Comms Room Design and Build
Network
Intelligence has designed and constructed a complete
range of close controlled environments on behalf of
Clients, architects and fit-out contractors.
Integrating the services of our own ‘in-house’
Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) consultants, Network
Intelligence produces full CAD drawn designs and layouts
for incorporation into the architectural or main contractor
drawing packages
Where the creation of a new comms room is a discrete
exercise by our clients, Network Intelligence operates
as a main contractor taking full design and construction
responsibilities.
Our activities extend to liaising with local authorities
for planning permission and building regulations as
well as with the fire officer and District Surveyor.
Where our clients are tenants in leased buildings we
deal with the landlord and his professional representatives
on their behalf.
The whole scope of room operation and functionality
are considered by our design team; from the utlisation
of the room by IT personnel, the protection of business
critical equipment from water ingress and fire, to the
redundancy of airconditioning and power feeds.
Making the room work practically as well as technically
is a significant part of our design criteria. Co-ordinating
high and low level services, floor and ceiling grid
set-off points, reflected lighting plans and comms cabinet/equipment
positions is an expertise gained from years of experience
of what works and what does not.
Our designs are converted into full specification and/or
tender documentation for issue to the various sub-contractors
either directly by NIL or through a main contractor.
NIL maintains a constant management and quality assurance
role throughout the construction of the room witnessing
the commissioning of systems, the adherence to health
and safety procedures and creation of operating and
maintenance (O&M) manuals.
