This study aims to develop a simple yet efficient performance-based design optimization methodology for cable tray systems in building structures. In the paper, the drift ratio between adjacent supports i.
TL;DR: Basic wireway systems cost $8-15 per linear foot, while heavy-duty cable tray installations range from $12-25 per foot including materials and basic installation. Using a labor rate of $60/hour. Support Systems: Overhead Tray for Tray II & VNTC is $10/ft. 03/ft (2". All times are based on a install rate of per each or per metre. Additional allowance should be made for increased working heights. Cable trays will tend to be significantly less expensive to use in 2026 than metal pipes due to their faster installation.
