3.5 Days (from order request to completion)
Immediate response, highly capable team, customer assurance.
An international operator was struggling to find a cost effective and available partner to remove a redundant AXE 10 that was due to be decommissioned in Frankfurt. Due to internal challenges, the equipment remained in service beyond original scope and had to be rapidly deinstalled once traffic was removed. Unfortunately, the operator did not have exact dates and needed a team on standby to respond immediately. To add to the issue, the property lease was coming to an end, and they would be faced with penalties if the floor was not cleared in time.
Our relationship manager was in daily contact with the operator on the status of the decommission and we were finally given the green light to proceed on a Monday afternoon. On Tuesday evening our team arrived in Frankfurt from the UK and were on site at 07:30 on Wednesday morning. The equipment had to be removed from the fifth floor by close of business on that Friday, allowing for three days to complete the project.
Our team worked tirelessly to remove 56 cabinets of AXE 10 BYB 202, including standby battery banks, DC power systems, UPS systems, cabling, associated peripheral cabinets, DDF’s and other miscellaneous equipment.
We left the entire floor (300 sq.mt) empty and clean, with all material off site by 15:00 on the Friday.
