About the client
Our client is a successful real estate investment company with experience in finance, construction, renovation, asset management and acquisitions & dispositions. They provide expert advice to their clients throughout the US.
About the project
For their in-house financial team, our client required 5 ergonomic trading desks. They were looking for a comfortable workspace that is clutter-free. Also, they needed a heavy-duty solution that could support at least 6 monitors, featured height adjustability capabilities and integrated cable management into its design. It was also important that the trading room evoked a minimalist aesthetic while also promoting good ergonomic practices.
About the solution
We designed and built a trading desk that incorporated our client’s requirements.
Using a steel substructure our consoles are strong enough to handle the weight of all the equipment used in a professional trading room. As well as ensuring the work surface will remain in good shape for years to come.
Our client needed to mount 6 monitors directly on the work surface without compromising the available space for the rest of their equipment. The High-Pressure Laminate work surface supports the weight of the articulated monitor arms and features a grommet at the base for the cables to pass through the surface.
To ensure adequate cable management in the trading room our consoles integrate a variety of systems. Underneath the work surface, the power and data cables are routed through the surface frame, and some connect to a power bar. The rest of them continue all the way down through the cable chains, to protect them from any motion damage, and into the CPU enclosures.
To keep the IT equipment, secure our control consoles integrate steel CPU enclosures underneath the work surface. These are integrated into the steel substructure and feature lockable doors with steel hinges. Also to keep the IT equipment accessible these enclosures are equipped with metal sliding trays that facilitate any maintenance required.
Following the requirements of our clients to create an ergonomic trading room, our control consoles also feature two lifting columns that are quick and quiet. These are controlled using a keypad accessible on the front right side of the work surface. In addition to promoting movement throughout the workday, our consoles also feature a urethane edge that helps reduce wrist pain and relief tension.
