Thames Walkway

Thames Walkway - Blakley Electrics

In order to provide 230V electrical supplies for market traders and their stalls temporarily erected on the Thames walkway, the Blakley Electrics Ground Mounted Distribution Assembly (GMDA) were selected for installation by the contractor .

The Assemblies required to be inconspicuous and vandal resistant. In addition the facility to be able to use the GMDAs whilst the lid is in the closed position was deemed a big benefit.

The assemblies comprise up to two 16A 2P+E 230v BSEN60309-2 socket outlets each with a 30mA 25A DP RCD in an IP65 enclosure. Overload and short circuit protection is provided by an mcb mounted in a remotely located feeder pillar, which are part of the Blakley Electrics range. 

A similar installation was made in Redhill, Surrey - High Street when it was pedestrianised in 2004, allowing access to 230volt supplies for street traders, the basis being as detailed above, the installation was by McNicholas Construction.
