Telecom Datacenter Uplift

This project created an entirely new data hall with associated electrical distribution and support spaces to house a newly deployed telecom network to replace an antiquated one. All of this was done within the footprint of an existing building, repurposing certain spaces, but keeping the old network active until the time was right for decommissioning. To accommodate limitations of the existing building structure, a new completely independent rooftop platform structure was built to support new mechanical equipment. For the finishing touch, a new breakroom was built along with a general refresh of finishes throughout both new and old spaces.

Mechanical systems supporting the data hall include CRAC units in the data hall with condensers on the roof, miscellaneous RTUs, FCUs/condensers, and DOAS units.

Electrical infrastructure upgrades were required to supply the appropriate power requirements to the added mechanical systems as well as the new telecom network equipment. This included bringing in (2) new 480V, 3000A utility feeds to power (2) electrical rooms to create redundancy in the event of any interruption in electrical service. For emergency backup, (2) new 2 MW MTU generators were installed along with (2) 8,000 gallon underground diesel tanks.
