AV Project management

AVS incorporates the experience of the Washington area’s best systems engineers, integrators and project managers in the areas of video, computer graphics, audio and presentation control. AVS has extensive experience with sound, high-resolution video, large screen projection, video teleconferencing and complex control systems. AVS and its personnel have specialized and extensive experience in the design and construction of command centers, for more than twenty years. AVS as a company has made it one of its core business areas to design, build, maintain and upgrade command centers.

AVS has a technically strong team with more than 75 staff members specializing in the implementation of audio video systems. Our Project Managers, System Engineers, and Installation Engineers all have extensive experience in industry technologies and in various types of installations.

Starting with base floor plans, AVS designers and engineers layer information such as lighting fixtures and locations, furniture placement, seating plans and equipment and rack placements. With this baseline information in place, the team performs requirements analysis, system design and equipment selection. Finally, detailed electrical design and installation plans are generated. These plans are accompanied by complete requirements packages, including electrical and HVAC loading, to allow for precision installation and system management. Once the project is complete, you can count on a fully operational solution, expertly designed and installed.

Implementation

AVS maintains an aggressive Program Management style with the belief that proper planning and management will bring projects to completion on time, within budget, and yield the greatest system performance and reliability. The AVS project implementation plan is a structured, straight forward approach that provides efficiency of resources, both time and personnel. The high level steps are:

• Contract Award – an internal kickoff meeting is held where the sales staff turns over all paperwork to the implementation team and provides a detailed discussion of the history of the procurement process and what is expected by the customer.
• Customer Kickoff Meeting –An AVS project manager is assigned and begins to contact the customer to set up a kickoff meeting. The purpose of this meeting is to provide introductions, review the contract requirements and survey the site.
• Design – AVS engineers develop the design for the system and facilities as appropriate. This includes all documentation required to order parts, build the system, and complete installation. Two design reviews are held during the process to ensure the design meets the requirements detailed in this proposal.
• Integration – To the greatest extent possible, the system is fully assembled and tested in-house at AVS' facilities. Typically, during this time the site is prepared: cables are pulled; display structures; sound panels; and lighting are installed. Any other electrical work that is done by AVS is also done during this time.
• Installation – After the system is assembled, tested and approved by QA, it is delivered to the site. The cables that were pulled are dressed into the rack and other equipment and terminated. All non-rack mounted equipment is installed, aligned and set up.
• Punch and Setup – After the system is fully installed and connected, the system engineer performs a complete system checkout. All audio levels and video settings are set. All system functionality is verified including all signal paths.
• Acceptance test – Where requiredl, AVS personnel will generate an Acceptance Test Procedure and will execute the test with the customer. Any discrepancies are noted and assignments for resolution are determined. When a formal acceptance test is not required, the system’s operation will be demonstrated during the training session.
  
• Training – AVS will train the customer to use the system. When desired, a training manual is created that covers complete operation of the system.
• Signoff – After the system is tested or at first beneficial use, whichever is earlier, AVS requests the customer sign a Certificate of Acceptance.
• Drawings – A complete system documentation package is delivered to the customer after system acceptance.
• Warranty – The warranty period begins after the acceptance test is performed or when beneficial use begins, whichever is earlier.
