What is Anderlite Cable Troughing?
Anderlite cable troughing, manufactured by Anderton Concrete, is a lightweight, pre-cast concrete troughing system used to house and protect cables on rail applications.
The cable troughs are typically laid in the ground, running parallel to the rail track forming a stable installation and providing vital protection to LV and MV cables from external forces including weather, animals and even cable theft.

The Anderlite cable troughing system is approved for use by Network Rail who own and operate Britain's rail infrastructure and oversees 20,000 miles of track throughout the UK.
The fact that Anderton concrete cable troughing is approved for use on this infrastructure speaks volumes about the quality and reliability of the product.
In addition to being approved for use by Network Rail, Anderton are also a member of the Rail Alliance and are Link-up registered.
Benefitting The Installer, The Cable System & The Environment
Anderlite concrete cable troughing system provides up to 30% weight reduction compared to other cable routing systems and significantly reduces installation cost.
The pre-cast design of the system also reduces any risk of injury to the installer and allows for a seamless installation with no changes to the track side infrastructure required.
Each section of the cable trough is comprised of a three sided base trough and a seperate concrete lid to sit on top and provide complete cable protection.
The trough lids can be secured using the Anderclip stainless steel clip.

The installation retains sufficient mass to ensure that the rail cable protection is free from future movement caused by trains, weather or ground movement often referred to as 'snaking'.
The system also has green credentials and the construction mix in comprised of 45% recycled material reducing the carbon footprint and the environmental impact of the system.
Optional extras include cable theft deterrent system to prevent the cutting and removal of cables from the trough. The Anderlite troughs are cementitious based as well as being fire, sulphur and weather resistant.
