​
Construction Administration:
Ensure IT Structured Cabling is installed / delivered according to scope, quality and timelines during the Implementation phase through:
-
Management of Appointed Vendor / Contractor to ensure they follow the project plan and meet quality standards.
-
Regular Quality Checks (i.e. QA /QC Inspections) to ensure they align with approved design specifications & project requirements
-
Defect Checking & Rectification Coordination
(If applicable) -
Testing & Commissioning to ensure system meets specified requirements, operates safely & correctly.
-
Project Closeout & review of Final Documents, such as As-Built Drawings, Operation & Maintenance Manuals (OMMs)
-
User Training Coordination & Deployment Support
(If required)
NETWORK / SERVER ROOM DESIGN
Expertly-designed Infrastructure Rooms to ensure the optimal efficiency, security and performance of your IT equipment.
Possible Scope of Work include:​
Needs Assessment & Requirements Gathering:
-
Gather Project & User-specified Criteria / Requirements through:
~ Assessment of the Type, Quantity &
Operation Requirements of the IT Equipment (e.g.
Computer Servers & Racks, Data Storage & Networking
Equipment) to be housed in the room(s).
~ Assessment of Space & Building Plans
(e.g. Room Dimensions, Floor Loading Capability,
Airflow, Maintenance Access)
-
Ensure Space meets all relevant Industry & Organisation Standards & Regulations.
​​
Room Design / Specification of the following:​
-
Optimal Room Location & Specification
~ Dust-free & well-ventilated
~ Centrally located for cabling, maintenance & building
services access & efficiency
~ Proximity to building risers and away from potential
hazards or interferences
~ Appropriate room sizing for current equipment & future expansion
-
Optimal Equipment Placements
~ Equipment spacing & placement for easy access,
proper heat distribution, weight management.
-
Power Requirements & Management
~ Power Needs Assessment (Power Load Calculations
based on current & future requirements
~ Power Supply Check to verify power supply capacity to
prevent overload
~ Power Distribution Units (PDUs) deployment for efficient
power distribution & management
~ Emergency / Redundancy Power Sources
(e.g. Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) or
Back-up Generators)
~ Electrical Protection i.e. proper grounding & surge
protection to safeguard equipment from electrical
disturbances
-
Cooling & Ventilation:
~ Cooling Systems such as Computer Room Air
Conditioner (CRAC), overhead cooling units, self-cooling
cabinets and raised floor systems to maintain ideal
temperature or distribute cool air to equipment
~ Temperature Control: Use layouts like hot/cold aisles to
maintain optimal temperatures
-
Security & Monitoring:
~ Access control: Secure the room with locks & CCTVs &
alarm systems
~ Environmental sensors to monitor temperature,
humidity & detect potential hazards like fires or leaks
-
Fire Suppression & Disaster Recovery:
~ Selection of right fire suppression systems
(sprinklers/gas-based) based on needs, actual site
environment & local fire code.
~ Development of a Disaster Recovery Plan to minimise
downtime
​​​
Design Visualisation: & Collaboration:
