Climate Resilience & Geo Redundancy for a Telecom Site

A critical telecom site was required to operate 24* 7 without any outage risk. It was an old site situated along the road at a depth of 200 mm below road level. The LT panels, battery banks, and DG sets were on the ground floor, which used to flood during the rains. Another DG set inside the building. The challenge was to protect the site from outages during rains and build in geo-redundancy, which was currently unavailable. The building was old and could not take on additional loads. There was a compound area outside the buildings where there were trees.

Our innovative solution involved constructing a foundation 1 m from the ground for the DG that was kept outside the building. We also proposed creating a new building near the existing one with a raised floor up to 1 meter and shifting the second DG set to the ground floor of that building. One LT panel was shifted to the ground floor of the new building, and the other was moved to the first floor. The battery bank was also turned to the first floor of the new building.   We thus achieved geo-redundancy of the LT panels.  The space planning was done so that no trees were cut, showcasing our commitment to environmental preservation.
