800mm raised floor height
Raised Floor loading12kN/m²
Structural Floor Slab: Ground Floor — 20kN/m² First Floor — 10kN/m²

Fire Strategy

Use of non-inflammable and low-smoke zero halogen materials where possible
No storage (especially of flammable materials) within technical space
Building split into sealed, independent, fire compartments
Very Intelligent Early Warning (V.I.E.W.) detection
Smoke extract system activated by fire alarm
Double-interlocked pre-action dry pipe sprinkler system

Security
Remote 24×7 security monitoring
Full electronic access control system, based on proximity cards with photo and PIN keypads
Biometric Palm-scanners for Colocation areas
Locks on colocation suites and cabinets
Intruder detection system on escape and riser doors

Closed Circuit Television (CCTV)
CCTV monitoring and recording of all access points and circulation areas.

Building Monitoring System (BMS)
Local Operations and Control Centre
Network monitoring system with critical alarm repeating to Regional Management Centre
24×7 local monitoring and logging of temperature and humidity conditions and alarms
Critical alarm repeating to Regional Management Centre
Full perimeter underfloor leak detection linked to building monitoring system

Telecom Infrastructure
Facility designed to accommodate standard rack/cabinets of 2,200mm nominal height
Power is normally distributed underfloor, fibre and copper cabling distributed overhead (fibre within a managed containment system, copper within a heavy duty racking system)
Fibre entry to the building via two independent points

General Facilities
Dedicated loading area — delivery hours 8.00–18.00 (Mon to Fri)
Customer test room (27 m²) and storage area (203 m²)
