Network Operations Centres

A network operations centre watches over systems around the clock. HSM builds these control rooms for comfort, focus and reliability with our own crews.

Network Operations Centres

A room that never closes

Operators sit in front of screens for long shifts, often through the night. The room must support concentration, with controlled lighting, low noise, comfortable temperatures and good sightlines to shared displays.

Layout planning is key. Seating rows, console heights and video wall sizes affect each other, so we coordinate with your operations team and the console supplier early.

Technology and resilience

Because the room runs continuously, power and cooling cannot fail. Our electrical crew, led by a Master Electrician, installs dedicated circuits and links to UPS or generator power. Our mechanical crew installs HVAC with enough capacity and redundancy for screens and people.

Our low voltage team installs cabling for consoles, video walls, AV, intercom and surveillance. Access control keeps the room secure.

How HSM delivers this work. Highlighted trades are self-performed by our own crews.

Comfort for long shifts

Operators need break areas, quiet rooms and good air. Ceilings and walls must manage sound from equipment and conversation. Our interior systems team builds acoustic ceilings and partitions, and our carpenters add consoles or built-ins. Finishes should be durable and easy to clean.

Working around live operations

If a control room is moving or being renovated, continuity matters. We plan phased work and, where needed, build a new room alongside the old one before switching over. Allow time for testing the power, AV and network connections with your team before the first shift starts.

A control room has to look calm even when the network is not. Details such as indirect lighting, quiet air movement and good chair-to-screen distances help staff stay alert. Our project managers walk through these choices with your operations lead, and our own carpenters and electricians build them to suit rather than relying on standard office details.
