Location
Project Specification
DNATA contacted Fast Track Communications about a new project that needed full electrical and data cabling solutions for their recently built Banksmeadow location. The main objective was to ensure fast, independent, and quality installations that met DNATA’s specific and nuanced requirements.
Outcome
The Banksmeadow project was completed within a three-week timeline, showcasing our efficiency and dedication to promptly delivering high-quality results. Our key objective was achieved through the successful installation and modernisation of the Banksmeadow facility. This included the relocation and refitting of equipment, installation of new cameras, and the implementation of a more sophisticated and modernised infrastructure designed by Fast Track Communications. Our commitment to high-quality work ensured that DNATA’s new facility was equipped with state-of-the-art technology, boosting their operational efficiency and enhancing their ability to handle complex logistics tasks.
Overall, this project had a significant impact on Dnata’s operations. The new, modernised infrastructure at the Banksmeadow facility enabled DNATA to improve their service delivery, ensuring faster and more reliable logistics solutions. The installation of advanced cameras and Wi-Fi access points enhanced security and connectivity, contributing to a safer and more efficient working environment.
The collaboration between DNATA Logistics and Fast Track Communications illustrates the importance of building trustworthy partnerships for your business. FTC’s capacity to deliver customised, top-notch solutions plays an instrumental role in our ability to provide superior logistics services. This project showcased FTC’s skill and dedication in addressing the specific needs of our client, cementing our status as a reliable and valued partner in the industry.
Process
To fulfil these requirements, FTC delivered a wide range of services for this project, including:
- Upgrading wireless and cabling infrastructure across all locations
- Installing 26 cameras in collaboration with Dnata’s technical guides
- Setting up 26 new Wi-Fi access points and antennas
- Performing all necessary electrical work for the new facility
Being one of the first trades on-site, our team were able to implement better solutions from the start, avoiding the need to retrofit outdated technology. Executing the project required careful planning and precise coordination, especially given the size and complexity of the new Banksmeadow facility. Our team worked closely with DNATA’s technical guides to ensure all installations met the required standards and specifications.
During the installation, we faced an issue with the mounting brackets for wireless access points, which did not fit certain poles as expected. To resolve this, we enlisted our estimator and project manager to work together to create robust makeshift solutions on the spot. This quick adaptation prevented delays and kept the project under budget, demonstrating FTC’s superior problem-solving skills and commitment to delivering quality results.
