What features and benefits does Iso Floor offer?

Iso Floor has a high lateral stability which means that all panels can be removed without the risk of the floor shifting.

The free-standing, high stability Iso Floor structure means there is no need for wall support.

Bergvik can provide multiple floor panel sizes to accomodate/fit any size of cabinet depths. This way, no panels are locked down by equipment which makes it easy to feed cables into the cabinet.

Future equipment expansion can be built into the floor design.

Grounding of the floor structure is sufficiently accomplished with only two (2) grounding wires placed in opposite corners of the floor mechanics. See BAY 614 raised floor instruction under downloads.

The unique system flexibility allows the operator to use existing buildings that normally might not be considered acceptable for central office switches. This could present considerable cost savings. For example, a building with a sloping or uneven sub-floor does not present a problem for the Iso Floor system. To do this, Bergvik can offer pedestals of different lengths to account for such problems. Obstacles such as cable trenches, existing pipes, ventilation drums, etc. are easily addressed by moving the floor pedestals (Lx & Ly) sideways.

The equipment can be bolted directly to the Iso Floor BAY 614 structure.

What should I think of during a telecom switch site survey?

Questions to ask the operator during a site survey in reference to using Iso Floor BAY 614 include:

Verify room dimension(s) Length x Width

Verify finished floor height (FFH) for raised floor required by Operator.

Check the ceiling height (the minimum ceiling height required is 96 inch + floor height).

Check leveling of concrete sub-floor from one side of the room(s) to the other with laser level.

Check to see if door(s) to and from switch room(s) swing in or out and mark this information on the floorplan being sent to Bergvik.

If floor/bracing is to be delivered to a seismic zone, have operator verify that the concrete sub-floor has the quality and thickness required to meet Ericsson specifications.

Verify that the floor material can easily be transported into the installation area.

Verify that the concrete slab can withstand point loads from floor pedestals. Min. point load per pedestal is 1000 kg (2220 lbs).

Verify that the concrete sub-floor holds a minimum of F25 quality if the floor is to be installed in a seismic area.

How long does it take to install Iso Floor?

Non seismic zone = 1.7 m2 (17 sf) per man hour.

Seismic zone 1-2 = 1 m2 (10 sf) per man hour.

Seismic zone 3-4 = 1.7 m2 (17 sf) per man hour for the floor plus 1.5 man hours per seismic bracing frame.
