As part of Norbert Dentressangle’s strive to improve services to customers they invested in a major new facility at Crick, Northampton. The 295,000 square foot Transport Services hub at Crick will replace sites in Northampton and Rowley Regis. Crick will act as an ambient transport hub serving the night and day distribution networks, and a national magazine sortation centre. In addition it will serve as the UK head office.
As part of the major project, Safecontrol were successful in tendering for the network and fibre optic cabling installation. The scope of works consisted of a total of 600 network outlets, 31 wireless access points and over four kilometres of fibre optic cabling linking seventeen network cabinets. The structured cabling system was designed to provide LAN and voice connectivity throughout the site, including the office space, warehousing and workshop areas. Safecontrol worked alongside a number of other trades in what was a multi discipline site. Work commenced on site in November 2013 and was completed in April 2014.
