Solutions for airports and railway stations

Cable management: Mesh cable tray and cable tray systems

Moving and stopping
Modern airports and railway-stations combine logistics areas with shopping and leisure facilities. An invisible network of power and data cables keeps these highly complex infrastructures up and running. One of the challenges involved is how to safely route such large numbers of cables and wires. OBO cable support systems offer a comprehensive range of solutions for every scenario, from lightweight mesh trays all the way to diverse cable trays.

Cable management: Vertical ladders, cable ladder and wide span systems

For long distances and heavy loads
Whatever your requirements might be, OBO has the right cable support product in its range. Cable ladder and wide span systems can be used to bridge wide gaps and carry heavy cables.

High loads
OBO systems have proven themselves in numerous areas of industry and plant construction. The range includes various different sizes and surface finishes. OBO also offers a wide selection of system accessories such as fittings and fastenings.

Fire protection and function maintenance: Three protection aims

Fires are the true test
There are a few places that demand such stringent safety measures in the event of a fire as railway stations and airports. Safety-relevant systems have to work for as long as possible in order to protect people. Catastrophic fires, such as the one at Düsseldorf Airport in 1996, have led to a tightening of electrical installation regulations. With its tested systems for structural fire protection, OBO is helping to fulfil them.

Three protection aims
There are three protection aims that have to be met in buildings where lots of people congregate frequently:
1. Limit the spread of fire
2. Safeguard escape and rescue routes
3. Maintain the function of important electrical systems
By using OBO systems, architects and operators can draw on optimised components for complete fire protection and function maintenance in their buildings.

Insulation

1st protection aim: Limit the spread of fire
By limiting the fire to particular parts of a building, the remaining sections can be protected for a certain amount of time, which means valuable breathing space for evacuating people and initiating extinguishing work.

Escape route installations

2nd protection aim: Safeguard escape and rescue routes
When a fire breaks out every minute counts, and escape and rescue routes become a building’s lifelines. The longer people can use them for, the higher their chances of escaping fire and dangerous smoke.

Systems for electrical function maintenance

3rd protection aim: Electrical function maintenance
Function maintenance in electrical systems means that the flow of electricity is not cut off during a fire. That in turn means escape and rescue routes can still be used. Important technical facilities, such as emergency lighting, fire alarms, smoke extractors and extinguisher systems, all continue to function. The longer these systems remain in action, the greater the chances are of rescuing people.

Safe. Solutions for external lightning protection and surge protection

Hot topic
No airport or railway station operator can afford a lightning-induced technical equipment failure. Effective protection is ensured by skilfully and correctly installed lightning protection systems. Damage is caused just as often by electrical surges, which can be triggered by nearby lightning or by switching in large electrical systems. The results can be devastating: not only equipment damage, but network failure and data loss.

Underfloor systems

Taking the strain
In buildings frequented every day by large numbers of people, electrical installations are subject to enormous loads. With their highquality materials and sturdy thicknesses, OBO underfloor systems can take the strain. Numerous useful special parts and ingenious accessories guarantee lasting quality. OBO will also gladly produce custom products tailored to your particular requirements.

Cable routing systems

Flexible solutions for administration
The work processes that take place in the administration centres of airports and railway stations are closely intertwined with electrical systems. OBO solutions form electricity through floors, ceilings and walls. Complex interior architecture benefits especially from the flexibility of our systems, since they can be adapted perfectly to every type of task and room.

Device installation trunking
Bothersome cables are a thing of the past when you supply offices with power and data via device installation trunking along the wall. Fitted at a convenient height, this trunking provides quick access to sockets and data outlets. OBO device installation trunking boasts a wide range of components, ease of combination and intelligent details.

Service poles
Service poles from OBO are among the technical and visual highlights of our office power supply systems. These slimline aluminium or steel floor-to-ceiling poles can be supplied with electricity and data via consolidation points inside false ceilings, and they can be positioned anywhere. Floor poles are preferably connected up through raised and hollow floors.
