JBRC are specialists in heavy industrial containment. Tray, ladder rack, trunking and galvanised conduit form the spine of every serious factory, recycling plant and process facility, carrying hundreds of metres of SWA, control cable and data between switchgear, MCCs, motors and field instruments. Done properly it is invisible. Done badly it sags, overheats, fails earth continuity and turns every future change into a fight. Alongside containment we deliver full factory fit-outs, MCC and motor control work, machinery installation and relocation, high-bay LED lighting, fault finding and industrial EICRs. We work for end clients, automation integrators and principal contractors, typically on live production sites where downtime is measured in thousands of pounds an hour. A representative recent job: we partnered with an automation company on the full electrical installation of a new recycling centre in Calverton, Nottinghamshire. Scope included three-phase power distribution, MCCs, motor connections to conveyors and shredders, heavy-duty galvanised tray and ladder rack across the picking line, high-bay LED lighting and the full Electrical Installation Certificate package at handover. ![Heavy-duty galvanised cable tray bend leaving a process panel at a Nottinghamshire industrial site](/assets/jbrc-203-Cim5aRiT.jpeg) The honest bit ## What goes wrong on industrial containment, and what it costs you Most industrial containment failures we're called to fix come from three places. Tray and ladder rack sized for today's cables with no spare capacity, so the next circuit gets cable-tied to the outside of the run. Brackets and support centres too far apart for the loaded weight, so the run sags and the cables work-harden at every saddle. And bonding shortcuts, missing earth straps across joints, that quietly destroy the earth fault loop path you'll need on the day a motor goes to earth. On a live production line the consequences are not abstract. A sagging tray that finally fails drops a 40kg loom across a conveyor. A missing earth bond means a motor fault clears slow, the upstream MCCB takes the hit, and the whole line drops for the rest of the shift. A trunking run packed to 100% fill runs hot and ages the insulation on every cable in it. We design containment for the life of the building, not the day of the install, 40% spare capacity by default, support centres calculated from loaded weight, every joint bonded, every penetration fire-stopped, and every run labelled so the next contractor can read it without a drawing. How we deliver it ## Our industrial containment process, step by step. 1. 1\. Site survey & route planning We walk the site with you, agree route, headroom, support points and access for future maintenance. Photographs and a marked-up layout drawing come back within 48 hours. 2. 2\. Design pack & material schedule Containment sizing for fill and weight, support centres calculated, bracketry schedule, bonding strategy, fire-stopping schedule. You sign off before any steel arrives on site. 3. 3\. Off-site prefabrication where possible Long runs, bends and ladder-rack assemblies fabricated off-site to reduce live-site hours and keep production running through the install. 4. 4\. Install around your shift pattern Sequenced into planned downtime, weekend shutdowns or night shifts. MEWP and access plan agreed in advance. Daily sign-off with your engineering lead. 5. 5\. Cabling, termination & test Power, control and data pulled to clean fill ratios, glanded and terminated, full BS 7671 testing, thermography under load, and EIC/as-built drawings at handover. ![Heavy structural steelwork with galvanised cable tray and ladder rack threaded through it at a Nottinghamshire industrial fit-out](/assets/jbrc-200-u0DWQ15a.jpeg) Why it matters ## What you actually get. ### Sized for the next 20 years 40% spare capacity by default. The next circuit goes inside the tray, not cable-tied to the outside of it. ### Earth continuity engineered in Every joint bonded, every section continuity-tested. The fault loop path you'll need on a bad day is actually there. ### Installed around your shift pattern Off-site prefab, planned downtime, weekend shutdowns. We don't stop your production line to install our containment. ### 24/7 industrial breakdown cover A real engineer answers and we dispatch from Nottingham, for live sites where every hour of downtime has a number against it. ![Galvanised cable tray cross-junction with formed bends and machine-formed tees in a Nottinghamshire workshop fit-out](/assets/jbrc-204-BUaSLAv2.jpeg) Cross-junction in heavy-duty galvanised tray with factory-formed tees and bonded earth straps at every joint. Technical depth ## Tray vs ladder rack vs trunking vs galvanised conduit, picking the right system for the job Heavy-duty cable tray (returned-edge, hot-dip galvanised, typically 100–600mm wide) is the workhorse for power and control runs above 25mm², strong, well-ventilated, easy to add to. We default to medium- or heavy-duty class to BS EN 61537 on industrial sites, with support centres calculated from the loaded weight per metre rather than picked from a catalogue default. Returns, tees and bends are factory-formed and bonded with proprietary earth straps across every joint. Ladder rack (rung-style, hot-dip galvanised) is the right answer for very heavy power runs, long SWA sub-mains, busbar feeds, motor cables 95mm² and above. The rungs give the cables a mechanical bearing surface, ventilation is excellent for thermal management, and the structural strength supports brackets at 2–3m centres instead of every metre. We use ladder rack on every recycling and process site we install because the dust and vibration are unforgiving. Steel trunking (50–300mm, lid-on) suits dense control and instrumentation work where you want segregation between power, control and data, typically running into MCC panels and field junction boxes. Galvanised conduit (heavy-gauge steel, screwed) is reserved for mechanical-protection runs, motor tails, machine drops and anywhere the cable is exposed to impact, oil or hot work. We never mix systems on a single run without a proper transition box, a clean install reads as one decision per run, not a patchwork. Honest pricing ## Industrial Containment costs in Nottingham, real ranges, not headlines. Industrial containment is always quoted from a site survey, route, fill, support spacing and access all drive the price. Indicative ranges below from real installs in the last 18 months. Scope Typical price (incl. VAT) Notes Short cable tray run (under 20m, single deck) £1,200 – £3,500 Tray, brackets, bends, bonding, install. Excludes the cables in it. Heavy ladder rack run (20–60m, sub-main feed) £4,500 – £14,000 Hot-dip galvanised ladder, structural brackets, MEWP access included. Full factory containment fit-out (single bay) £18,000 – £55,000 Tray, ladder, trunking, conduit, bonding, fire-stopping and as-builts. Full process / recycling plant electrical fit-out £75,000 – £400,000+ Containment, MCCs, motor connections, high-bay LED, EICR, quoted by survey. ### What changes the price - Tray class (light / medium / heavy duty) and width - Working at height, MEWP requirements and access - Out-of-hours and weekend shutdown working - Fire-stopping, hazardous-area or food-grade requirements - Whether off-site prefabrication is viable on the route Where we deliver this ## Areas we cover for industrial containment.
