Marco has supplied both Steel Wire Cable tray and Elite uPVC trunking to M&E contractors carrying out installations works at the Shard, the latest major development to feature amongst London’s skyline.
The Shard, which stands at 1,016 feet is tipped to be the tallest building in Europe. Completed ahead of the London Olympics later this year, and will provide 900,000 square feet of office space, hotel, residential apartments, restaurants and viewing galleries with unparalleled views of south east England. Designed by world reknowned architect Renzo Piano, construction costs alone have totaled £428m.
Luke Kellaher of Marco Cable Management said: “Needless to say, we’re thrilled to have our products specified at such an important structure. Our new Elite range has sat incredibly well with the modern, clean, bright white design of the Shard and it’s fantastic to see out product in-situ.”
