Cable Troughs for Renewable Energy Infrastructure
Protecting Critical Connections – Above and Below Ground
Elite Precast cable troughs provide a safe, durable, and efficient solution for housing and protecting electrical cabling on renewable energy sites.
Designed for rapid installation and long-term performance, our precast troughs help safeguard vital connections across solar farms, wind turbine arrays, battery storage systems, and grid infrastructure.
Engineered for Energy Efficiency and Safety
As renewable energy projects scale in size and complexity, protecting the high voltage cabling that powers them is essential.
Elite’s heavy-duty concrete troughs offer secure cable routing, while reducing the risks of damage, degradation, or disruption — even in exposed or high-traffic environments.
Key Benefits
- Long-Lasting Protection – Manufactured using high-strength (50N/mm²) concrete, our cable troughs resist weathering, impact, UV exposure, and chemical corrosion — ideal for long-term, low-maintenance performance.
- Fast & Simple Installation – Precast design means cable troughs arrive ready to install, with consistent sizing, integrated covers, and no need for on-site casting or curing.
- Safety First – Fully enclosed systems help protect personnel from trip hazards and reduce the risk of accidental cable contact or damage during maintenance.
- Non-Conductive & Fire Resistant – Designed to support safe cable routing in high-voltage environments. All units are Class A1 fire rated, meeting EN 1369 standards.
- Scalable & Modular – Easily configured to suit complex layouts or phased construction. Suitable for above-ground or buried installation.
- Environmentally Friendly – Manufactured in the UK with low waste, recyclable materials, and reduced transport emissions for a more sustainable solution.
Typical Applications in Renewable Energy
- Solar Farms – Securely route cabling between panel arrays, inverters, and control centres both above or below ground.
- Wind Energy Projects – Protect critical connections between turbines, substations, and grid tie-ins.
- Battery Storage Sites – House high-capacity cabling for containerised battery systems and switchgear.
- EV Charging Infrastructure – Safely distribute power cables to and from EV charging stations on energy storage or microgrid sites.
- Grid Support Installations – Ideal for DNO substations, control rooms, and large-scale renewable energy hubs.
