Project highlights
Their challenge
For this project, the client approached Salas O’Brien to solve a problem: their mobile subscriber base was exploding and they needed more capacity. The company had an existing telecommunications center in Irvine, California, that needed an additional 3,000 square feet of hardware space. In particular, the center needed auxiliary cabling loads, four new power plants, new HVAC equipment, and more.
Our solution
The upgrade included significant architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical components. Salas O’Brien provided architectural design, construction management, and mechanical, electrical, and fire protection engineering services. Our rigorous approach to weekly project management and our ongoing, on-site construction management were key factors in making this project a success.
The results
Salas O’Brien’s work was completed on schedule and within budget with no impact to the preexisting switch room operations.
