CASE STUDYSIR CHRIS HOY VELODROME, GLASGOW

The Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, part of the Emirates Arena complex, is a brand new, state-of-the-art facility owned by Glasgow City Council. Opened in October 2012, the joint venue is located on a 10.5 hectare site in Dalmarnock and provides a first class venue that will inspire thousands of youngsters to follow in the footsteps of some of their favourite sport stars.

As part of the £113m development, MK Electric’s Power Distribution Systems was chosen by the architect group, 3DReid, and consultant, Arup, in conjunction with the project managers to supply three main products to the site; the Onix Plus screed floorbox, the Cablelink Plus single pan raised floorbox and the DeskPod.

“Further to workshops with the design team, FES selected MK Electric as we believed their product range would be the best solution to complement the building fabric.”

Chris Allen, senior operations director, FES
