Data Networks, CCTV & Fire Alarm — Administrative Complex Sheikh Zayed
A 3-floor administrative complex with 12 offices, 2 meeting rooms, and a reception area. Requirements: high-speed data network, comprehensive CCTV, and fire alarm for all floors.
The complex needed full CCTV coverage with zero blind spots, plus a data network capable of supporting 50+ simultaneous users without speed degradation.
Cabling was constrained by existing suspended ceiling routes and conduits, requiring precise planning to avoid interference with the complex's AC systems.
