Fibre Optic CCTV Installation for High-Speed Connectivity
Client Overview
A public sector client required a fast and reliable network to connect a central CCTV server to multiple remote camera locations. The goal was to enhance real-time surveillance and improve public safety across a wide urban area.
Project Scope
The project involved a comprehensive fibre optic CCTV installation to provide high-speed data transmission between sites. This required the construction of a new underground duct system, as existing infrastructure was inadequate.
Key Challenges
Urban Environment: Work was carried out in busy public spaces, requiring careful planning and coordination.
No Existing Ducts: New duct routes had to be built from scratch to house the fibre optic cables.
Regulatory Compliance: All works needed to comply with strict local authority rules and safety standards.
Our Solution
Civil Engineering Works: This required detailed excavation, trenching, and reinstatement to install the new duct infrastructure, working from our survey and carried out by our civils contractor.
Traffic Management: Temporary traffic control systems were implemented to ensure the safety of the public and our workers while minimising disruption.
Fibre Optic Installation: High-grade fibre optic cables were installed, tested, and commissioned to ensure fast, secure connectivity.
Full Compliance: All activities were conducted in line with local authority regulations and health and safety standards.
Results
The project was delivered on time and within budget. The new fibre optic network now supports:
Real-time CCTV monitoring
Faster response to incidents
Improved network reliability
Future-ready infrastructure for expansion
Key Benefits
High-speed, low-latency data transmission
Increased public safety and operational efficiency
Safe and compliant civil works
Minimal disruption in high-traffic areas
