Tips for Concealed Cable Tray Acceptance

• Use detailed CAD blocks to plan tray routing behind walls, ceilings, or floors, ensuring compliance with electrical codes.
• Include support systems in your CAD layout to verify proper spacing, load distribution, and attachment points.
• Coordinate with other MEP services using top, front, and side views to avoid clashes.
• Document installation with CAD drawings for acceptance inspections, showing tray type, size, and routing.
• Leverage 3D models for clash detection and visualization before actual installation. By integrating these CAD resources into your AutoCAD or Revit projects, you can streamline concealed cable tray design, improve accuracy, and facilitate acceptance inspections.
