The Solution
The Caithness Moray project included redundant IP telephony, IP-based public address, including speakers and infrastructure cabling, hand-held radio and satellite phone systems at both Spittal and Blackhillock Converter Stations.
The telecommunications systems facilitates operational voice communications at both sites (predominantly within the Control Building and associated DC, Valve and Reactor Halls) and also out to other locations via trunk circuits as well as connectivity to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) network.
The satellite phone system provides backup to the telephony in the event of system failure.
Despite a difficult delivery due to the challenges of the supply chain, the trust and agility in our capabilities meant the prime contractor wanted to work directly with us on future projects.
