Project Management
Secure Transportation can get involved in as much or little as is required. Every client has different needs. We work for companies who have their own teams of network engineers and therefore all that is required is the transportation and rack "n" stack, whilst others will require a full cable trace and audit including patching schedule. From the initial email enquiry or phone call we can appoint a single point of contact to manage a project from start to finish and schedule Teams calls to update the status and how it is progressing. We have worked in most datacentres in the UK and Europe and know them well, but for other locations a full site survey may be required or at the very minimum a walk through video, detailed photos with rack elevations. We can also produce risk assessments and method statements (RAMS) if required.
Warehousing and Pre-Staging
Secure Transportation have two secure pallet racked warehouse storage facilities with offices, both are strategically placed and which serve our growing International portfolio of clients. One is next to London Heathrow Airport and the other is our brand new 2023 Headquarters just 30 mins away at Farnborough Airport. With nearly 10,000sq ft of space we are able to offer long or short term storage, including warehouse build and prep areas and 42u racks with power and connectivity to pre stage client's IT equipment.
