The Numismatic Gallery, a Design/Bid/Build Project, entailed the Fit Out of a vanilla space to create this new Gallery/Exhibit. The project included fire suppression, electrical, mechanical, drywall, paint, suspended ceiling and carpentry trades. The project was performed at the Museum of American History on the National Mall. The gallery that was renovated is used for a historic coin (numismatic) collection. The coin collection is priceless. The fire suppression system installed was designed with the preservation of the coin collection as a top priority should there be an event. Coordination with the museum curators, as well as museum security, was critical, given the nature of the work, and the fact the that the remainder of the museum remained operational during construction.

This Design/Build Project involved replacing the existing proprietary Siemens Energy Management System at the NAC DHS Complex with an Open LonWorks EMS with LNS Web Based Graphical User Interface. We are replacing the Siemens Control network with new Open Lon standard CEA-079 TP/FT-10 network through an IP network. This includes all wiring, routers and panels, a new EMS Server with LNS enterprise Web Based Graphical User Interface, and LNS Web Based Graphical (Web Alliance) User Interface in each building, these will include graphic pages, alarms, trending and Scheduling. We are also providing design of OSP optical fiber cable to support 9 buildings, and installing the Network Switch to support those buildings, and installing the fiber switches, fiber, fiber connections, patch panels, and racks for each building.

The critical elements of this project involved installation of an interactive video wall in a National Historic Landmark building on the National Mall with active visitation. Belt Built was tasked with installing an interactive table and large LED monitor in the Smithsonian Institution Building (SIB) Great Hall, with associated mechanical, electrical and structural system renovations to support the installation of the large LED display screen and supporting of the interactive table. Site/building protections for work within a National Historic Landmark Building had to coordinated, including work area access controls, signage, barriers, overhead protections, etc. This project entailed selective demolition; fire alarm removal, installation and relocation; electrical survey, installation and coordination; mechanical installation; structural steel fabrications and installation with attachment points for the LED screen and cabinet. connecting the mechanical system for the LED screen and cabinet; coordinating available hard-wired connection points with display tables and server; and installation of server rack and equipment with the LED Screen installation. The fabrication and installation of the interactive table was performed by others. Consultation and coordination with the LED screen installer as to how the LED screen and cabinet would be mounted was an integral part of this project.
