Backed by Harbor Energy Solutions, HighBus addresses key challenges in vertical power distribution while delivering exceptional results for engineers and architects.

Features and Benefits of HighBus

Seamless Integration and Customization
HighBus integrates smoothly with Superior Tray Systems’ other products, allowing for a cohesive and streamlined power distribution network. Its customizable design enables tailored solutions for unique floor heights and specific project needs.

Cost-Efficient Design
HighBus reduces both installation and operational costs through its modular, all-in-one system. It eliminates the need for sourcing multiple components, reducing labor and time. Additionally, its wet-dry rating ensures protection from water damage, minimizing the need for costly replacements during construction or service life

Watertight Integrity and Firestop Protection
Engineered with watertight seals, water dams, and integrated firestop pillows, HighBus systems can endure up to 12 inches of flooding, preventing water damage and ensuring safety during emergencies. The firestop features further protect against fire spread between floors, a crucial consideration in high-rise applications

Space-Saving Design
HighBus offers up to a 50% smaller footprint compared to traditional bus ducts. This makes it an ideal choice for projects where space constraints are critical, such as urban high-rises and dense infrastructure environments

Addressing Challenges with HighBus

In large-scale constructions such as high-rises, hospitals, and data centers, vertical cablebus power distribution presents unique challenges. STS HighBus, represented in the U.S. by Harbor Energy Solutions, offers innovative solutions tailored to these demanding applications.

Water Damage Prevention:

Water intrusion poses significant risks to electrical systems, leading to malfunctions and safety hazards. High-rise buildings are particularly susceptible due to the complexity of their plumbing systems and the potential for leaks at various levels. HighBus’s wet-dry rating ensures reliable performance in both indoor and outdoor conditions, effectively mitigating the risks associated with water exposure.

Fire Safety:

The vertical spread of fire in high-rise buildings can lead to severe property damage and loss of life. Firestop systems are crucial in compartmentalizing buildings, preventing the spread of fire and smoke between floors. HighBus incorporates built-in firestops at every penetration, enhancing the building’s passive fire protection and providing occupants with more time to evacuate during emergencies.

Accommodating Building Sway:

High-rise structures are designed to sway in response to wind and seismic activities. Rigid electrical distribution systems may suffer damage under such movements, leading to potential system failures. HighBus’s flexible design absorbs building movements, maintaining structural integrity and ensuring uninterrupted power distribution even in dynamic environments.

Ease of Installation:

Modular HighBus sections reduce cablebus installation complexity and labor demands. The integrated water dam acts as structural support, streamlining the installation process while maintaining system integrity.

Delivering Results for Large Projects

Engineers and architects looking for a vertical power distribution system that prioritizes safety, reliability, and efficiency will find HighBus to be an exceptional cablebus choice. Whether it’s accommodating building sway, reducing operational costs, or safeguarding against environmental hazards, HighBus is engineered to solve the unique challenges of high-rise and large-scale projects.
