PROJECT DETAILS

This two-story office build in Ontario had a tricky logistical issue, the solution, change the method to a new and innovative suspension solution. The Fast Trak System. Paul Harron, Site Manager, CMS Electrical Group said the following.

“On this job, in particular, getting a 10’ strut up to the second level would have been a pain. We couldn’t go in the elevator with it, the staircase is very narrow and it would cost a lot to hire equipment to lift the materials through the window. With Fast Trak, the brackets are pre-cut in manageable lengths. It was very easy for the guys to just walk the materials up the stairs.”

“The Fast Trak system was way faster than what we would normally do. Eliminating the need to cut and file
the strut and rod made the installation about 8-10 times faster.” “From a health and safety aspect, no cutting and a limited amount of time spent at height was a huge benefit. Not only that, we’ve vastly eliminated the need for cutting discs, band saws and all the components you need to do a traditional rod trapeze.” Thanks to the innovative problem-solving, the job site was a safer environment all around. Great work by the whole team
