Reliable Security Services, in designing the surveillance and security systems for the casino, looked at all the principal methods of video and signal transmission, as well as cable management. The following cabling was considered: Coaxial cable throughout the casino, as well as a total CAT5 twisted pair solution. We also looked at remote data processing rooms with fiber optic inter-connects. After running all of the numbers it became apparent that coaxial cable with wire trays would be the ideal solution, not only from a cost standpoint, but also for care and maintenance of the system downstream.

As you peruse the pictures you can see Reliable Security, and their sub-contractor Northern Lights Information Systems, in action. To date, Northern Lights Information Systems has pulled in almost 400,000 feet of wire in this 300,000 sq. ft. casino. The wire racks were specified and designed by Reliable and installed by the owner’s electrical contractor. This casino was pulled with an owner requested 20% spares, on the gaming floor 20 ft. tails and in areas such as the main cage and soft count rooms 10 ft. tails.

The Tulalip Tribe has mandated that they wanted to have zero injuries on this job and their general contractor, Mortenson, mandated safety glasses, as well as the normal hard hats, steel toed shoes and orange reflective covers. As of this date there have been no injuries on the job and Reliable Security whole heartedly endorses a zero tolerance for injuries.
