Studies
Studies
The studies are essential for a Risk-Free System design, which will enable the implementation and delivery of solutions according to the contractual constraints with a maximized use of resources.
SSA has the skills and experience to prepare all types of studies required by the Public Sector for the installation and integration on a Turn Key Basis of new High Technology infrastructures or the upgrade of existing ones.
Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) are identified and or Built-to-Order items / equipment are taken into consideration, according to cost and availability criteria. Frequently project-specific designs are required for new mechanical and electronic modules in order to adapt and integrate new equipment in existing infrastructure.
The studies are prepared to be implemented meeting prevailing legislation, applicable industry norms, and contractual obligations.
The types of studies already prepared be SSA in the past for several projects, are typically within the following categories:
