Able Data were contracted to build an IRS system for the new Abbey gate Sainsbury’s development in Milton Keynes. Over the large development, it was decided to build a separate aerial rig and head end on each main block, subdividing the project into smaller independent units. Each flat was provided with its own TV and Data patch cabinet to allow flexible re-configuration of the services. One of the challenges was to build temporary TV/Sat head ends to accommodate new tenants moving whilst the main development continued.

Contractor HBG Construction

Project Description

HBG have built three new secondary schools in West Sussex, Oriel, Ifield and Thomas Bennett. As part of this project, they contracted Able Data to design and install a data cabling and TV distribution system. The data cabling systems are based on the Brand Rex Millenium Cat5e system. In each school, Able Data installed 2,000 RJ45 outlets in class rooms, staff rooms and other locations. These outlets were run back to a number of local patch cabinets, which were in turn connected back to the main computer room via OM3 fibre. The TV distribution system includes 300 class room TV outlets per school. Within each school, these are fed from a single central head end, which is in turn fed from a single set of TV and radio aerials. The head end equipment includes a high quality Fracarro K-series processing system, which as well as providing high quality TV terrestrial analogue and digital channels, presents FM and DAB radio to all outlets. The school can also broadcast channels from their own video sources, such as DVD players, tapes or cameras.

Contract £2.5M

Systems Systimax Cat 6, LazrSPEED 300 OM3, iPatch, CPI Patch Frames

Installed Jul – Oct 2009

Project Description

Fidelity International is a world-wide leading investment provider. As part of their UK data centre consolidation strategy, Fidelity required a new Data Centre facility at its HQ facility at Tonbridge. Spread over two underground data halls and two office floors, the project required the installation of 30,000 Cat6 copper links and 11,000 OM3 duplex fibre links to 300 Rittal cabinets and used more than 700km of cable. All links connect to a patch field of 80 x CPI patch frames, each monitored with the iPatch Intelligent patch system. The Data Centre was cabled overhead on three levels of CPI ladder racking. One of the biggest challenges faced by Able Data was to deliver the required high quality of cabling. To work out the optimum cable routing schemes, Able Data built an offsite mock up of a row of patch frames and the associated cables. To speed up installation whilst minimising unsightly cable slack, Able Data single end pre-terminated all copper and fibre links. The entire installation was completed over a 14 week period. As well as building and configuring a 40,000 port iPatch system to manage patching and monitor network devices, Able Data implemented additional bespoke functionality tailored to Fidelity’s requirements, including auto server provisioning.

Project Description

Debenhams has an ongoing program of opening new stores. In each they install a structured cabling system to serve the shop floor tills and pay points as well as the general offices. It is Debenhams policy to use SYSTIMAX PowerSUM cabling throughout. By the nature of shop premises, most of the cabling work is in the ceiling void, requiring the extensive use of platforms. Each store floor will normally have its own cabling cabinet. These cabinets are joined to the master cabinet via either fibre or copper interlinks, depending on the distances involved. Part of this project involved the fast track conversion of three Alders stores to Debenhams in March 2005. This involved the use of three separate cabling teams working on the different sites.

Project

Description

The Corporation of The Church House was founded in 1888 as the Church

of England's permanent tribute to Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. The

Church House, a grade II listed building, is the headquarters of the

Archbishops' Council and all its Boards and Councils as well as of the

Church of England Pensions Board and the National Society. It is the

meeting-place, twice each year, of the General Synod of the Church of

England.

Church House also contains a Conference Centre that provides

accommodation and facilities for a vast variety of events from AGMs,

conferences, dinners and receptions to exhibitions.

Able Data were contracted to install 1500 outlets over 6 floors and the

conference centre. The key challenge of delivering this project was the

complexity of the cable routes. The building is listed and most of the

original features of the conference centre, meeting & conference rooms on

the Ground and Lower Ground floors could not be changed or put in any

risk of being damaged.

Project The Ashmolean Museum, dating from the 17th century, is the oldest public museum in the UK. Award-winning architect Rick Mather created a new building that has doubled the Ashmolean’s gallery space and state-of-the-art facilities. In November 2009, the £61M redevelopment opened to the public. Able Data installed a structured cabling system, consisting of nearly a thousand outlets, spread over 6 floors of the new building extension. Each of the 13 remote patch cabinet locations had a fibre & copper backbone linking to the Basement computer room. As well as the provision of the computer cabinets at each location Able Data supplied & installed an APC UPS & 3Comm Switch. The biggest challenge was the complexity and range of cable routes. Whilst some outlets are located in low floor boxes, others for high gallery points (overhead projectors etc) are at more than eight metres high. Another challenge was fitting cabling around a complex building program; many outlets could not be terminated or tested until after the exhibition cabinets had been installed.
