All designed to install quickly, reduce labor and material costs, and significantly drive down the total cost of construction. Their engineers and sales teams stand ready to help execute your next cabling project with maximum efficiency and profitability.

Isnake tray cable management, power distribution systems and enclosurest’s a simple truth: Better project design in the early stages, produces better outcomes in the end. The reason is less changes and delays on the job site. Fewer change orders mean lower costs through proper material estimation and less unexpected charges. It also means reduced overtime expenses and fewer delays, allowing contractors to hit construction windows for timely project completion. The result is more profitable projects and happier clients.

Change orders are often result of a Request For Information (RFI), when a stakeholder questions any facet of construction planning. The construction firm has to respond with reports that explore how a vendor might solve a particular problem or educate stakeholders as to a specific material’s or aspect of design’s approval. If a better way to correct or improve the design is identified through this process, a change order is issued. Some change orders send engineers back to the drawing board resulting in expensive reworks and project delays. Others’ solution lies in a few minor adjustments.

Minimize RFIs & Change Orders With Snake Tray Cable Management Systems

A 2020 survey by the Associated General Contractors of America and Autodesk polled over 2,000 firms of the construction industry. They found out that it is possible to resolve or avoid more than 70% of RFIs through a more diligent design review process and/or vetting of documentation for errors and omissions. This occurs as most RFIs are the result of missing or misunderstood information. (2021 Autodesk Construction Outlook: Risks & Opportunities)

When it comes to the cable conveyance and power distribution aspects of a construction project, there aren’t any better or easier solutions than those of Snake Tray. While we can’t help you eliminate every RFI on a project, we can assure you the ease of use, flexibility, and economic realities of Snake Tray Cable Tray Systems will not require any additional clarification or justification from stakeholders. Here’s why:

  • Improved profit margins through better design. Snake Tray is a one-stop source for innovative cable management and smart power distribution solutions for every aspect of commercial and residential building construction. Snake Tray product engineers partner with project architects from initial design and through final review phases to create precise blueprints and design schematics for accurate material and labor estimating.
  • Reduced shipping and transportation expenses. Snake Tray products are warehoused at distribution centers strategically located across the U.S. for economical and timely arrival at the job site. Cable tray sections’ design nests together for cost-effective, high capacity shipping. Fewer trucks and less packaging materials reduce waste and weight, lowering fuel consumption.
  • Easily adaptable to meet any challenge on the job site without change orders. Don’t stop work to change a cable or power distribution pathway, just work around the problem.

On site, Snake Tray hand-bendable systems such as the 101 Series201 Series501 Series, and the 454 Universal SnakeTray are strong yet flexible cable trays that are easily bent by installers in seconds to manage any directional change or navigate around any obstacle.

Snake Tray high capacity cable trays like the 801 Series Mega Snake and Aluminum Cable Trays are too strong to bend by hand, but save time and money by eliminating the need for field fabrication of turns and fittings. Snake Tray systems are pre-manufactured in various widths and lengths for fast and easy installation at the job site. They include pre-fabricated turns, Ts and crosses without the need of special tools, excessive labor or grinding sharp edges. Safely connect sections in just minutes.

To address the need for power distribution beneath raised access floors in office buildings, call centers, and trading floors, nothing is easier to install, more energy efficient, or as versatile than the Snake Bus® Power Distribution System. It provides more than 18 kilowatts of energy in one easy-to-install track and whip system, eliminating the need for traditional pipe and wire conduit. Its modular design allows installers to complete a customizable, reusable power distribution system for spaces up to 1,000,000 square feet quickly, working around any barrier without needing to stop progress to implement a change order.

Not all change orders resulting from RFIs are bad, and change orders should be an expected part of every project. However, the goal is to minimize them before they become a drain on productivity and profitability. When planning cable management and power distribution of your project, let us help from the beginning to ensure better outcomes. Once on the job site, our solutions are infinitely changeable, reusable, and reclaimable. This allows construction to proceed with fewer RFIs and change orders, increasing overall profitability.
