Construction connectivity for renewable projects

We connect the offices, camps and stores a renewable project uses during construction. It takes about 8 weeks from survey to handover.

For EPC contractors and owners at mobilization

Engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors buy site connectivity as part of their mobilization scope. PowerChina contracted us for turnkey delivery on three wind farms: Infinity Power’s Ras Ghareb project, Amunet Wind Power and Suez Wind Energy.

Owners also contract it directly. ENGIE did so on Ras Ghareb Wind Energy and Red Sea Wind Energy, and we went on to run IT for both plants.

Once the scope is contracted, the site can be connected before financial close. On Infinity Power’s 200 MW project, we mobilized for PowerChina before financial close, while the site offices were still to be built, so the site had communications from the start of construction.

Our method, step by step

We follow the same steps on every construction site. Each contract sets the details.

Step	What happens
1. Site survey	We survey the site and run a line-of-sight study for the microwave link.
2. Wireless design	A predictive Wi-Fi design and an on-site Wi-Fi survey set the access point layout. We issue the layout to the EPC contractor for cabling.
3. Approvals	We coordinate the military and National Telecom Regulatory Authority (NTRA) approvals for the microwave link.
4. Mast and backhaul	We install a 30 m mast and a licensed microwave link from one of the licensed telecom operators we work with. The client contracts the operator directly, and we add no markup to the connection.
5. Separate networks	Each party on site gets its own network segment, wireless network and bandwidth limit. Visitors connect through a captive portal.
6. Site acceptance test (SAT)	We test the installed network before handover.
7. Handover pack	As-built drawings, IP and VLAN inventory, test reports, port matrix and wireless survey report.
8. Managed service	We run the network after handover, as described below.

About 8 weeks from survey to handover

Our standard programme for a construction-site network has four phases.

Phase	What happens
1. Survey and approvals	Site survey, line-of-sight study, wireless design and the military and NTRA approvals
2. Procurement and civil works	We order the equipment and carry out the civil works
3. Installation	Mast, microwave link, network equipment and access points
4. Commissioning and handover	SAT, handover pack and the start of the managed service

Each contract sets its own programme. The table shows our standard.

On Infinity Power’s Ras Ghareb site, the network went live 7 weeks after the survey.

Separate networks for each party on site

The owner, the EPC contractor, third parties (such as subcontractors) and visitors each get their own network segment. Each segment has its own wireless network and its own bandwidth limit, so heavy use by one party leaves the others their share. Visitors log in through a captive portal.

Every construction site we have connected has had separate networks for the owner and the EPC contractor, with further networks for subcontractors or guests.

Who does what on a typical site

This is the usual split. Each contract sets the final one.

Party	Usually responsible for
Senses Innovations	Site survey and line-of-sight study; wireless design; coordinating the military and NTRA approvals; civil works and the 30 m mast; the active network and access points; SAT and handover pack; the managed service, including fault liaison with the operator
EPC contractor	Passive cabling to our access point layout, rack space and AC power. On some sites, such as Red Sea Wind Energy, Amunet Wind Power and Suez Wind Energy, we installed the structured cabling as well.
Licensed telecom operator	The licensed microwave link service and the internet connection
Owner	Signing the operator’s service agreement and the clearance documents for the approvals

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to connect a construction site?

About 8 weeks from survey to handover under our standard programme. On Infinity Power’s 200 MW site in Ras Ghareb, the network went live 7 weeks after the survey.

Who gets the NTRA and military approvals?

We prepare and coordinate the military and NTRA approvals for the microwave link. The owner signs the clearance documents that the approvals need.

Who contracts the internet operator?

Our client does, usually the owner. The client signs the service agreement with a licensed telecom operator, and we add no markup to the connection. We install the mast and the link equipment, and follow any faults with the operator.

Can the site be connected before financial close?

Yes, once the scope is contracted. On Infinity Power’s Ras Ghareb project, we mobilized before financial close.

How are the owner’s and the EPC contractor’s networks kept apart?

Each party has its own network segment, wireless network and bandwidth limit, and visitors use a captive portal. Every construction site we have connected has had separate networks for the owner and the EPC contractor, with further networks for subcontractors or guests.

What do we receive at handover?

After the site acceptance test (SAT), a handover pack with the as-built drawings, IP and VLAN inventory, test reports, port matrix and wireless survey report.
