IS Techs joined the eTrac Engineering team to provide
advanced IT Support, Engineering and Consulting for both eTrac and
eTrac clients.
- Upgraded eTrac main office in San Francisco, CA with IBM X346
running SBS 2003 and Exchange email server, IBM X3650 running
Terminal Services.
- Set up Cisco 1811W for secure remote and multi site access.
- Set up KVM over IP and Network power management for complete
BIOS level remote access to main office systems.
- Hybelos Waterway Superfund Environmental cleanup project. Working
on site during a production environmental cleanup project on the
water presented many unique challenges including being aware of
off limits zones, train cars, heavy construction equipment and
waiting for small boats to ferry us to and from various tug boats,
barges and shore. For the project we preformed work for both eTrac
Engineering and Dalton, Olmsted & Fuglevand to complete the
overall integrated network. Using Cisco aironet 1310 wireless
network bridges and various 2.4GHz antennas we linked four construction
trailers, two tug boats, one barge, one survey boat and one excavator
in a point to multipoint with clients secure wireless network
with T1 VPN remote access. This enabled real time remote viewing
of dredging operations, remote support for Dredgepack, Hypack,
desktops and overall network. In addition this infrastructure
was utilized by other subcontractors terminating VPNs back to
corporate networks, the transfer of survey data from the survey
boat to production dredging systems and off site to eTrac offices,
for a range of typical corporate network functions and for general
high speed internet access. IS Techs remained involved with the
project providing network support through completion. The overall
deployment was a huge success and proved to be extremely fast
and reliable enabling DOF to lean on the infrastructure much more
than had they originally expected.
- Glenn Edwards Hopper Dredge outfitting. IS Techs traveled to
Mobile Alabama and the Alabama Ship Yard where Manson Construction's
300' hopper dredge Glenn Edwards was just being finished. We installed
networking equipment and software including switches, a LandCell
modem, Cisco PIX 501 and remote desktop software. In addition
we did final configuration of network and XP pro stations enabling
Secure VPN access for real-time remote viewing of dredging operations,
remote support for Hypack and Dredgepack and remote desktop and
network support through the cellular network with a relative range
of up to 50 miles off shore.
- Manson Construction Multi vessel Wireless Network.
IS Techs configured Cisco 1310 radios so that multiple 1310 equipped
tug boats can automatically link up to any one of over a dozen
1310 equipped dredging barge platforms to see in real time the
barges GPS position, then move on to another barge and automatically
link up to it.
- Cisco Aironet 1310 configurations for various marine dredging
and construction projects around the country.
