Building infrastructure for the Sixth General Jurisdiction Court of Cassation in Samara
Problem statement
The Sixth Court of Cassation of Samara City is the largest court of cassation in Russia. Nine subjects of the Privolzhsky Federal District fall within its jurisdiction. The overall floor space is 32,000 m². The STEP LOGIC design team was to build digital infrastructure for the court in keeping with current regulations and laws applicable to a site of this category.
STEP LOGIC's objectives
-
Building digital infrastructure for the 23-storey building, which should include automated utility systems and comprehensive solutions to ensure the proper functioning of the court.
-
Designing and implementing a life-support and security system in the building.
-
Building the LAN system and ensuring the security of the network perimeter.
Features
-
Rapid work, most of which was completed within 14 months, which is but half the standard time frame for major projects like this.
-
The building lacked the environment necessary for building such complex infrastructure because it is more than 10 years old and was designed for purposes unrelated to those of courts.
-
The court now uses an automated dispatch control system, which unifies all low-voltage and utility systems and ensures they function effectively.
-
The building's infrastructure is designed in keeping with the regulations ensuring access for disabled people.
-
We have implemented a telecommunication system, which maintains contact with governmental authorities, as well as other specialised services requiring an FSB license for working with classified information.
-
We have installed a digital clock system to create a unified synchronized exact time network.
-
Planning and installing design solutions using BIM and CFD technologies.
-
Installation and launch of a stable and uninterruptible electrical supply system.
-
Installation of AC systems in technical areas.
-
Creating a structured cabling system with 7,500 ports.
Infrastructure management
