Cable Management Solutions for the Construction Industry

In the fast-paced world of construction, safety, efficiency, and organization are critical. One often overlooked component that significantly impacts job site productivity and safety is construction cable management.  Hook and loop fasteners offer an adaptable, cost-effective, and reusable solution for managing cables, cords, struts, and hoses in various construction environments, including heavy equipment cable management. 

Why Use SPEEDWRAP® or VELCRO® Brand Fasteners for Construction?

Hook and loop wire management solutions provide several unique benefits ideal for the demands of the construction industry:

• Quick Application: Hook and loop straps are fast and easy to install or remove without the need for tools, saving time on the job site.
• Durability: Hook and loop straps are designed to withstand rugged environments, including dirt, vibration, moisture, and exposure to UV rays.
• Safety: Keeping wires and cords off the ground with hook-and-loop straps helps prevent tripping hazards and meets OSHA housekeeping standards.

Common Hook-and-Loop Applications on Construction Sites

1. Temporary Cable Routing Manage extension cords, welding cables, or temporary power lines for fast adjustments.
2. Tool and Hose Management Bundle air compressor hoses, hydraulic lines, or power tool cords to reduce clutter and prevent damage.
3. Data and Low-Voltage Cabling Protect and organize communication and control wiring during building automation or electrical installations.

CASE STUDY #1: Cable Marking with Construction Ties

Problem: How to identify which contractor owns or is working on different cables? Solution: Custom Printed SPEEDWRAP® Fasteners. To solve this problem, we print the names of the main contractors on cable ties or cut-to-length tapes. Then at the site, each contractor bundles the cables they are responsible for installing or maintaining with their custom-printed SPEEDWRAP® Hook & Loop Fasteners.

Case Study #2: Suspending Cables and Hoses

Problem: How to elevate and contain cables, power cords, and wires during the reconstruction of institutional buildings On the job site, each contractor is responsible for maintaining and securing their own power cords and cables and keeping them out of the way of the other trades. As a result, a construction subcontractor requested a reusable tie to lift power cords and cables off the floor during the concrete cutting and drilling process, as required by OSHA. Solution: SPEEDWRAP® Suspender Strap

The SPEEDWRAP® Suspender Strap fastener features a metal carabiner at one end and a hook and loop strap at the other. Contractors wrap the hook & loop end around pipes below the ceiling and then run the wires to their sanding and concrete spreading equipment into the carabiner end. This keeps the power cables suspended and out of the way, while also ensuring contractors work safely.
