I was wondering why they would go through all that effort, but seeing as it was a telephone exchange building it makes sense that it was vital that it need to be up and running full time. Impressive feat

That makes it even more incredible! Surely there are hundreds of connections into the building rather than just the usual gas, electricity, water.

I wonder if "no interruption" is completely literal, or whether they did need to switch some of these off for a few minutes to connect to a different pipe/cable.
