Case Study: High‑Assurance Build for a Classified UK Facility

Interbase Link in the defence sector

Overview

A UK government department needed a new secure datacentre environment to host classified systems, support crossdomain services, and provide room to grow as computing demands increase. The work had to be delivered by securitycleared engineers, under strict controls, with full traceability for accreditation.

Security Requirements

  • All engineers cleared to the appropriate SC/DV level.
  • Controlled access, tool checks, and asset tracking throughout the project.
  • Daily security briefings and compliance with sitespecific rules.
  • Full photographic and written evidence to support accreditation.
  • A strict approach to change control, with no unauthorised variations.

Scope of Works

Structured Cabling

  • Installation of Cat6A copper and OM4 fibre across separate secure networks.
  • Dual routes for all critical connections to ensure resilience.
  • Preterminated fibre to speed up installation and improve quality.
  • Full testing of every link with digitally recorded results.

Containment & White‑Space Build

  • Install within securegrade containment, supplied by others, with clear separation of power and data.
  • Hotaisle containment to improve cooling and support highdensity racks.
  • Secure racks with seismic bracing and tamperevident fittings.
  • Integration with precision cooling and environmental monitoring systems.

Power & Resilience

  • Dualfed power to every rack for continuous operation.
  • Integration with UPS and generatorbacked systems.
  • Loadbank testing to confirm resilience under real conditions.

Documentation & Assurance

  • Asbuilt drawings, test results, asset lists, and photographic evidence.
  • Documentation aligned to government security and audit requirements.
  • A structured handover pack to support ongoing governance.

Our Approach

1

Phased Delivery

  • Design review: Checking drawings, identifying clashes, and confirming secure pathways.
  • Containment and power: Building routes, installing PDUs, and validating resilience.
  • Cabling installation: Deploying fibre and copper using consistent, highquality methods.
  • Testing and handover: Certifying all links and completing the full assurance pack.

2

Quality and Governance

  • Independent checks at each stage of the build.
  • A zerodefect approach, with issues resolved before moving to the next phase.
  • Daily updates to the client’s secureprojects lead.

Measurable Results

  • Delivered ahead of schedule through efficient, modular installation.
  • Achieved zero defects at completion.
  • Improved future maintenance efficiency through clear labelling and documentation.
  • Created a flexible infrastructure that can grow with future needs without requiring redesign.

Outcome

  • Provided complete, auditready documentation to support accreditation.
  • Enabled secure hosting of classified workloads with full resilience and segregation.
  • Established a repeatable model for future securesite deployments across the estate.
