Capabilities04  Busduct & Busway

High-capacity power distribution that scales as fast as your load.

Talk to our busway team

Modular busway and busduct systems for data centers, industrial plants and commercial buildings: more power in less space, with less loss and a faster install than cable.

  • Busbar trunking
  • Rising mains
  • IP-rated

(01) Overview

Cable runs get heavy, hot and slow to change. Busway moves more power through a compact, modular run, with tap-off points wherever the load needs them.

(02) Scope

From switchgear to riser

Horizontal runs, vertical risers, tap-off units and fire-rated passages, designed as one load path.

(03) Why busway

Busway or cable?

A qualitative comparison. We size every run to the project’s own load path.

(04) Who it’s for

Where busway earns its place

  1. 01

    Data centers

    High-density power distribution from switchgear to rack rows.

  2. 02

    Industrial facilities

    Heavy load paths where cable runs become impractical.

  3. 03

    Commercial buildings

    Vertical riser distribution across multiple floors.

(05) Process

How we work

Calculated, fabricated and tested as one system, then supported as the load changes.

  1. 01

    Design

    Calculate load path, fault current and thermal ratings.

  2. 02

    Build

    Fabricate and install busway sections, joints and tap-offs.

  3. 03

    Commission

    Torque-test joints, verify insulation resistance and load-test.

  4. 04

    Operate

    Scheduled thermal scanning and support for load changes.
