    Installing floorbox, power and networking

    Drilling holes in structural steels is not to be advised unless you have the positions confirmed by a structural engineer. It may be like drilling a hole in a wooden joist but the consequences can be a lot more serious if a steel beam fails .I hope your public liability insurance is upto date.

    3 Pirs activating lighting

    The only thing with your drawing ColJack is your assuming the feed is at the switch, it may be at the first light as in my example, yours is another way to do it but depends on the actual situation on site. Nick
