Our team of experts puts customisation at the heart of their work. The approach is based on analysing the characteristics and requirements of each space in order to offer tailor-made solutions that not only meet current needs, but also anticipate future demands. For this reason, our starting point is always to listen to and thoroughly analyse the characteristics of each project that is put on the table.
What type of space is it? What conditions must it withstand? Are there plans for future expansion? Here are the key factors to consider.
1. Assessing project needs
There are no two projects alike. Each one has its own characteristics which present unique challenges and demand specific solutions. Several factors come into play in this equation that cannot be overlooked..
- Type of sector in which the infrastructure is developed: Working on a project for the construction sector, where highly organised and scalable solutions are required, is not the same as in industries such as oil and gas, where system robustness is essential. In other types of projects such as infrastructure and traffic, accessibility and ease of maintenance are key, while in the energy sector, high system load capacity is essential to handle large volumes of cables.
- Environmental conditions: Climate plays a crucial role in the selection of materials. In environments with high humidity or exposure to corrosive substances, resistant materials such as stainless steel or anti-corrosion coatings should be used. This ensures the durability and safety of the system, protecting the cables and preventing damage from environmental wear and tear.
- Size and complexity of the project: The larger and more complex the project, the greater the need for customised systems. In large projects, such as manufacturing plants, the cable management system must handle a large number of cables of different types. This implies the need for modular solutions that allow flexibility and scalability as the project evolves.
- Available budget and delivery times: In projects with tight deadlines or resource constraints, simpler or lower cost solutions may be prioritised. However, it is important that, even with constraints, the quality and security of the system is maintained. For projects with more budgetary flexibility, customised solutions may offer more long-term benefits.
2. Flexible and modular designs
Versatility makes the difference and to achieve this it is essential to have a wide range of products capable of adapting to any need. At PUK Portacables, we have a wide range of products on offer, including wire mesh trays, ladder trays, perforated trays, blind trays, self-supporting systems, fixing accessories, underfloor solutions, clamps and specific systems for fire protection, among others. Thanks to our modular approach, each solution can be customised from the outset, allowing for future extensions or reconfigurations.
3. Regulatory compliance and security
It is essential to ensure that our cable support systems comply with current standards, whatever type of project we are working on. These regulations address key issues such as structural strength, fire protection, corrosion resistance, load carrying capacity, suitability for specific environments (such as wet or corrosive environments) and appropriate installation methods.
At PUK, we follow the guidelines set by the German Institute for Standardisation (DIN), which specify the technical requirements, test procedures and measurement methods necessary to ensure the quality, safety and compatibility of our systems. Complying with these regulations is not only a legal obligation, but also protects the safety of workers, the integrity of the infrastructure and helps prevent potential accidents.
4. Operational costs
A custom-designed cable management system not only improves space organisation, but also optimises resource management and reduces long-term operating costs. By adapting to the specific needs of each project, these systems allow for more efficient installation, minimising material waste and installation time. They also make maintenance easier, as cables are more accessible and system reconfiguration is simpler. Together, this contributes to a more efficient, secure and sustainable infrastructure, ensuring smoother operations.
Our success stories
Our experience is our best guarantee. Over the years, we have been a fundamental part of many projects that demonstrate our ability to adapt to all kinds of demands. We have participated in projects of great relevance, such as the Coll de l'Illa, the photovoltaic installation in Puerto Real (Cadiz) or the Trinitat metro station (Barcelona). In each, our solutions have proven to be adaptable, efficient and perfectly designed to meet specific requirements. In addition, big names in the automotive industry such as Ford, Opel, Mercedes and Volkswagen have also placed their trust in us for their projects.
At PUK Portacables, we understand that customising a festoon system goes beyond simple design: it requires analysis, planning and experience. Under these premises, we work tirelessly to ensure that each project reaches its maximum potential. For more information about our solutions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
