Commercial Network Installation Rapid City – Black River Contracting Facility

Commercial network installation in Rapid City is critical for businesses that rely on reliable connectivity, secure infrastructure, and scalable technology systems. For the new Black River Contracting facility, Brink Design designed and installed a complete UniFi-powered network and security system built specifically for a growing construction company.

This commercial network installation in Rapid City was designed from the ground up to provide reliable connectivity throughout the building, scalable surveillance coverage across the property, and secure access control for employee entry points.

By building a unified system on the UniFi ecosystem, the facility now has a single platform that manages networking, security cameras, and building access.

Network & Wi-Fi Infrastructure

A strong internal network is the backbone of any modern business. For this Rapid City commercial network installation, we deployed enterprise-grade UniFi networking hardware designed to support both office operations and shop-floor connectivity.

Core Hardware Installed

UniFi Dream Machine Pro
UniFi Pro 24-Port PoE Network Switch
7 × UniFi U7 Lite Access Points

Setup

Wireless access points were strategically positioned throughout the building to deliver consistent coverage across offices, workspaces, and shop areas. This ensures employees and devices remain connected regardless of where they are in the facility.

The system supports:

• Office computers and workstations
• Mobile devices and tablets
• Cloud-based construction software
• Surveillance cameras
• Smart building systems

Result

The building now benefits from fast, stable Wi-Fi coverage and a professional network infrastructure designed to scale as the business grows.

Commercial Surveillance System

Security cameras were installed to provide clear visibility around the facility and protect equipment, vehicles, and building access points.

Cameras Installed

3 × UniFi G5 Bullet Cameras
1 × UniFi G4 Bullet Camera
5 × UniFi G6 Bullet Cameras

Coverage Strategy

Camera placement focused on key monitoring areas including building entrances, parking areas, and exterior approaches. This allows management to maintain clear oversight of activity around the property.

Each camera delivers high-resolution video along with reliable night performance, ensuring consistent monitoring both day and night.

Result

The completed surveillance system provides dependable recording, remote viewing capability, and intelligent motion alerts.

Access Control System

Access control was integrated into the same UniFi ecosystem used for networking and cameras.

Devices Installed

UniFi Reader Flex
UniFi Door Hub

Functionality

Employee entry points were equipped with NFC credential readers that allow authorized staff to unlock doors securely. Access permissions can be managed centrally through the UniFi dashboard.

Result

The facility now benefits from a modern access control system that eliminates traditional keys and provides better visibility into building access.

Structured Cabling & Network Backbone

Behind every reliable network installation is a properly designed cabling infrastructure.

For this commercial network installation in Rapid City, approximately 2,500 feet of CAT6 cable was installed throughout the building to support cameras, wireless access points, and wired network connections.

Installation Highlights

Structured cable routing
Organized patching and labeling
Proper support and protection for long cable runs
Clean termination and network rack organization

Result

The facility now has a clean, high-performance network backbone that supports both current operations and future expansion.

Final Outcome

This project delivered a fully integrated commercial network installation in Rapid City that combines networking, surveillance, and access control into a single system.

Black River Contracting now has:

• Reliable building-wide Wi-Fi
• Professional security camera coverage
• Secure employee access control
• Structured cabling infrastructure
• A scalable UniFi platform for future growth

With everything centrally managed through the UniFi ecosystem, the business now has a modern technology backbone capable of supporting operations well into the future.
