Energy distribution trunking for enclosed areas - accommodates power and communications cables to be installed in modular construction projects

摘要

The energy distribution system includes elongated supports housing power and communication lines which are arranged end to end on a floor along the primary walls of an enclosed area such as a room in an office building. Each support includes an upright wall to which a pair of vertically-spaced upper and lower support portions are mounted to extend horizontally in one direction from the upright wall. The supports define a pair of utility spaces, an upper utility space being provided between the supports and a lower utility space being provided below the lower support. The utility spaces house the electrical and communication lines. A secondary wall panel is positioned on the supports to cover and conceal the primary walls. Cover strips are detachably mounted on the supports to cover the utility spaces so as to provide the supports with the appearance of a continuous extension of the secondary wall panels.
