Access Granted

A key aspect of the £25 million pound design and build project was to provide improved access for cable & communication service's, a vital median for transporting the latest news and images around the globe. To cover such a sporting event, literally thousands of feet of fibre optics and cables are required and with expected gate volumes of over 450,000, logistically the two would not coincide without incident and prior planning. The opted solution of burying the cables below ground ticks most boxes but unfortunately this does not consider the T.V. and Telecommunication companies who have to manually install and remove their cables and optics needing continuous access. By utilising the wealth and experience of Peter Savage Limited who have been providing access solutions for over 30 years, Galliford Try answered this need by specifying the Peter Savage 6900 series continuous duct system. This access system has been developed to span and conceal service channels whilst providing easy un-obstructed access.

 

The Peter Savage 6900 access system is designed and manufactured to suit site specific layouts and can feature any number of T-junctions, intersections, 90 degree turns and non-standard angle turns. This dynamic approach required Peter Savage Limited to visit Wimbledon to execute site takeoffs & provide technical information for input into their computer assisted design and solid modelling software. Peter Savage Limited generated scaled general assembly and technical drawings to sub-contractor Byrne Bros for approval purposes.
