The system

About EcoTrough

A practical new approach to cable management, designed around the project and ready for its next phase.

About EcoTrough

Cable management that follows the project.

EcoTrough® is a new British-manufactured modular polymer cable trough system developed by EcoTrough, a division of Captrad. It is designed to protect and route power, control and communications cables while offering a lighter, adaptable alternative to conventional concrete troughing.

EcoTrough has undergone initial testing, with further testing planned. Contact us for current evidence relevant to your proposed use.

What matters

Practical benefits from the first plan.

Designed to make cable routes easier to specify, move and install while leaving room for change.

British manufacture

Developed and produced in Britain as a modular cable trough system for infrastructure projects.

Lighter handling

Polymer construction can ease transportation, distribution and positioning on site.

A connected system

Compatible straight sections, bends, junctions and covers support complex routes.

Built to adapt

Extend or reconfigure a cable route as equipment and site plans evolve.

EcoTrough prototype polymer component

From drawing to testing

Precision in every connection.

EcoTrough is being developed using precision tooling to support consistent dimensions and a reliable fit between modules. The interlocking design is intended to simplify assembling a route on site.

Its lower weight can reduce reliance on lifting plant and simplify distribution around restricted or remote locations. The right installation approach still depends on your route, covers and ground conditions.

Product development

A new system, tested in stages.

EcoTrough has undergone initial product testing and further testing is planned. Ask us for the latest test information and suitability guidance for your intended covers, loads and installation.

EcoTrough is a new product. Site imagery illustrates potential applications; completed customer installations are not yet available to show.
