New Build Caerphilly Mountain

Comprising of Cafeteria to the ground floor, with bicycle workshop to rear,

And bicycle showroom to the upstairs mezzanine floor.

Warm white lamps installed throughout the ground floor cafeteria areas to create a warm atmosphere.

For the upstairs showroom, Daylight white lamps are not only known to lift people’s moods, but in this instance were utilised for their ability to make the vibrant colours of the bikes stand out against the grey background colour.

Also the higher lumens output of the daylight lamps are put to good use for the bicycle mechanics in the workshop area downstairs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Decorative lighting to the exterior of the building is switched via Dusk to Dawn sensors.

Lighting within the workshop, store, and toilet areas is all via Occupancy sensors.

All other lighting within the building, including the ten exterior LED floodlights

Is switched via a bank of Rako switch and dimming modules.

 

 

 

 

An additional Rako RMR-VF was installed to interface between the lighting and the Burglar Alarm Panel (installed by others).

This automatically switches various lighting circuits in the event of the burglar alarm being activated. Enabling the HD cameras to capture all movements in full colour.

Also a port forwarding account was setup, and the broadband router reconfigured for remote access.

The Rako App is configured with Custom Bridge Settings which allows the customer full access to all light switches over a 3G or 4G Connection.

Retaining the fluidity of Kitchen and Dining areas, and into the Garden.

Computer Controlled Door Entry System

 

 

 

 

 

 

A small part of larger rewiring works to an office reception area.

An upgrade to a previous system of a ten digit keypad for entry only. with the existing four digit code having been in circulation for many years.

The customers remit was for a modernised system whereby staff can be assigned and revoked access simply from a central system, whilst also providing an electronic roll call in the event of the building being evacuated.

This new system comprises two small proximity readers on either side of the door. Utilising the same plastic RFID Keytags used with the cheaper systems, this one has a Take On Reader connected directly to the reception PC, which together with an easy to use piece of software, enables any staff member to easily assign individual tags to each member of staff, with the ability to revoke access to individual personnel if required. Also the software has the capability to assign individual doors & personnel with different security access levels. The system is capable of remote access as well as expansion if required (up to 128 Doors).

Upgrade Distribution Board to meet Fire Regulations

 

 

 

 

 

A recent Electrical Installation Condition Report on this domestic property found that although the plastic consumer unit wasn’t unsafe, it didn’t comply with newer Amendment 3 of the 17th Edition Regulations (July ’15). Which now requires that domestic installations have Fire Rated (Metal) Consumer Units. Incidentally on inspections to older installations, it’s only regarded as a C3 Fault if the position of the unit forms part of an escape route, or under stairs. As was the case with this property.
