In Brief
This was a large, complex project completed in four phases. Our client was looking to update their current Grade II listed 24 floor office, and expand to a further 18 floor building, connected by walkways. As a global entity, the technology needed to be fully compliant and compatible with the worldwide structure and technology standards. Secure backup in the event of failure was a priority as the systems are needed 24/7 to deal with the worldwide operational demands which include crisis management. Easy-to-use, accessible and powerful communication solutions were required to facilitate collaboration and connectivity between departments and sites both locally and globally. The communication needs were varied and wide-ranging from local digital signage solutions to international broadcasting.
The reception areas of both buildings are impressive yet welcoming with video walls and portrait mounted stretch screens. In the listed building, a bespoke video wall was made up of four 7.8m x 1.7m LG LED displays. The new building has an Exterity IPTV solution distributed via the Barco Streaming distribution System to deliver central management with full flexibility. A dual server redundant solution was installed to ensure continuance of service. Assets located in far-flung locations and the transportation of volatile substances come part and parcel of the operations of this enterprise. This required flexible technological solutions in case crises occur – whenever, wherever and whatever the scale. This fantastic project was completed on time and within budget.
