3.1.8 The DCS-commissioned IT installation at the New Kimberley Correctional Centre was of particular concern: despite the DPW's requests that the installation be done earlier, the DCS failed to insist that the contractor do so. The project provided special sleeves for the IT network, but power skirting and cables were nevertheless positioned over the floor. Furthermore, given the late installation, ceilings and ceiling board supports had had to be cut and removed to create a passage for the IT installation. Despite clear instructions to keep security rooms at low temperatures, these rooms are reportedly often heated to well above the recommended temperature. This causes serious damage to the equipment, and IT failures in this room could seriously compromise security. In addition it appears as though no one had ensured that that the IT installation and equipment met the required standards.
