As far as cabling and containment, I think it wll depend on 3 things,
load, environment and cost. We will need to be mindful of what we
can deliver and what our budget is. Better to deliver a good basic job
that run out of money trying to do fancy stuff. I think our main issues
will be luminaires on the shooting lanes, as fully protected fittings do
not come cheap. Maybe we could think about halogen floods to light the
lanes from behind the shooter, relatively cheap and bright enough for the job.

I will put some more thought into it once we have the drawings put
together, but, think about Earthing/Bonding, in an all steel shelled building
there will be plenty of it.

oh so the building is a big bugger! Have you got Any pictures? If the building is of tin sheet construction then there will neeed to be a structural bond coming from the dist. to the sheeting at any point.

By the looks of things we will defintetley need a new dist. board with relevant mcb's and rcd's where applicable. As for cable outside it will most likely be SWA cable and sealed fluroescent fittings.

As for bonding we will need a 10mm CPC to both the main water stop tap and to the main gas incoming pipe, the useual cross bonding at sinks etc. will also apply.

We really need a good good look around and someone who really does know his onions to electrically look at this job and decide what we need and how we are going to do it with the amount available.
