JP Morgan Chase, like all other major financial institutions, relies heavily on the total availability of its systems and premises. Any down time that can be avoided results directly in cost reduction to the bottom line. Unidata has undertaken many electrical and structured cabling projects for the bank within this past decade, each one with its own challenges to keep JP Morgan Chase operating without interruption. Some highlights of the diverse projects undertaken are detailed below:

JP Morgan requested Unidata to investigate the possibility of completely renewing the existing Data Cabling Infrastructure on two of their main Dealing floors, whilst keeping them fully operational. On one floor, some 650 positions were renewed, each with 18, 4 pair, Category 5e UTP cables, whilst the other floor had 350 positions, each requiring a full complement of UTP, 12 core Multimode Fibre and Voice grade Dealer Turret cables. In all, some 1,000,000 metres of cable were installed, with the delicate task of removing the old being completed after the cut-over of services took place.

Unidata won the prestigious project to supply and install a Standby Generation test facility, to be installed on the roof of the premises. In all, 5, 420kW load banks along with all associated switchgear and sequence controls were installed, as Unidata also undertook to provide all necessary building works associated with the project.Co-ordination and integration was paramount on this project as mounting the units on top of a 20 storey building, in the centre of London, without causing disruption to either the bank or the local community, was of ultimate concern.

6th Floor Dealing - Complete electrical installation to provide electrical services to 500 dealing positions including specialist dealer station lighting.
