DESCRIPTION OF WORKS
The works detailed in this specification are to be carried out to St Martins Place. St
Martins Place is a three storey Office Building comprising two wings and a core
area. The East Wing is approximately 660m and the West Wing is approximately
1100m. The building is a concrete frame structure with a brick external facade. The
Building was built circa 1991. An open basement car park is located under the
entirety of the building.
The majority of the electrical installation is original and was installed circa 1991.
However, various refurbishments and modification works have been undertaken
through the years.

Ref: 130743
The works at St Martins Place are to be undertaken in a phased manner to allow

staff to be relocated. Therefore the building will be occupied throughout the Contract
Period. It is envisaged that the phasing will be undertaken as follows:

Reception and Core Areas
As the works are carried out, the phased areas will be cleared of occupants, desks
and equipment, clearing by others. In the East Wing, the entire floor will be cleared
and this area will be deemed a Construction Site and will be managed by the Main
Contractor. As the West Wing is split into two areas, the Contractor shall allow to
provide and erect suitable temporary hoarding to separate the occupied and
Construction Site. The hoarding shall be of a suitable construction to omit any noise
transmission, to protect the Site and to avoid disruption to the occupants working on
the floor.
As areas of the building will be in use whilst works are carried out and the Main
Contractor shall take appropriate measures in terms of noise and managing the risk
of disturbance and disruption to the existing building users. The Contractor shall
allow for liaison with the Client so any disruptive works or services shutdowns are
carefully coordinated as to not affect the normal running of the building. The
Contractor shall give the Client at least 24 hours notice of any services shutdowns
prior to work commencing.

existing small power circuits such that each desk cluster is fed by a single small
power circuit. To this end the Contractor may reuse as much of the existing system
as possible. However, no joints will be accepted within the small power circuits and
it is the Contractors responsibility to verify socket positions and quantities of new
sockets and circuits within their tender. Our drawings indicate a possible circuit

present at the desk. The charging circuit shall be controlled on a wing by wing basis
as follows.
A new 24 hour 7 day two channel digital controller shall be provided at each
ground floor riser cupboard. This controller will set the time and day for
which the charging circuit will be active. Therefore the west and east wing
will have individual controllers, (2No in total)
The new controllers will switch a controlling contactor (NC) such that it
energises new contactors at each floor.
New contactors shall be installed adjacent to the new distribution boards and
will be sized and rated to switch 230V supplies. These local contactors will
switch the charging circuits on, thereby supplying the dedicated socket
outlets.
When the allocated time has elapsed the time controller will switch the
control circuit to the off position thereby de-energising the contactors on
each floor and switching off the charging circuit.
The charging circuit will have dedicated desk modules (part of the furniture
package) that will connect to a desk mounted 13A socket. This will be used for the
charging of mobile devices.
Under no circumstances shall mutli-pole contactors be used to switch neutral
conductors.
All contactors shall be suitably rated for the switching of the connected load and
shall be normally closed such that the failure of the contactor energises the circuit.
The Contractor shall allow for the installation of all wiring in between contactors and
any containment and supplies as required to design, supply and install the above.
All cabling shall be in FP200 or BICC multicore.
Allow for all conduit and any additional trunking or tray to achieve the required
containment of electrical and communications installations.
Containment shall be run concealed wherever possible. With the exception of
perimeter skirting trunking. Drops to final terminations shall be concealed within the
buildings fabric or within surface mounted dado trunking drops.
Page 9 of 33
Ref: 130743
All containment and supports shall be galvanised steel. Include all fittings, draw
boxes, saddles, etc and all fixings to the fabric. Use appropriately rated
containment, cable glands and cable types where electrical services are run
externally.
The Contract Administrator shall require a full set of cable calculations for the
proposed works prior to works being undertaken on site. Cable calculations shall be
provided in Amtech or Hevacomp format.
All containment shall be installed with adequate space around the installation to
allow future modification of the cables.

approved.
The Cat 5e structured cabling to be installed shall serve the data network, telephone
network, BMS and wireless network where necessary.
Provide all containment, cables, back boxes, face plates, outlets, patch panels,
terminations, inspection and testing to provide a COMPLETE system. Pull and
terminate each cable at either end and inspect and test each data cable between
the patch panel position and final outlet.
Patch leads and final patching of the cabinets will be provided by others.
The cable to be installed shall be LSOH and shall be routed from the cabinet
location to the outlet location via basket/containment and routes.
The majority of outlets to be installed are in Quadruple plates but where density or
specific usage dictates will be doubles. These are to be presented in single/double
gang back boxes respectively with the modules mounted in faceplates defined as
part of the design. As MK or equal and approved.
Each wing has its own dedicated IT room where all cables shall be presented, each
cable shall have a 2m flex and shall be terminated either end, RJ45 male at patch
end and into the final outlet. A full Cat 5e permanent link Class D test shall be

protective sock on cable bundles where necessary in the cable run. The test results
are to be documented electronically with the cable ID corresponding to the
identification label at the installed outlet and supplied to the Network Manager on
CD. Further to this an Excel spreadsheet is to be supplied with details of the
cabinet locations patch panel layout, detailing the room numbers or zones that each
port is wired to as well as record drawings are to be issued with the test results A
current calibration certificate for the test equipment used is also required.
Each outlet shall be identified and labelled showing the room number of the
communications rack, patch panel number and port number of the patch panel e.g.
