The Project

OSN acquired numerous additional channels to add to their pay-to-view subscription services throughout the GCC. To satisfy the growing requirement and service provisions, the project scope included the expansion and relocation of OSN’s live operations including the Central Apparatus Room (CAR). They required a total of 29 additional 42-U racks to be installed, doubling their CAR capacity, as well as a complete overhaul of their existing cooling systems to keep pace with their rapid growth. Alongside this requirement, the channel sought to expand its campus and relocate to its newly acquired building next door in the 5,000 sqm Ten Sport Building.

Our Appointment

We were appointed to plan, manage the design, procure, and execute the delivery of OSN’s campus expansion and CAR extension and renovation. The new offices required the strip out, redesign and fit-out of over 4,000 sqm of office space and 1,000 sqm of studio space on Level 2. In the existing building, the CAR renovation and expansion consisted of the demolition of an existing MCR to allow the expansion of 19 nos. 42-U racks, the removal of all solid partitions, which were replaced with glass, as well as an overhaul of the entire cooling system from DX to cold isle containment fed by N+1 CRAC units. This substantial change and upgrade process was accomplished without interruption to OSN’s pay-to-view broadcasting.
