Northstar Control Room

A mission-critical control room engineered for continuous operation — dual-fed, segmented and monitored against failure.

Aberdeen, UKResilient power & control for 24/7 operations

The challenge

Design and install a control-room power and lighting system that cannot tolerate downtime, with redundant supplies and verifiable failure modes.

Design response

A dual-fed, segmented distribution architecture with automatic transfer, UPS-backed critical loads, and a monitored emergency lighting scheme engineered to BS 5266.

Installation

Staged cut-over with full live-testing rehearsals so the changeover could be proven before a single live cable was moved.
