HH Robertson in-floor cable distribution systems are Cradle to Cradle Certified at the Silver level by the MBDC*. This certification means that HH Robertson systems meet established standards for human health, environmental health and recyclability.

HH Robertson in-floor cabling distribution systems contain a high percentage of recycled content, are fully recyclable, minimize jobsite waste and conserve materials during the manufacturing process.

HH Robertson systems reduce or eliminate a variety of other building materials that would be necessary to cable a building without an in-floor cabling system. These materials include conduit, cable trays, power poles, poke-thru devices, access floor panels and pedestals, and others. Since HH Robertson's in-floor cable distribution system also serves as the steel decking for steel frame construction, use of the system represents a significant net reduction in material usage, while enhancing the health, safety and welfare of building occupants.

The use of HH Robertson systems contributes to LEED certification. For more information on how to choose a cable distribution and management system with sustainable qualities, check out this article at Environmental Design and Construction.

The 42,000 square-feet Jackson Rancheria Casino in Jackson, California, features an HH Robertson in-floor cable distribution system.

For steel frame construction, an in-floor cabling system is, in fact, two building products in one – the structural steel decking for the concrete slab pour, and an array of protective trapezoidal steel conduits for safely routing power, data and telecom cabling under the floor slab to any work station.

For interior design, in-floor distribution means no expensive and unsightly floor to ceiling power poles that block site lines and mar clean open aesthetics. In-floor systems are available for all construction types including

• Steel frame
• Concrete frame
• Slab-on-grade
HH Robertson offers a 1-credit hour AIA CES HSW learning unit entitled, Enhancing Health and Safety Through Informed Cabling Design Decisions on
The Continuing Architect.


The one-hour course explores the health and safety risks of common methods of cabling and explains why in-floor cabling is a far safer and healthier method of distribution.

HH Robertson in-floor cable distribution systems are ideal for casinos because they offer safety, design flexibility, and capacity as well as added security, making it extremely difficult for anyone but building management to access data communications cabling. No other wiring system provides better RF shielding or electrical grounding.

HH Robertson's trench header cover plates and outlet box break-out pans have been extensively load tested to carry heavy rolling loads from coin carts and other equipment typically used in operating casinos. The systems are configured to provide maximum aesthetic appeal while providing easy access to outlets. Most importantly, systems are UL-approved and fully comply with the National Electrical Code.
