the project which basically sees the Louvre
transported using multimedia and displayed in
Lens.
This innovative project, scheduled for completion
by the end of the year, will see the French company
supply low and medium voltage power cables
and data transmission cables for the building and
surrounding land in a bid to preserve works of art.
A new year, new outlook and new challenges, all of
which I’m sure the wire
and cable industry is
well prepared for.
