Designing Pathways and Spaces

How are equipment rooms designed, with whose input?  The traditional boiler plate design no longer meets the requirements of today's IT infrastructures.  The systems we recommend are designed to reduce space requirements, maximize network reliability, and provide for a flexible infrastructure.  With cabling technology advancements, we incorporate modularity and scalability into a design geared to facilitate migration, changes, and future growth.

Harbinger will coordinate the planning of architectural and engineering issues associated with the telecommunications system’s infrastructure, including entrance facilities, equipment rooms, data centers, telecommunications rooms and pathways.  All engineering issues, such as heat, power, floor loading, core drilling, work outlet and power outlet locations, conduit, and raceway layouts, are all part of our design deliverables that will be coordinated with the consultants, engineers, and architects. 

Harbinger Communications works closely with owners, clients, architects, MEP consultants, and general contractors to design, document, and build telecommunication infrastructures.  We use the latest software tools to design, illustrate, communicate ideas and to give direction to the field. We subscribe to the National CAD Standard, thereby, offering greater efficiency in the design and construction process.
