PROtrough

Network Rail Approved

Approved for full use within electrical substation compounds.

Water Drainage

Moulded slots within the base of the PROtrough unit allow for natural drainage of water into the ground below.

Quick Assembly

PROtrough offers simple slide and drop male to female connectivity with a unique one click interlocking cover and sliding mechanism.

Unique Cover

PROtrough’s distinctive tread pattern and concave shape increases natural water runoff preventing the build-up of ice. The uniquely designed cover ensures no material ingress when access is required.

Lightweight

Weighing under 20kg PROtrough offers significant health and safety advantages over traditional concrete troughing systems that can weigh over 90kg. PROtrough is suitable for single person lift and install, enabling compliance with manual handling regulations. Being lightweight and easy to deploy results in considerable project time and cost savings.

Fire Retardant

PROtrough is a GRP cable management trough that has been designed to comply with all European fire retardant specifications, including those for tunnels and stations. PROtrough has passed several accredited external tests including the DIN53438-2, hot brake shoe fire resistance, wooden crib and K1 tests.

Custom Badging and Locking Options

MULTIduct™ combines multiple cable ducts that would traditionally be separated. This results in the need for a reduced excavation resulting in narrower, shallower trenches, no graded backfill between ducts and reduced time, during installation.

Linear Ballast Anchor Points / Multi Point Handle Grip

Linear ballast anchor points secure the PROtrough unit into the surrounding material, meaning units are not displaced by the velocity of passing trains or vehicles. Multi point handle grips provide easy grab positions for installers to make manual handling simpler.

Materials

GRP

Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) outperforms traditional construction methods for chemical resistance during its buried life, resulting in a product that offers longer installed life.

Load Rating

PROtrough meets the vertical load class of A15 set by EN124.

PROtrough has been designed with optimum sidewall strength performance to ensure minimal flex when back filled.

How it works

PROtrough is a highly durable cable protection system that easily resolves engineering challenges for cable laying. The system offers a simple slide and drop male to female connectivity with a unique one click interlocking cover and sliding mechanism.

Options and Accessories

PROtrough can be supplied with the following accessories:

Wedges and Adapters

The PROtrough wedge has been designed to assist in any curvature needed within specified cable routes. The unique one click assembly of the wedge units can be adjusted to turn either right or left to accommodate a 1.5 meter bend radius.

PROtrough’s unique adaptor system enables male to male, female to female connection with the added flexibility to easily install unit sections in the opposite direction.

30° Elevation Connection System

PROtrough’s elevation connection system is designed to deal with abrupt changes in elevation in scenarios such as:

• On site obstacles
• Unique surface level connection to elevated troughing system
• Embankment install

5 Way Junction Box

PROtrough’s truly unique junction box is a first within the troughing market. The junction box brings flexibility and adjustability to allow a 5 way inlet and outlet to cable routes and individual customer needs.
