The Challenge
The client required an upgrade to the electrical infrastructure across an existing commercial office to support changing workplace requirements and the increased use of connected technology.
With employees continuing to use the building, the installation needed to be carefully planned around normal working hours. Existing electrical systems also had to be assessed before new power, lighting and associated infrastructure could be introduced.
Key challenges included:
🔹 Occupied Workplace: Installation work needed to minimise disruption to employees and business operations
🔹 Existing Infrastructure: Existing electrical systems required assessment before upgrade works could begin
🔹 Additional Power: New workstation and general-purpose power was required throughout the office
🔹 Lighting Improvements: Existing lighting needed upgrading to provide a more efficient workplace environment
🔹 Project Coordination: Electrical works needed to be coordinated around other office improvement works
The Solution
DTE planned and delivered a coordinated electrical upgrade designed around the requirements of the existing workplace.
Following an assessment of the electrical infrastructure, our engineers installed additional power throughout key working areas and upgraded distribution where required to support the new installation.
The project also included improvements to the office lighting infrastructure, helping create a brighter and more energy-efficient working environment.
DTE delivered:
🔹 Additional workstation power
🔹 New general-purpose socket outlets
🔹 Electrical distribution upgrades
🔹 New electrical containment and cabling
🔹 LED lighting upgrades
🔹 Emergency lighting
🔹 Power provision for office technology and equipment
🔹 Electrical inspection and testing
