Whitepaper | Roxtec Multi-Cable Transit Devices
Published 13 Oct 2020
Abstract
This is an introduction to applications and an engineering design approach for the proper use of Roxtec multi-cable transit devices within onshore oil, gas and petrochemical facilities. This paper demonstrates improved safety and improved project delivery when cable transit devices are included into owner and EPC design scopes.
International standards for cable transit devices and common safety demands are presented, including the use of Roxtec cable transit devices for vapor-tight barriers, blast-rated structures, fire walls, pressurized buildings, and simple ingress protection against environmental elements.
Incorporating Roxtec transits into owner-level and engineering-level design standards, is demonstrated to provide project savings that include reducing contractor work-hours, detail design time, and reduced field maintenance time. Proper multi-cable transit design and installations are also shown to increase project safety and operational uptime.
