Before installation, review the approved shop drawings to identify the path, slope, and locations of bends, tees, or risers . Use a chalk line or laser level to mark the tray route accurately, ensuring the slope is consistent and supports are correctly positioned . Identify any obstacles such as pipes or HVAC ducts to avoid interference.
Cable trays on slopes must be securely supported to prevent sagging or movement. Standard support intervals are typically 1.5 to 2 meters, but always follow the manufacturer's specifications and load calculations . For bends, consider additional support brackets or corner supports to maintain structural integrity and prevent stress on the cables .
