Article Abstract:
The design of electrical and sprinkler distribution systems in retail distribution centers must be coordinated with the conveying systems and their support. Often, a substructure grid is installed below the building roof structure to support conveyors. Distribution centers can also be designed for optimal column spacing and the racks or conveyors can be fitted to the buildings. A trapeze system is not needed for the utility wirings.
