Royal West Sussex NHS Trust - St Richards Hospital(Chichester)

Re-location Computer room to new building.

‘Due to the refurbishment and enlargement of our outpatients’ reception area, we needed to move our main computer room, including all of the associated equipment, to a new location.

The work involved re-routing and terminating fibre, category 5 cabling, electrical work and the provision of a large Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) unit. The equipment was moving 250 metres to a new purpose built location.

As Portsmouth Communications had provided quality advice on our existing voice cabling structure and local area network, we again sought their advice and support. A programme of action was agreed and Portsmouth Communications liaised and arranged for all of the electrical work to be completed, the supply and installation of the UPS and provided additional routes of fibre. This was done in conjunction with the building work taking place and throughout the project we were kept fully informed at every stage. This enabled us to concentrate on other projects.

The simple fact is that Portsmouth Communications made it easy – they provided a managed quality solution within the time frame.

The end result was that the computer room was successfully moved with zero disruption to the hospital.’
