Retail Business Infrastructure

Assured reliability of communication and information infrastructure

Silcar offers the retail sector a means of achieving High Reliability in communication and information infrastructure to prevent of losses due to catastrophic system outages.

Silcar brings more than 20 years’ experience in working with complex and sensitive technical assets in environments that demand continuous, reliable operation.

As large retail enterprises become increasingly dependent upon information and communication technologies (ICT), Silcar provides end-to-end solutions for complex infrastructure – from design and construction to operation, facilities management and maintenance.

We enable organisations to focus on their core business, while we assure the performance of their critical information and communication infrastructure.

Underpinning our services is a High Reliability approach that maximises asset performance, removes sources of failure and enhances safety.

Refined over 20 years, this approach is based on detailed asset knowledge and sophisticated management systems, coupled with a workforce culture focussed on loss prevention, containment and safety.

Reliability of critical infrastructure is enhanced through Silcar’s specific capabilities in:

Dynamic modelling of ICT and support infrastructure from design concept through to future states enabling risk free “stress testing” of electrical and communications systems

Independently assessing for system outage risks in design and ranking design proposals

ICT hardware and building technology procurement recommendations

Oversight post commissioning to maintain regulatory compliance (configuration management)

Energy and cooling capacity and load management

Maintenance data capture requirements to support condition based life cycle management and evidence based loss prevention

Intelligent monitoring infrastructure to speed up fault identification

Importantly, Silcar’s achievements in delivering reliable and cost effective performance from critical infrastructure facilities for retail are possible by a commitment to safety without exception.  We believe that safety is a promise to our Clients, our people and our communities.  We see safety as both an ethical commitment and a key driver of reliable asset performance.
