Site Surveys...

In our experience, successful rollout projects will normally have to include incorporate site survey. Whilst this can initially seem like an unnecessary overhead it represents an essential part of the risk management process. When considered against the cost of a failed install during the rollout itself, the business case for surveys in advance of deployment becomes clear. A well-designed survey should be able to capture all the necessary information, allowing issues that could have caused a potentially expensive site failure to be addressed prior to rollout commencement.

Site surveys can be used to examine a number of areas, depending on the end-user environment. Typically, we would look to ensure that sufficient data, power points and desk-space are available (or planned) and that they are in the same approximate location as that where the equipment is required. Health and safety issues would be considered. We would also gather additional information such as the various contact names and telephone numbers, the opening hours, access times, and any special time, date or access restrictions. Finally, we look at logistics considerations. These may include vehicular access, parking availability and restrictions, unloading facilities and on-site storage capacity. After the survey has been completed, an electronic version can be forwarded to you if required.

We also offer specialist cabling surveys covering, for example; asbestos identification and RF networking.
