Brief

Calm, hard-wired, redundant.

Trading operations doesn’t tolerate noise, power dropouts, or vendor finger-pointing. The brief was a calm working floor with multi-monitor desks, sealed meeting rooms, hardened comms paths, and a redundancy plan written into the BOQ rather than discovered during operations.

Site reality

Baner Grade-A shell, single feed.

A clean Grade-A shell with one electrical feed and one ISP termination — neither acceptable for a trading operation. The design and procurement had to bring in a second feed, isolate the server room, and pre-cable the floor for a future expansion bay.

Design response

Acoustic separation by function, not just by department.

Voice rooms, recorded-call rooms, and silent focus rooms each got distinct acoustic specs — laminated glass, isolated ceilings, and floor-mounted partitions where required. The trading floor itself runs on a low-reverberation finish package: felt baffles, carpet tiles, soft joinery edges.

Execution

A second power feed and dual ISPs, commissioned before handover.

We coordinated with the landlord and DISCOM for a second feed and pulled it into a hardened LV room. Two independent ISPs were terminated on the same week with diverse paths into the comms room. Both ran through a 72-hour acceptance test before move-in.

Result

Operations cutover happened over a single weekend, with no rollback.

Flextrade cutover trading operations over one weekend. There was no rollback. The site has been operating continuously since.

Every detail you cannot see is the one that lets us run a trading floor without thinking about the room.
