Capabilities and Experience

Sports Facility ITS We provide Clients with a unique level of service due to our knowledge of all aspects of the

facilities technology including security, revenue collection, environmental control, broadcast,

advertising, media connectivity and life safety systems, together with private and public wired

and wireless broadband access. These can be run on a common network infrastructure which

provides an excellent return on investment through its flexibility to accommodate new

technologies and revenue streams as they develop.

Tuckers Consultancy are able to draw on the knowledge and experience of key BICSi RCDD

professionals who understand both IT and building installed systems. They are augmented by

our close knit team of technologists located at our main office in Canary Wharf, London and a

world-wide network of contacts. We have network, mechanical and electrical design, CAD and

BIM (Building Information Modelling) expertise in house.

Our Consultancy services are tailored to the needs of our Clients and range from strategic to

detailed design, quality control, project management and operational training on new builds. For

existing facilities we can provide capacity reviews, resilience audits and energy efficiency

improvement studies.

Our advice is based on extensive experience but with reference to applicable standards and

recommendations such as published by ANSI/TIA and BICSi

Tuckers Consultancy have no partnership agreements with any vendor or manufacturer. Our

business model does not rely on selling products so we always take a completely independent

view on what is best for our customer.

Case Studies

Training Centre for English Premiership Football Club

Through close consultation with the Client we identified all the technology systems that would

be required to support this world class training centre including security, player performance

monitoring, audio visual, teaching aids, staff data network, media broadband and broadcast

connections, internal environmental control, lighting control and irrigation systems. A strategy

was then developed to run all these systems on a common IP platform. Specifications for the

cabling, equipment accommodation, network hardware and all other parts of the ITS network

were then provided to the Contractor and implementation targets identified to enable networks

to be live in time for building commissioning. Finally the work was supervised and signed off on

completion.

Page 2 of 2 The network in the training centre and academy building exceeded 1200 outlets and the

campus fibre cabling was more than 11kM in total. However this has proved to be much

cheaper to install and run than a myriad of bespoke private networks.

New stadium for English Premiership football club

We have identified the technology systems required in this world class new stadium including

security, revenue protection, PoS (Point of Sale), life safety, broadcast and broadband media,

broadcast and private network TV, environmental and other digital systems. A means of running

these on a common IP network has been identified and an outline design developed to enable

spaces and infrastructure to be planned into the development, this should avoid the problems

that have occurred on previous similar projects where the ITS has not been incorporated in the

overall design.

Detailed design of the ITS systems is due to commence shortly.

ITS into old football stadium

Various designs have been developed and implemented over the past few years to enable this

dated stadium to continue to function with new technologies such as wireless data access, 3D

TV broadcasting and IP based security systems.

In particular the club’s qualification for the Champions League generated an urgent requirement

to accommodate up to 200 reporter stations, each of which required analogue, ISDN and

broadband connections. Due to space and length restrictions these could only be

accommodated by innovative use of multi-pair standard data cables.

New stadium for lower league English football club

This project is due to commence construction soon and Tuckers Consultancy have been

engaged for some time to help develop the Facilities Technology elements of the design. The

procurement has been delayed by funding issues so it is important that the ITS infrastructure is

flexible to accommodate technology developments such as public wifi, public address and

broadcaster facilities.

We will commence final design shortly and we have provided the Client with confidence that the

pathways, spaces and budgets identified will be sufficient to support the various systems on a

common network infrastructure.

New youth football training facility

This project was funded by a charity so budgets were very tight. However it still required a fairly

extensive ITS system to support data, telephony, CCTV, PoS and provide some flexibility for

future expansion of the facility. It was identified that there was no likely future need for data

rates in excess of 1Gb/s so a Cat 5e system was specified and installed as part of the M&E

works designed by Tuckers Consultancy.
