The integration of this visualization project has been carried out by the company specializing in AV installations, SSUK, who has been in charge of designing, supply and install the 85 Eyevis LCD screens.

A 12-year video wall has been implemented in the GOC's main room×2 made up of 24 Screens, other 16 videowalls inside the control room in 2 configurations×2, 3×2 and 4×2, And, there are also some additional individual screens.

This was a project that posed great challenges in many ways as the building had been completely renovated to fulfill the functions for which it was to be intended. This required that the plants be reinforced and a complete renovation of all systems, accessories and furniture.

When installing the screens, SSUK had to find a partner, Peerless-AV, to provide you with the supports you needed given the characteristics of the stay. The control center is designed with glass panels so attaching the videowalls to the wall was complicated. To solve this problem, Peerless-AV supplied its floor supports that offer the safety sought.
