Data Centers IT Design The data centre has become a critical component in all types of organisation. It must be suitably planned and designed so as to allow sufficient guarantees of quality, efficiency and service continuity, regardless of the dimensions and the sector in which it operates. Electrical power distribution systems are fundamental infrastructure for most production processes, and IT infrastructures contribute to determining their performance, for example in terms of safety, reliability and ease of maintenance. Reliability, availability and ease of maintenance are the main characteristics in our IT designs. At SDT we are capable of desiging a data centre, which includes: Network server Calculation and network infrastructure (copper/fibre cabling, equipment) Network operations centre (NOC), including communication and monitoring Electricity distribution and generation systems (UPS, generators) Electrical power panels with overcurrent and overvoltage protection Lighting systems Earthing systems Environmental control, ventilation and air conditioning systems Fire extinguishing systems Access control Equipment cabinets and enclosures Ducting, floating floors, suspended ceilings 5

Client: IDEA Date: 2007-2008 Location: Beirut Central District Data Centre Design Lebanese Parliament house The Project The Lebanese Parliament Building was built in 1900. The building has suffered a lot of damages during the Lebanese civil war between the years 1975 to 1982. The Building was restored in 1982 and outfitted with the present furniture, so it has been around 28 years since the last restoration of this building, although some routine maintenance on its facilities, the Lebanese Parliament Building has become inappropriate to receive official delegations or even to hold international conferences under its wings. The Lebanese Parliament is composed of two Basements, ground floor and three upper floors. The estimated total construction area is around 6,500 m². Our Role Our scope consists of full data centre and monitoring for re-design and renovation of the Parliament Building in addition to the refurbishment of the Deputies Building. We worked closely with the client to meet their requirements. We produced designs that can meet with the latest technologies. The Results Our Data Centre design to the parliament building was a serious approach to the ideal solutions and most cost effective. Our Design was recognised as an international design.
