Summary

The UPS Upgrade Project involves the design, documentation, and delivery of an extensive upgrade to the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems across the complex. This initiative includes preparing a business case justification for capital works expenditure to facilitate the project and developing a consultant briefing document suitable for RFP and engagement regarding the design and modifications of the UPS systems throughout the facility. The project entails auditing existing systems that serve various data hubs, security and communications areas, and gaming zones to assess battery autonomy, duplication needs, and the age of the systems. Furthermore, it involves engaging suppliers and coordinating the timely delivery of orders to align with the upgrade program, as well as determining the optimal locations for new systems, including UPS units or battery banks, while coordinating with existing infrastructure. The project also requires managing installations, cut-overs, and testing of the newly installed systems. Challenges associated with this project include executing cut-overs in operational spaces, addressing spatial and weight considerations for new equipment, and navigating the complexities of a high-risk, high-profile project within the organisation.
