T108 – technical building equipment (TBE) in the electrical field for the new ECB premises: Passive network structures, Lot 9

File reference number attributed by the contracting authority: T108

Description:
Lot 9 involves the installation of passive IT infrastructure together with the infrastructure required to operate a GSM/UMTS in-house system, and the supply and commissioning of a CATV-based television and antenna system.The double high-rise building with atrium extends to a height (excluding antenna) of approximately 185 m and to approximately 100 600 m² GFA. The wholesale market hall including both wings covers an area of approximately 36 300 m² GFA (above ground) and is a listed building. Furthermore, 2 entrance buildings and a loading yard with a tunnel connection to the wholesale market hall will also be constructed on the project site.The works will be carried out at the high-rise building, the existing wholesale market hall, the underground staff car park and the 'ancillary buildings'. 

Quantity or scope:
The planned construction requires comprehensive, universally useable and future-proof IT cabling. For the ECB-LAN, a highly redundant and highly available passive IT infrastructure will be set up by means of approximately 60 floor distributors, approximately 4 building/site distributors, several highly available computer-centre cells, approximately 3 satellite receiving rooms and approximately 3 site interconnection points to the public network. Furthermore, a second, independent LAN is to be constructed in the interests of safety technology, with comparable structures and components. The primary and secondary cabling to be produced comprises fibre-optic and copper cables in varying proportions and qualities. All workplaces on the floors will be supplied via floor distributors. The supply areas of these distributors will generally span 2 floors. The horizontal supply will be effected via the tertiary cabling at consolidation points in the system floor. These consolidation points will be installed at selected points throughout the system floor. Depending on the role of the consolidation point, approximately 2 to 8 tertiary cables will be terminated. Copperand fibre-optic connecting boxes are to be produced for the security field levels. Pre-fabricated cables with plug connectors for connecting to the consolidation point, and jacks for connecting to IT devices, telephones, TV and radio receivers will be used to supply the ECB-LAN workplaces. These cables will generally be duplex variants. The aforementioned jacks will be installed in desk distributors, floor boxes, flush-mount/surface-mount housings and media columns as a terminal interface. This type of workplace supply guarantees high flexibility in office design and prevents the usual open laying of cables on the system floor, as is the case in conventionally equipped offices.In addition to the building's internal cabling, a large proportion of the cabling on the site is to be installed in cable channels.

The cabling will be based in vast areas on the planning methods of EN 50173 and EN 50174, but will be supplemented in many technical details with useful requirements.In addition to setting up the passive IT infrastructure, a satellite-based CATV infrastructure is to be installed in the buildings, which, in addition to passive elements such as cabling and service cabinets, will also feature active elements (cable head-ends, converter for use of symmetrical tertiary cabling, parabolic antennas). A further element of the work to be carried out is the installation of comprehensive passive infrastructure for the activation of UMTS/GSM services within the buildings.The contract scope involves the supply and operable installation, mainly comprising:
— fibre-optic cabling based on multi-mode and single-mode fibres,
— multipair category-3 copper cabling,
— category-7 tertiary cabling,
— site, building and floor distributors,
— computer-centre areas,
— UMTS/GSM coax cabling,
— GSM/UMTS distribution technology,
— fibre-optic and broadband switching network,
— provider technology rooms,
— satellite-receiving system,
— terrestrial antenna receiving system,
— broadband switching network,
— amplification and converter components,
— SAR cable spreading rooms.
Estimated total volumes for cabling:fibre-optic cable: approximately 150 000 m, multipair copper cable: approximately 40 000 m, category-7 twisted-pair copper cable: approximately 2 350 000 m.
Estimated total volumes for passive components:19" network cabinets and racks: approximately 750 items, approximately 9 000 consolidation points, approximately 37 500 data-connection points, approximately 800 CATV ports, documentation, measuring and quality assurance.
All aforementioned services include the relevant associated ancillary services.
