Campus project
Full Structured Cabling Infrastructure
9 Weeks
Our client is a thriving multi-unit Campus to 14 retail units, 3 food & beverage outlets, and a central management suite. With over 42,000 sq ft of lettable space spread across 8 separate buildings, the park attracts high footfall year-round and hosts a wide mix of national and independent tenants.
The park is managed by the property management team, who approached us ahead of a major site redevelopment with a clear objective: replace the ageing, fragmented cabling infrastructure with a single, unified, enterprise-grade structured cabling system capable of supporting all current and future tenant requirements.
8 Units across 42,000 sq ft
Cat6A Copper + Single-Mode Fiber
Underground HDPE ducting between all structures
25-Year Manufacturer System Warranty
Before our involvement, The Campus was operating on a patchwork of legacy Cat5e and Cat5 cabling installed piecemeal over more than a decade. Each unit had been cabled independently by different contractors at different times, resulting in:
Following an initial site survey and consultation with the property management team, we designed and delivered a full structured cabling infrastructure across all 8 buildings — built to last, built to scale, and fully certified to international standards.
01
We installed a single-mode fiber optic ring connecting all 8 buildings back to a newly built central MDF room located in the park’s management suite. Fiber was routed via HDPE underground ducting with draw pits at key junctions, ensuring a clean, protected, future-proof inter-building backbone capable of supporting 10Gbps and beyond.
02
Inside every unit, we installed Cat6A structured cabling to all data and voice outlet positions. Cat6A was selected over Cat6 to support 10Gbps to the desktop, full-length PoE runs for access points and IP cameras, and to provide maximum headroom for the next 20+ years of technology evolution.
03
A dedicated 19″ rack-based MDF room was built within the management suite, housing:
04
Each retail unit received a clean, labelled IDF consolidation point — a wall-mounted enclosure housing the fiber termination, local patch panel, and PoE switch — replacing the previous tangle of unmanaged equipment.
05
Every outlet, patch panel port, and cable run was labelled at both ends using a standardised naming convention. On project completion, we handed over:
The completed infrastructure transformed connectivity across The Campus, delivering measurable improvements from day one:
Week 1–2: Survey, Design & Sign-Off Our engineers conducted a full physical survey of all 8 buildings, confirming cable routes, containment paths, core drilling locations, and underground duct routes. A detailed design pack was produced and approved before any works commenced.
Week 3–4: First Fix — Containment & Underground Ducting Cable trays, trunking, and conduit were installed throughout each unit. Underground HDPE ducting was laid between all 8 buildings with draw ropes in place ready for fiber pulling.
Week 5–6: Second Fix — Cable Pulling All Cat6A copper and single-mode fiber cables were pulled, routed, and secured across 320+ outlet positions. Cables were left with sufficient tail lengths at each end for clean termination.
Week 7: Termination & Dressing Fiber splicing and LC connector termination completed. All Cat6A runs terminated into patch panels and RJ45 keystone outlets. Full cable dressing, bundling, and labelling carried out at both MDF and IDF points.
Week 8: Testing, Certification & Snagging Every copper link tested and certified using Fluke DSX2-8000 analyser. Every fiber link tested using OTDR and optical power meter. 100% pass rate achieved across all 320 links. Minor snagging items resolved within 24 hours.
Week 9: Documentation, Handover & Client Walkthrough Full documentation pack produced and issued. Client walkthrough carried out with the facilities manager and leasing team. All equipment rooms left clean, labelled, and photo-documented.
“The difference is night and day. Before, we were constantly dealing with complaints from tenants about connectivity issues — dropped payments, CCTV going offline, you name it. Since the new cabling infrastructure went in, we haven’t had a single network-related call. The team was professional, worked around our trading hours, and handed over documentation we can actually use. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”
