Project Name: Lomonosov Moscow State University – New Campus
Product Scope: Perforated Cable Trays (Ventilated Trays), Metallic Conduits (EMT/Rigid Conduits), Grounding Wires
Project Status: Completed | Commissioning Year: 2024
Client/Owner: Lomonosov Moscow State University
EPC Contractor/Procurement: China Construction Engineering (CSCEC)
Supplier: Burkaf
Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU), founded in 1755, is one of the most prestigious and oldest universities in Russia, enjoying a stellar reputation in global higher education. The New Campus expansion project is one of the university's most significant infrastructure initiatives in recent years, aimed at providing modern spaces and facilities to accommodate growing teaching and research needs, including new academic buildings, research centers, laboratories, and supporting facilities.
Burkaf partnered with China Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC), one of the world's largest engineering EPC contractors, to provide perforated cable trays, metallic conduits, and grounding wires for this project, fully supporting the electrical system construction of the new campus's academic buildings and research centers.
Harsh Cold Climate Conditions: Winter temperatures in Moscow can drop to -30°C. Cable trays and metallic conduits must have excellent low-temperature impact resistance and cold resistance to prevent embrittlement and cracking under extreme low temperatures.
Severe Temperature Fluctuations: Buildings experience dramatic temperature differences between indoor and outdoor environments. Products must have good thermal stability and resistance to thermal expansion and contraction.
High Standards for Educational Buildings: As a world-class university, the new campus demands high standards of electrical installation in terms of standardization, safety, and aesthetics.
Multiple System Integration: Academic buildings and research centers involve various electrical subsystems including lighting, network, security, fire alarm, and laboratory equipment, requiring complex yet well-segregated cabling.
Coordination with an International EPC Contractor: As one of the world's largest engineering EPC contractors, CSCEC imposes strict requirements on supplier quality management, technical standards, and delivery systems.
Burkaf provided a combined solution of perforated cable trays, metallic conduits, and grounding wires for this project, fully meeting the high standards of electrical system construction for Lomonosov Moscow State University's New Campus.
1. Perforated Cable Trays: Facilitating Cable Routing and Heat Dissipation
Perforated cable trays feature an open-bottom hole pattern, facilitating cable fixing and tying for neat, orderly wiring. The open structure also allows timely dissipation of heat generated during cable operation, making them well-suited for the electrical installation requirements of academic buildings and research centers.
2. Metallic Conduits: Reliable End-Point and Branch Protection
Metallic conduits are used for branch circuits and end-point protection, providing reliable mechanical protection for conductors. In specialized areas such as laboratories, conduits provide additional cable protection and facilitate future maintenance and circuit modifications.
3. Complete Grounding Protection System
Burkaf provided dedicated grounding wires and matching connectors, ensuring grounding continuity of the electrical system, protecting the safety of students, faculty, and staff, and ensuring proper operation of precision equipment. A good grounding system effectively prevents static buildup and electrical faults.
4. Low-Temperature Design: Adapting to Russia's Harsh Cold Climate
Burkaf products feature low-temperature-resistant material design, maintaining good mechanical performance under extreme low-temperature conditions of -30°C and below without embrittlement, cracking, or deformation, adapting to the harsh conditions of Moscow winters.
5. Efficient Coordination with an International EPC Contractor
Burkaf worked closely with CSCEC throughout the project—from drawing review and sample approval to batch delivery—fully responding to the EPC's management requirements and ensuring material supply aligned with construction progress.
6. Reliable Delivery and Quality Consistency
The project was successfully completed in 2024, with Burkaf achieving batch-by-batch on-time delivery and consistent product quality, with no rework or delays caused by material issues.
The Lomonosov Moscow State University New Campus was successfully completed and put into operation in 2024.
The Burkaf perforated cable tray, metallic conduit, and grounding wire system was installed to specification with neat, orderly wiring, receiving high recognition from the EPC contractor and the university.
Provided safe and reliable electrical infrastructure support for the expansion of one of Russia's most prestigious universities.
The successful implementation of this project demonstrates that Burkaf products meet the high standards of electrical systems required by a world-class university. The combined solution of perforated cable trays, metallic conduits, and grounding wires provides a complete cable management solution for educational buildings in cold regions. The successful cooperation with CSCEC further highlights Burkaf's capability to serve top-tier international EPC contractors.
