CABLOFIL - Leighton Hospital Take EZ-Path To Minimise Disruption
 Disruption from refurbishments and service upgrades will be minimised at
Leighton Hospital in Crewe from now on thanks to the use of an innovative
combined cable management and fire stopping system from Cablofil.
Cablofil’s EZ-Path system combines both cable containment and an effective fire
barrier for any data communications cabling or low voltage wiring networks. A
self-sealing system made up of square section galvanised steel trunking, EZ-Path
is pre-lined with inert fire stopping materials, which expand dramatically in
the event of a fire, providing a high integrity barrier against flames, smoke
and fumes.
The EZ-Path system has been installed during a mainly cosmetic upgrade of the
main corridors or ‘streets’ leading to Ward 2 at Leighton Hospital by fire
protection specialist, Checkmate Fire Solutions. While this upgrade did not
involve any changes to the electrical services, any future cabling changes would
ordinarily require replacement of the fire stopping protection, causing
additional dust, disruption and infection control risks. To avoid this, the
hospital opted to install Cablofil EZ-Path over the top of the existing cable
management installation, enabling them to leave the original services in situ
whilst providing capacity for more cables to be installed in the future without
the need for any additional fire stopping.
Explains Mark Shaw from Checkmate: “The existing cable management system was
nearing full capacity and by anticipating future needs now, the estates team has
put in place a system that will enable additional cables to be added quickly and
simply without the need to amend the fire stopping.”
