The Project

The broadcasting company required 5 Studio’s inclusive of all support facilities, all staff office space, and a level 3 data center. Within this HD facility, all media and data are digital, and no traditional celluloid film is used. As such, at the heart of this cutting-edge installation, the CAR room operates as the brains of the facility, managing broadcasting, recording, editing, processing, storing, duplicating and archiving all data produced and received. The delivery of this facility is considered a mission critical project for Baynounah as ‘going black’ on air is simply not an option for a broadcast business.

Our Appointment

We were appointed to “recover” this facilities upgrade project. The project had been delayed originally following numerous issues, many of which were a result of previous project mismanagement, gaps in processes and adequate planning, and overlaps in appointments and works leading up to our involvement. Projects with critical delivery frameworks already require immense planning and mock trials to ensure the actual change over occurs without service interruption; not only did we manage this process, we carried out audits of the existing plans and current works left incomplete to ensure project success.

The Benefit

Despite having to navigate these project intricacies, our team carried out project works meeting specified requirements successfully. We ensured that a full cause and effect commissioning process be deployed to prove all systems performed as designed and interacted as intended. While this process is lengthy, it is essential to discovering any problems and rectifying them prior to the facility being operational. We installed the tier II / III data center with single path power and cooling distribution systems, with redundant components such as UPS battery installations, generator and cooling circuitry, providing 99.741% availability at all times. Our work received considerable acclaim by the client and the multinational partners we worked alongside and managed.
