Client: Stables Market| Sector: Commercial| Duration: 3 Months
The project was undertaken in one of London’s busiest and most iconic locations. Subsequently, it involved the building of a new modern commercial office building within Stables Market in the Camden market area. The commercial network cabling was a large part of the refurbishment
Commercial Network Cabling
The office was situated over 3 floors and had over 1000 Cat6 cabling data outlets throughout to the relevant areas for computers, telephones, Wi-Fi, printers and Audio Visual
The Cat6 installation was fully designed to suit the end client’s specification and requirement,s and was completed with full Fluke test results and submission of a manufacturer’s 25 year warranty
Each floor had its own data cabinets, linked via OM4 fibre-optic cabling, and each floor was served by its own dedicated Cat6 data cabling. However, due to the uniqueness of the building those cables, although cabled on a floor per cabinet basis, the data cabling routes didn’t always follow those same floors
Network Cabling Challenges
The commercial network cabling challenges throughout the building were due to the building’s modern design. It consisted of a large proportion of glass partitions and solid wooden floors. The data cabling routes were not straightforward. Firstly, in many cases, it involved running structured cabling along different floors. Secondly, those cables would then enter different parts of the correct floors along their routes. This was instead of direct, easy routes.
This was required as many areas of the floors didn’t have tray work or containment, as it was eliminated for aesthetic,s and therefore some rooms had very unusual routes to reach them
Another challenge was the deliveries in and out of the building. Subsequently, due to certain access restrictions with deliveries to the Market. This involved increased project management. Furthermore, in many cases, this involved bespoke deliveries and working out of hours. Together with all the other challenges, to undertake the structured cabling installation
In conclusion, the project was completed with fully marked-up CAD drawings and cabinet layouts
