2. Enlarged top flange for stiffness

3. Structural grade, traceable steel

4. Rung top lock and weld bead

5. Positive rung support

6. Marked every 450mm with company name, part number, material, and heat trace

Engineered Side Rail Design Provides High Strength

I-Beam Side Rail Profile - Aluminum

• I-Beam profile is the most efficient structural shape

• Features

1. I-beam side rail maximizes strength to weight ratio

2. Thick top flange for stiffness

3. Rung top lock and weld bead

4. Positive rung support

5. Thick outside flanges for accessory attachment

Engineered Side Rail Design Provides High Strength


Common side rail

designs:

C-shape without weld

bead.

C-shape curved flange.

C-shape with weld bead.

Offset C-shape

I-Beam Engineering Outperforms all Other C-Shapes

Common Side Rail Shapes


I-Beam vs. C-Shaped Rails

19

C-shape side rail profile: - 150mm high x 1.5mm thick (16 gauge) side rail

- 184kg/m on a 3.0m span

- Based on simple beam destructive load test to NEMA VE-1

I-beam side rail profile: - 150mm high x 1.5mm thick (16 gauge) side rail

- 446kg/m on a 3.0m span

- Based on simple beam load test to NEMA VE-1

I-Beam Profile Carries 2.3X Greater Load than C-Shape Profile


Fitting Design

Fitting Designs Help Maximize System Strength

Features:

• 300mm, 600mm, 900mm & 1200mm Standard Radius

• Smooth radius for cable protection

• Positive rung support

• Requires fewer supports to carry design load that NEMA VE-2 diagrams

• 75mm and 100mm Tangent

• Maximizes Splice Plate Contact

• Improves Electrical Continuity


Splices & Specialty Splices

• AL ‘Wedge-lock’

• Structurally integral

• Self-Supporting

• Fast, simple, and safe installation

• Steel Splice

• Maximizes rail to splice engagement

• Unique hole pattern

• Heavy Duty Expansion

• Minimize structural supports

• Minimize deflection

• Increase system flexibility

Splice Plates Enhance Structural Integrity


High Performance Cover Clamps

Recommended for any application – indoor and outdoor

• Available in stainless steel 316 and mechanical zinc

• Works with B-Line HPL, SDL, and HDL Series

• Reduces cover sagging and warping

Cyclonic Wind Rated

• Withstands 76m/s (170mph) Standard

Two Styles to Select From

• Standard – flush with top of ladder

• Raised (35mm) - for ventilation


Why B-Line Cable Ladder ????


B-Line Cable Ladder Construction =

*** Strongest in the Industry ***


If Not B-Line Ladder ????


Car Crash!!!!


Structural Steel Savings:

Reduce Procurement Cost and Engineering Complexity


Opportunity: Cable Tray Supports

Trapeze Support

$75 - $250 / support Engineered Pipe Racks

$1,500 - $15,000 / support

Supports for Cable Ladder can Exceed the Price of Cable Ladder


Current State – Fitting Supports

Horizontal Bend – 8 Supports


Why the current state?

• NEMA VE 2, BEAMA, and Manufacturers supply recommendations for the installation

of cable tray including support locations for fittings

That’s the way we’ve always done it…

Horizontal Bend Vertical Bend


How Can B-Line Help You?

Minimize Required Steel for Fittings


B-Line Recommendations – Horizontal Bend

Added Flexibility for Horizontal Fittings


B-Line Recommendations – Vertical Bend

Added Flexibility for ALL Fittings


Implementation…

Use Manufacturers Recommended Support Locations


The Math…

• 90° Horizontal Bend Fitting:

• Steel weighs approx. 52 kg/m

• Opportunity to reduce approx. 12 linear meters of steel for 1 x horizontal bend.

• Results in ~ 624 kg of steel removed.

• Therefore:

• 1 x example of a horizontal bend saves 624kg & $546 of steel

• 200mm x 100mm Steel I-beam = Yen 76,000 ($875) / 1000kg (Japan Metal Bulletin)

• Question:

• How many horizontal bends on your current project?

• How much steel weight and $$$ can be saved?

What if the Competition Gives Their Tray Away for Free?


Straight Sections

3m Support Spacing – Only for the Competition


Straight Sections – Removing Supports

6m Support Spacing – Removes 50% of the Supports from a 3m Span


Straight Sections – Up to 12m!

Removes 50% of the Supports Of a 6m Span


Success Story:

Situation:

• TOTAL completing a refinery expansion in Louisiana. Supports for cable ladder run to a flare 213m from existing structures cost $30,000/support due to soil conditions

• 6m support span = 35 supports x $30k = $1.05M

Solution:

• Substitute 6m straight section cable ladder with 12m straight section cable ladder

• 12m support span = 18 supports x $30k = $0.54M

Results:

• Reduced the number of supports required for the 213m run by 50%, reducing the support cost from $1.05M to $0.54M

• Saved $510,000

Longer Spans Save Significant Time and Money


Estimated Project Savings:

Save: $3,233,413 support spans + $2,023,125 fitting supports + $1,128,974 expansion splice supports

TOTAL SAVING $6,385,512.00
