CONSTRUCTION COMMUNICATIONS
CSE designs, installs and maintains two-way radio
communications for both permanent and temporary locations.
CSE offers turnkey packaged solutions or will provide rental
and managed systems. CSE’s two-way radio systems offer the
latest in personnel safety management and personnel tracking,
location and “man down” alert systems.
VSAT SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS
VSAT satellite systems are typically used in remote areas where
conventional telecommunications are not accessible, or to back
up other communications to form high reliability networks. The
systems can be scaled to provide complete corporate facilities
or only emergency fallback. CSE can provide VSAT systems for
voice, data, remote monitoring and video conferencing. We can
also provide the bandwidth or space segment required for a
complete turnkey solution.
FIBRE OPTIC SYSTEMS
Fibre optic networks offer the highest throughput of all
commonly used forms of communications. The networks are
also more secure and reliable than copper or wireless networks.
CSE has the capability to design, construct and commission
fibre optic networks for hazardous and industrial applications.
MICROWAVE RADIO SYSTEMS
Microwave radio systems can provide point-to-point or point-
to-multipoint communications. CSE provides complete system
engineering for micro wave systems. Our services include,
site surveys, path analysis, spectrum planning, equipment
recommendations and construction. Our system design can
also incorporate solar and emergency diesel power as well as
structural analysis and construction of towers.
CONVENTIONAL & TRUNKED RADIO SYSTEMS
Conventional two-way radio networks have evolved into
complex digital trunked systems providing highly reliable,
secure communications that can be delivered across a single
site, along a corridor hundreds of kilometres long, through
an underground tunnel or even linking multiple sites. These
systems not only provide two-way voice communications but
are now an integral part of companies OH&S policy, providing
GPS tracking, man down emergency alarm and many other
features including wireless data messaging. CSE has many years
of experience in this area having designed, constructed and
commissioned both analogue and digital trunked radio systems
(TETRA and APC025) that now support many thousands of
terminals.
PUBLIC ADDRESS & GENERAL ALARM SYSTEMS (PAGA)
These are essential safety systems which alert personnel within
a plant in the event of an emergency. CSE builds and engineers
the systems to individual client requirements as this may require
integrating the PAGA system with many different legacy plant
systems. As part of the design work, CSE can also perform
sound analysis and coverage studies to ensure audible, clear
sound coverage is achieved in all areas where personnel need
to be alerted.
CCTV, ACCESS CONTROL & FIDS SYSTEMS
CSE can provide high-quality CCTV systems designed for
remote monitoring of plant and equipment as well as providing
surveillance for security applications. Our systems are designed
to comply with the highest intrinsic safety standards for
operating in hazardous areas and are used extensively by the oil
and gas industry.
TELEPHONE NETWORKS
Plant-wide telephone networks connected to, or integrated
with, large corporate telephony networks are essential
infrastructure for almost all industrial plants. As part of
our overall solutions, CSE can work with clients to design
telephony systems for greenfield sites incorporating the latest
IP technology or integrate legacy TDM or circuit switched
technology into new networks.
LAN/WAN NETWORKS
Local and wide area networks are the key to underlying
infrastructure required to support plant-wide data
communications. They enable computers and other devices to
communicate with servers, company intranets and the internet.
CSE provides design and construction services for LAN and
WAN networks using fibre, copper, wireless or combinations
or these mediums. CSE works with clients to ensure the
design is engineered to meet their reliability requirements,
this may include multiple levels of redundancy, fire resistant
materials, etc.
IP-BASED NETWORKS
IP (Internet Protocol) is the dominant standard used by almost
all equipment vendors as the default communications protocol.
CSE provides IP network designs for clients enabling IP devices
to communicate with other devices while protecting them
from unauthorised access. The network design can incorporate
automatic failover switching, remote monitoring and traffic
reporting.
SCADA & TELEMETRY NETWORKS
CSE understands the special requirements for SCADA and
Telemetry networks. While these networks are rapidly moving
to a common IP protocol they still require a higher level of
engineering than corporate data networks. CSE has a sound
record in the design and construction of high reliability SCADA/
Telemetry networks, including the integration of legacy serial
systems with IP-based systems.
