A leading Spanish television station relocated their corporate headquarters
into a 4-story 160,000 sq. ft. facility in Los Angeles, California. Our scope
of services included designing a television broadcast facility with a studio,
and post-production and office space.
The owner retained Syska Hennessy for our ability to lead the
engineering design of highly technical and specialized broadcast
facilities. The FCC’s mandate that broadcasting companies
transition from analog to digital technology, and our client’s
desire to establish a bi-coastal presence, made the engineering
design an integral part of the successful completion of the project.
Working directly with the owners, we completed the design of the
mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection systems. Specific
engineering aspects of the project included establishing system
redundancy to ensure studio up-time 24/7, and switching to digital
technology which decreased grounding requirements thus reducing
harmonic vibration.
Today, the station has a state-of-the-art television studio to
complement their broadcast offerings in Miami, Florida. Planning
for a possible hurricane or earthquake event, the Los Angeles facility
will be able to quickly cover for its sister facility in the event
of a natural disaster thereby keeping its Spanish-speaking audience
informed.
As a result of our success at the Los Angeles location, our team
has been selected for similar projects in San Antonio, Houston,
Phoenix, Fresno, Austin, and Puerto Rico.
