Project Description : This project aims to update the general management and object management IT layers of the existing management system (SGE) to build a new system compliant with the Swiss National Road Administration standards (UeLS-CH). The contract scope covers electrical installation, low-voltage power supply, and structured cabling works. Core tasks include: integrating approximately 40 new circuit protection switches into existing distribution cabinets; laying approximately 3,400 meters of low-voltage cables for normal and emergency power supplies; completing approximately 470 meters of equipotential bonding; laying approximately 11,200 meters of communication cables; installing approximately 55 fiber optic E2000/RJ45 socket patch panels; and providing approximately 35 empty electrical cabinets for the subsequent third lot. The project requires phased implementation, and the existing facilities must remain operational until the new system passes all tests specified in the tender specifications (Quaderno degli oneri), after which the switchover can occur. Furthermore, the service scope includes the compliant disposal of dismantled old facilities.
