It appears to us that our efforts reflect the latest National trend in shared use facilities. Reliable power resulting from two separate power feeds from the city, each from a different substation. Two separate transformers, two separate UPS systems, two separate banks of batteries, two separate Caterpillar Diesel generators and 10,000 gallons of fuel in an underground tank. All redundant devices are physically separated to prevent a common exposure to external elements that could cause a failure. The facility will have a full-time electrician on staff to monitor all critical systems.
Communications cables enter the facility through two separate banks of conduit.
The facility has dedicated telephone switches on-site. Two levels of cable trays, one for fiber and one for copper helps to assure good cable management. The entire facility is located on one floor level, except for the mezzanine, which houses communications and mechanical equipment. There are no ramps or steps. The loading dock has an adjustable leveler to accommodate any size truck.
