Project Scope:

We reconfigured CAT A services to accommodate partitioned offices, meeting rooms, and other functional areas. This involved adjusting ductwork, LTHW & CHW services, installing additional FCUs, relocating existing FCUs, and ensuring adequate fresh air supply and extraction. Additional cooling was introduced to meet the demands of high-performance server rooms. Plumbing modifications were also made, including drainage solutions for the canteen area.

For electrical services, the power distribution was reconfigured to align with the tenant’s desk layout, requiring additional power outlets, floor boxes, and dedicated circuits where necessary. The lighting system was redesigned to complement the new office layout, incorporating task lighting, feature lighting, and emergency lighting, as well as advanced controls such as dimming systems and occupancy sensors.

Fire and life safety systems were adapted to the new office configuration, including the relocation of fire alarms, smoke detectors, emergency lighting, and exit signage.

IT and communication infrastructure was upgraded with structured cabling to support the client’s network requirements, along with Wi-Fi access points, security systems, and audio-visual installations. Server room power configurations were also optimized to support high-demand IT equipment.

Security and access control enhancements included the installation of keycard systems, CCTV, intercoms, and door entry systems to improve overall security.

Finally, a comprehensive testing, commissioning, and handover process was carried out to ensure all M&E systems functioned correctly. This included HVAC balancing, electrical compliance testing, and fire safety certification.

Client vision/objectives:

The client's vision is to create a functional, efficient, and future-ready workplace. This includes optimising office layouts, enhancing HVAC and lighting for comfort and energy efficiency, and implementing scalable IT and power infrastructure. Employee well-being and safety are prioritised through fresh air supply, ergonomic lighting, and compliant fire safety systems. Advanced technology, including smart lighting controls and security systems, ensures a modern and automated workspace.

Unique challenges of the project:

This project faced unique challenges in integrating complex mechanical, electrical, and IT systems within an existing infrastructure. HVAC reconfigurations had to ensure efficient airflow and cooling for partitioned offices and high-demand server rooms. Electrical upgrades required precise power distribution, while advanced lighting and fire safety systems needed careful coordination for compliance. The IT setup, particularly in the server room, demanded reliable structured cabling and power reconfigurations to prevent downtime. Security enhancements, including keycard access and CCTV, had to balance protection with user convenience. Finally, rigorous testing and commissioning were essential to ensure seamless functionality and compliance.

Tritech Methods/Innovations:

Our methods and innovations focused on optimising system performance and ensuring flexibility. We used point cloud scanning for efficient HVAC reconfiguration, integrated energy-efficient solutions, and employed flexible power distribution systems for easy adaptation to new layouts. Smart fire detection systems and structured cabling ensured compliance and robust IT infrastructure. Automated testing and commissioning methods ensured all systems were fully functional before handover, ensuring a smooth transition for the client. These approaches balanced efficiency, scalability, and client needs.
