refurbishment project of The South Central Ambulance Service in Winchester and needed an experienced, reliable electrical contractor to take on the demanding roles of designers, consultants and installers for the various new critical installations. SMART was there to help

A CRS CASE STUDY

Smart were engaged by one of the leading suppliers of networking equipment and network management for the Internet to assist with the deployment of their CRS1-16 Core Routers across a number of major European cities.

Smart’s involvement within this project was for the supply of resource and materials to:

Project Manage

Survey

Installation

Configuration

For this project the Client arranged delivery of each Cisco CRS16 to the site, with Smart having responsibility for relocating the Cisco CRS 1-16 to the footprint within the data centre from the loading bay.

During the survey of the Paris data centre, Smart raised concerns as to the maximum loading the existing raised floor would be able to safely accommodate.

Smart were then asked by the client to undertake further investigations to ascertain the implications of the proposed installation.

Smart engaged a Structural Engineer to undertake a detailed survey in direct relationship to the raised floor, the building fabrication and the site access to confirm the viability of the proposed installation.

CRS1-16 In final Location

As a result of the Structural survey it was ascertained that with a maximum existing floor loading of 500kg and a fully loaded CRS1-16 weighing in at 750kg some additional works would have to be undertaken to facilitate the installation.

Smart then worked closely with the Structural Engineer, the client and the management department of the Paris data centre to design, install and test a suitable strengthened floor support solution to permit the installation of the CRS1-16.

Upon completion of the alterations to the raised floor Smart continued with the installation of the CRS1-16 including:Siting of the CRS1-16 on the footprintInstallation and connection of the DC power connectivity, First power up, Configuration,Final testing, Hand over
