Transpower

About them:

Transpower owns and operates the National Grid – the high voltage transmission network connecting areas of generation with towns and cities across New Zealand. In 2017, Transpower relocated their Wellington offices and critical facilities, most notably their National Coordination Centre, to the newly refurbished Dominion building at 22 Boulcott Street, now known as Waikoukou.

What We Did:

As part of this move, TenFour were engaged by Transpower following an RFP process, to complete a phased technology fit-out of Waikoukou as well as their Auckland, Hamilton and Christchurch offices.

Project Objectives:

Due to the critical nature of specific rooms, the technology solution provided needed to be both reliable and functional to ensure Transpower’s high level services and operations were uninterrupted by failure. Critical spares are on hand for hardware failures and in the event of a major event, overflow can be managed by remote sites. Crestron Fusion, asset management software, also allows for remote help desk and device monitoring for quick issue resolution, data collection and reporting.

Final Results:

In total 40+ fully automated Crestron and Polycom Skype for Business meeting spaces were installed; including standard, small, medium and large meeting rooms; collaborative huddle spaces; conference rooms, boardrooms and a simulator room. All meeting spaces are equipped with Crestron Fusion scheduling and 7” Crestron Room Booking touch screens.

While the spaces had various layouts and purposes, TenFour specified standardised equipment to deliver a familiar user experience across all areas. Our solution was based around a centralized system using streaming encoders and decoders to transport all audio, video, control and network connectivity over the structured cabling. Rooms types were based on seating size and equipped for audio visual presentations onto a suitable sized LCD screen. Polycom Group Series codecs with Microsoft RTV Skype for Business licenses were implemented to deliver a full conferencing experience. All components are integrated for easy set up and control via an intuitively designed 10” Crestron Touch Panel that allows end users to conduct meetings efficiently and confidently.

Once installation was successfully completed on all five levels at Waikoukou, TenFour systematically completed installation works at Transpower’s additional sites.

TenFour continue to work closely with Transpower and provide 24/7 support under a service level agreement.

The TenFour implementation team were excellent to deal with. They often went above and beyond what was expected of them in order to ensure all rooms at Transpower’s new building had the AV equipment installed within the tight timeframes.
