Client: Rowberry Morris | Sector: Solicitors| Duration: 1 Month
Rowberry Morris are a solicitors company with several offices based in Reading, Richmond and Tadley
Due to an upgrade to a VOIP Telephone system in the Reading and Staines offices new Cat5e cabling was required throughout both buildings
Due to the nature of the business all these works were carried out of hours over several weeks of overnight working requiring the data cabling installation and replacement of the office to its working condition for the next day.
The Cat5e wiring in both buildings were of totally opposite requirements
The Reading office is located in a listed 16th Century House, previously incorporated as a Village Inn
Due to the listed nature the structured cabling installation had very specific rules and requirements with regards to routes, drilling and containment of the data wiring
Special considerations where given to the timbers and structure of the building due to their listed nature.
As the photos show the building shows its age and character and everything was done to maintain the aesthetics and credibility of this structure
The Staines office was of a more straight forward data cabling installation.
Located in a main room of shops and commercial buildings the building consisted of 3 floors.
The upper two floor were solid ceiling requiring data cabling trunking to be installed throughout to run the Cat5e cables
There was after a need to work within the building loft to route IT cabling on the upper floors.
Once again all work were undertaken overnight to minimise disruption to the business

Client: Schaltbau | Sector: Transport | Duration: 2 Months
Schaltbau is a electromechanical components and systems producer for transport and industrial applications
The new office and warehouse unit based in Rooksley, Milton Keynes was designed with a high specification structured cabling system employing Cat7a throughout and Om4 fibre cabling links between server and main data cabling cabinets
Due to the high data cabling installation and termination requirements of Cat7a cabling, specific care was taken in the design, installation and positioning of the data cabling outlets
The Cat7a data cabling would be employed for the Telephone Systems, IT Systems, WIFI and DECT Phone base stations
As the property was part offices and part warehouse space, data cabling was required to be installed from electric scissor lifts at 8m working heights. This would be required for running the data cabling to the WIFI and DECT access points
The Office space was only aesthetically refurbished so part of the data cabling design for NM Cabling was how to incorporate the containment for running and terminating the Cat7a structured cabling
A range of dado and maxi trunking was employed for this purpose
The installation of bespoke containment and shrewd design allowed the Cat7 cabling to maintain its bend radius and allow for correct termination at the user end
One of the challenges with cat7 cabling installations is the correct containment, pre designed routes and allowances which needed to be overcome on this project
Upon completion of the data cabling installation and termination the testing was undertaken with a specific Cat7 cabling tester. The last unique element of this project and any Cat7 cabling project

Client: Stadium Wireless / Broadgate | Sector: Office | Duration: 5 Months
Cabling installation for the wireless internet (WIFI ) systems through the 50 floors and 4 Basements of the Leadenhall Building, in cooperation with Stadium Wireless, NM Cabling installed the fibre optic backbones, localised copper cables and Wi-Fi units for the WIFI installation partner
The wireless network was for the coverage of the maintenance engineers and support staff of the building. This involved the cabling having to also being installed on the outside of the building to cover the window cleaning staff
The Wi-Fi system was specified by XIRRUS and a total of 250 hotspot access points were installed.
Internal and external wireless access points with separate coaxial antenna's were installed. These were placed in the outer skin of the building where there was a suspended walkway around each floor up to the 45th
The challenge of the project was the sheer size of the building and having to work over so many floors for the majority of the installation.
Fibre optic cables had to run from the 3rd Basement to floors 15,30 and 45 which involved, in the worst case scenario, 48 riser doors to access and install through
The main communications room was based in the 3rd basement and supplied 4 basement areas.
A combination of scaffold towers, scissor lifts and boom lifts were required to further enhance the complexity of the project.
The outside public areas were also covered by the wireless internet so that employees, visitors and staff using the communal garden space could login in, learn about the building and access free internet services

This 2 bedroom luxury Apartment in Knightsbridge, London incorporated 6 Televisions and 8 Audio zones including bathroom televisions and music
Due to the minimalistic design not one element of the audio visual system was placed in the rooms but rather in a central communication area and distributed over Cat6 cabling to each room for Television, and audio.
This allowed each of the televisions to hang as “picture frames” and have no sign of wires or controllers
Due to a limited amount of space for storage and design, the entire communications system was located centrally and distributed HDMI over cat6 freeing furniture for use rather than storage of AV equipment and leads
It also allowed the 6 televisions to share the incoming satellite signals and channels
Mirrored Bathroom Televisions were installed to use as vanity mirrors and then as a television linked to the main central communications for a choice of Sky and Foreign Satellite and well as linking to the central music library
Stealth speakers were used throughout the whole house so not a single speaker could be seen. These speakers were installed in the fabric of the building, plastered over and then painted along with the rest of the room to completely hide the speakers without reducing sound quality
A Nuvo sound system was installed throughout, each room having a colour keypad showing the central music library by album cover, song, genre and even with a party mode for instant play throughout
These control units shared a central library enabling everyone to play separate music on call from a local source

Luxury Yacht Audio Visual Marine Installations: The Wellesley Yacht is an extension of the luxury Wellesley Hotel in Knightsbridge and was designed in the same style, design and attention to high quality finishes and systems
The entire boat was entirely refurbished and NM Cabling’s remit was to install a distributed Television and Audio system throughout the 4 Bedrooms, Saloon and Games room
The focus was on being able to create a high end system that could also be contained into the small confines of a yacht
The yacht was also refurbished in Loana, Italy to add to the challenge
To distribute the 6 satellite boxes throughout , a 8 x 8 Wyrestorm Matrix was incorporated and everything was communicated using HDMI over Cat6 systems. This gave the yacht flexibility and the ability to upgrade from one central point
This was all contained within one central control cabinet
Centrally based Sonos was used for the audio system due to its ability to be flexible and the ease of use for guest charters , such as being able to play their own music directly onto the system as well as use the central music library
Special attention was also given to the speakers throughout the boat and any equipment that was fitted. All speakers had to be marine grade due to high exposure to salt and the elements.
All the equipment had to be firmly secured and bolted down, including control leads due to the nature of the excessive movement of the boat during transport and the possibility of equipment jarring loose.

Client: Digital Avenue | Sector: Event Wifi | Duration: 1 Month
For the 2014 Poppy appeal DIGITAL AVENUE installed a WIFI system throughout the outskirts of the Tower of London so that visitors could log onto cloud WIFI, learn about the event and make donations
WIFI units were placed around the entire Tower Moat railings, to which each required a Cat6 data cable back to central data switches which were linked by fibre optic cabling back to the main controller
The work had to be carried out under strict guidelines from the Towers facilities team due to the delicate nature, historical listing and corrosion of the old existing structure
Great care also had to be taken to work alongside the team of volunteers who were planting the display flowers at the same time as the cabling was installed
To access the final WIFI locations on these railings surrounding the Tower, bespoke fixings and solutions had to be resolved as no drilling or fixings were permitted to the wall of the moat. However the installation had to be sturdy enough to prevent a breakdown, or accidental damage to the cable
To prevent damage by rodents, steel tapered armoured fibre optic cable had to be used which brought its own complications due to the increased technical nature in installing the cable especially without the ability to clip the cable to the external walls as it was installed

Client: Excell Group | Sector : Aviation | Duration: 6 Months
Excell Group are the telecommunications provider for Avtrade and for their new head
office in Sayers Common, NM Cabling were procured for the data cabling works
throughout the warehouses, offices and plant rooms.
The project expanded into the cabling then being installed for the CCTV, door entry, Wi-Fi and PA systems for each of the hardware providers
The installation within the warehouse was all high level off boom lifts and scheduled in with a busy fit out of the warehouse racking and equipment and well as the construction work of other trades in the area
The presence of the warehouse racking, created some project management considerations regarding the location of cabling, the ability to run the cabling on the tray, around and through the racks and the limited amount of space to work in
The offices were installed using a grommet and GOP box design.
This allowed the cabling to be brought up inside the desks and then the ability to put the cabling back down into the floor and allow for flexibility in office desk layouts
There were also fibre optic cabling links throughout the building and location to link to front gate entrances and link to Phases 2-4 of the site.

VoIP System Installation Westminster Abbey
In 2014 LBMW decided to upgrade their existing telephone system to a VOIP system.
Due to old legacy cabling there was a requirement to upgrade the existing data cabling infrastructure to a Cat6 system over 5 floors
A satellite cabinet was placed on each floor and linked over fibre optic cabling backbones to the main communications room
From these cabinets local wiring was installed to the desk locations for Computers and Telephone connections
The works involved a high level of project management as all works had to be conducted out of hours with special attention to events on at Westminster Abbey when noisy works of any kind and deliveries had to be avoided.
Also the ground floor panelling was listed so creative routing was required in these areas for the installation
The works were completed over a series of weekends - ahead of schedule
