New garage wiring ideas

[Eoghan06]

Hi All,

I have recently put up a 25x48ft garage.
With 2 14 foot wide doors and the last bay with no door.

I am currently ply lining the inside to get wall structure as it is steel to the floor. I am using 8x4ft sheets

I am unsure what the best way to wire it for sockets ect as I also want to run compressed air and water around the garage too.

I am just looking for people best ideas or pictures of there setup to try see what will work best for me.

I am thinking of using galvanised trunking around the top of the 8ft sheet for wiring but then not sure what way to do the compressed air and water with that.

Thanks

If nothing is run yet, consider all 3 needs at once to minimize conflicts between them.

Add 12-18" unistrut vertically and run all 3 systems horizontally across the walls. Use emt for electrical.
Do vertical drops at needed locations for each.

The OP is in Ireland, much different wiring methods then in the US.

Vertical risers to support your horizontal electrical, pneumatic and water lines will allow a professional appearance and facilitate later modifications.

Don’t try to skimp on the capacity of any of your utility services, ample wire gauge is cheaper to do initially than later.

Here is one I am almost finished with. It's a little larger at 48X40X16 and has steel wall liner instead of plywood but does have exposed conduit (EMT). You can see the unistrut on the wall in the picture that has the panel.
