Case Study - Afghanistan Operation

Our client was appointed to a contract in Kabul and came to us to plan and set up their new office complex and yard facility. This was to be a new facility to be built and installed on an unoccupied site. The plan was for approximately 20 staff at any one time with an Operations Room, offices and living facilities.

Following a site visit during the early stages of the construction in Kabul we drew up plans for the project and agreed the specs and budgets with the principal. It was really important to build in resilience in all equipment supplied. Getting replacements shipped would be difficult.

Primarily we were asked to spec and source all IT equipment required - sourcing anything we needed locally was not an option. In addition to IT and related equipment we also sourced and shipped Gym equipment, Laundry machines, Televisions, Kitchen equipment and a number of other items.

We built all the PC's and servers ahead of shipment to ensure all was working properly before they left the UK.

Once shipped we then went on site and set everything up, this included:

  • Network cabling throughout the site
  • Construction and configuration of the Server Room
  • Install and configure PC's and printers in all offices
  • Set up the Operations Room
  • Install and configure WIFI throughout the site
  • Set up Microwave Internet connections
  • Configure off site data backup
  • Configure remote access to all computers to allow assistance from the UK
  • Regularly maintain the site for the duration of the clients contract
