HEI Telecommunications
SUCCESS STORIES & REFERENCES
RECENT PROJECTS


West Capital Project
Santa Fe, New Mexico

 

HEI provide the Layer I telecommunications design for this new state building.  The design was generic in nature to provide maximum use of the space a yet be flexible to any agency to move in.  The Architectural design of the building and the furniture layout is for the most part open.  Raised floor system is the pathway for all the modular furniture layouts.  HEI established ladder rack system in the telecom rooms to preparation for the 1700 new category 6 data lines being installed.  The installation included both fiber and copper backbone.  With HEI’s previous experience on the campus the installation of the campus backbone back to the State Library is already established in a current conduit system.  The escalation of the construction schedule has lead HEI to pull its labor resources together to try and meet the 3-month completion time. 


City of Santa Fe

City of Santa Fe IS Department’s requirement for their new infrastructure roll out was to provide a cable system that allowed for maximum flexibility between voice and data connections.  HEI worked with Krone to provide an alternative solution using their Ultim8 blocks.  This cabling solution allows for data and voice to be on the same termination blocks and with the move of a cross connects or patch cords voice can become data and data can become voice lines.   Siler Road Public Works was the first complex that presented the first challenge: no communication room was available for the new system.  Working with Holocom Company and their in-wall telecommunication cabinets we were able to frame in a wall in a central location to provide all the room for the new cable plant.  Siler Complex install was 200 voice and data lines, fiber optic and copper backbone to two additional buildings.  This designed continued to the Police Administration Building with 274 data lines connecting three floors.  Waste Water Treatment was also re-cabled with 138 new cables over a four building complex.  We work closely with our customers and listen to their needs and requirements.   Using our resources of manufacturers we can provide a variety the solutions.

Office of Cultural Affairs
Administration Building
Santa Fe, New Mexico

This project install is 116-voice and data lines category 6 throughout the building.  Due to the construction layout there is three telecom rooms.  Each room will be link with copper and fiber optic cable. New equipment racks, ladder rack and ceiling supports are all part of the installation. HEI will be providing a 20-year manufacturer warranty to the project and provide final as-built of each jack locations.  Because HEI has the capability to fusion splice fiber optic cable HEI will be re-routing the current fiber cable to reflex the change in the equipment layout of the campus. 

Office of Military Affairs 
Patriot Training Center
Rio Rancho, New Mexico
This project was our first with Military Affairs.  The install included voice, data and copper/fiber backbone to be installed.  One issue, that HEI was able to address quickly with a solution, was the architectural design of the building was industrial and open exposed ceilings.  Because of this a pathways were not established during construction for the telecommunications. HEI was able to install a 4”x4” cable tray system the length of the hallway to provide an industrial pathway that concealed the cables as well as give the capacity for future growth.  AutoCAD drawing were provided and a 20-year Siemon warranty.

National Hispanic Cultural Center
Albuquerque, New Mexico
Phase II finished in 2003 included the install of campus backbone of fiber optic and copper back to the dmarc.  Install also included 140 voice and 124 data lines install throughout the new construction of the Auditorium.  With the state of the art audio system being installed HEI provided fiber optic connections to 16 audio locations.  HEI staff installed new ladder rack system in the MDF of the new building as well as new rack system. 

Phase I project finished in 2000 involved both new construction and existing buildings to bring higher speed networking.  Fiber optic and telephone cable was installed between buildings.  One hundred and fifty-eight data lines, sixty-four fiber optic terminations, and three-hundred pair termination of copper backbone which was installed throughout the three building campus.  Lockable cabinets were installed at each IC.  The MDF received a 7’ relay racks to accommodate all the new lines being installed.


Human Service Department
Wisznia Building
Albuquerque, New Mexico  

The HSD requirement of this building was state of the art, category 6 cables for voice and data as well as fiber optic to the desktop.  211-lines of category 6 cables and 101-fiber optic lines were installed at this location.  HEI worked with the building owner and HSD to deliver the highest quality infrastructure that would provide for the their current and future network speeds.  During construction HEI was able to provide an alternative faceplate that meet the needs of the HSD requirements as well as the building issue of narrow wall depth on the pre-fabricated wall construction.  A 25-year Ortronic manufacturer warranty insured quality and workmanship.  HEI staff installed all the racks, ladder rack, and phone blocks for the new telecom room.  AutoCAD drawings were provided on site as well as electronic record for ease of MAC work.  Working for the Office of Communications HEI was chosen also to install the campus backbone of copper and fiber to feed the new building.  Coordination was needed for a weekend cut of the existing copper cable plant to move to the new building backbone.  HEI spliced new cable into place to allow for cross-connecting to flow seamlessly with the switch contractor.  This project shows our ability to work with several contractors and agencies to provide a final product that was delivered on time and in budget.

Gallup State Police  
This project utilized both the telecommunications department and the security department of HEI to provide a full turnkey project.  Installation included sixty voice and data lines providing a 20-year Siemon warranty.  Security included card access system for five entrances and video system with two outdoor cameras.

Department of Labor  
The Department of Labor on Mountain Rd in Albuquerque needed to abandon their under-carpet data network.  HEI was happy to be the contractor for the job.  This location had the challenge of high ceiling and existing open modular furniture.  We met the challenge with multi-user telecommunications outlet assembles that could accommodate six workstations with voice and data.  This helped minimize the number of outlets in the furniture raceway.  This was a total of seventy-nine data lines.  All the data lines were terminated on a patch panel to a wall-mount rack, this allowed for more floor space in the telecom closet for additional equipment.

State of New Mexico
Game and Fish
Santa Fe, New Mexico
New building which included three hundred and seventy-five voice/data lines and copper and fiber backbone between telecom rooms.  The data lines were category 6 and voice was enhanced category 5E.  This project included install ladder rack in two telecom rooms to accommodate their current and future needs.  4000 series raceway was used in the “open” floor plan area, which we were able to use Siemon faceplates and jacks to complete a clean esthetic look to the project.

Sandia Laboratory Federal Credit Union
Albuquerque, New Mexico  
Sandia Laboratory was expanding their existing building and in the process moved their entire communication room to one new area of the building.  Pathways had to be established to accommodate all the cables for three floors originating from one point.  New category 6 cables were installed throughout the existing and new construction area. New backbone cable was install for their telephone system.  An entire new communication room was installed to include new racks, ladder rack and voice 110 blocks.  The number of installed lines was over 1,100 using the Siemon max jacks and patch panels. Many timelines were set forth throughout the project including modular furniture schedules, system moves, and departmental moves that our crews were able to meet.
