Electrified Deck Systems - Features and Advantages

  • Excellent, reliable structural steel deck strength for composite design loads, and long, clear spans without the use of shoring.
  • Indispensable, expensive wiring and cabling is given maximum protection.
  • Cabling and wiring is adaptable, “future-friendly,” simpler and quicker to modify, troubleshoot and repair.
  • Aesthetics are preserved, since the wire/cable system is concealed within the floor.
  • Superior Return On Investment (ROI). Initial costs are quite moderate, while long-term, likely savings are enormous. Recognizing the inevitability of future building electrical modifications, our approach (versus a conventional method) portends significantly greater direct and indirect savings and other benefits, including:
    • future construction outlays (i.e., labor, materials) are curtailed, reduced or eliminated
    • minimized operational disruptions
    • less likelihood of equipment/fixtures damage
    • less employee downtime
    • improved staff morale and productivity
    • reduced potential for physical hazards and injury
    • decreased, prospective insurance charges
    • diminished liability exposure

“A man often pays dearly for a small frugality.” –Emerson, “Compensation” (1841)

  • Improved marketability for office buildings.
  • Considerably lower “front end” costs, far simpler construction, higher capacity, and no loss of usable building space, when compared to a “raised access floor” approach.
  • Datacom connectivity options.
  • Cordeck can provide intelligent, reliable design information and assistance, to ensure that the end-user’s current and prospective needs are effectively planned.
  • AutoCAD® drawings can be electronically transmitted for improved quality, cost and time.
  • Structural grade, G90 galvanized steel construction, the industry benchmark in cellular raceway strength and corrosion protection.
  • Bundle placement plans ensure correct placement of the floor system parts during unloading and hoisting to building framework.
  • UL®-approved scrub water activation kits – new FloorPort™ Service Fittings provide protection from floor cleaning devices, i.e., carpet scrubbers, wet mops.
