It is crucial that these networks not only handle large volumes of traffic, but also that they are sustainable and flexible to adapt to future changes and expansions. In addition, it is also imperative in such projects to maintain operational continuity and to protect users and workers from potential electrical and mechanical hazards.
At PUK Portacables, we have been perfecting our festoon systems for years to meet the demanding requirements of the electrical infrastructure in transport and traffic systems. Therefore, the following are the main challenges to be taken into account
- Hostile environments:
Transmission infrastructures are constantly exposed to adverse conditions that can compromise the integrity of electrical systems. Moisture, extreme heat, pollution and vibration are just some of the challenges these installations face. At PUK Portacables, we understand the importance of protecting these critical systems, which is why our cable trays are designed with highly resistant materials that guarantee durability and reliability in the harshest environments such as tunnels and bridges.
Our cable trays are designed to offer superior corrosion protection, preventing moisture and contamination from damaging cables and electrical connections. In addition, our solutions withstand extreme temperatures, both high and low, without affecting structural integrity or system performance.
We offer a wide range of certified products including large span trays, sheet metal trays, cable clamps, underfloor systems and fire protection systems.
- Accessibility and security:
Accessing areas such as tunnels and bridges for cable tray installation and maintenance can be complex and dangerous. To address these challenges, we implement rigorous safety practices that include specific protocols for high-risk environments.
Our products are designed with features that facilitate access and periodic inspection. This not only guarantees the safety of the workers involved, but also ensures the operational continuity of the infrastructure. We tailor our solutions to meet the most stringent regulations and minimise any potential risks during installation, maintenance and operation in hazardous environments.
- Integration with existing infrastructure
Seamless integration with pre-existing cabling systems is crucial to ensure efficiency and optimal performance in any project. In this line, our team of experts is specialised in providing custom-designed solutions that perfectly match the specific needs of each installation. This not only minimises interference during installation, but also optimises compatibility and the flow of power and data throughout the entire infrastructure.
Our focus is on ensuring that our products and services facilitate a smooth and effective transition, guaranteeing operational continuity and system reliability in critical environments.
Our success story in the Coll de Lilla tunnel
One of the most outstanding projects in which we have participated in this sector is the Coll de Lilla tunnel, an important infrastructure that connects Valls and Montblanc via the A-27. After 15 years of construction work, this highly complex tunnel has finally come into service thanks to the implementation of our solutions. This is a significant milestone for the region, as it is one of the most important road infrastructures in recent years for the south of Catalonia. The tunnel saves 15 minutes of travel time and makes the road connection between Camp de Tarragona and the Costa Daurada with Lleida and Aragon much quicker and safer.
In this project, we installed large-scale certified cable trays and other specialised systems to ensure the safety and functionality of the electrical system inside the tunnel. An involvement that reaffirms our commitment to excellence and innovation in structured cabling solutions.
At PUK Portacables, we continue to move into the future with the aim of providing safe, efficient and sustainable solutions for transport and traffic infrastructures worldwide.
