Structure Tone simultaneously constructed two new two-storey, steel framed, sheet cladded data centres with full mechanical and electrical infrastructure. Work included:
- new RC pad foundations and extensive below ground service modifications
- new foul and surface water drainage
- erection of new two-storey steel frame buildings to form new data hall, circulation areas, plant rooms
- full infrastructure inclusive of 2.8MW cooling and 3no DRUPS units @ 2MW with 90,000L 7-day fuel supply tanks
- full Cat A fit-out with 'box in box' data hall incorporating 750mm raised access floor metal tile/grid ceiling and prefinished steel doors and frames
- feature face brick and stone cladding in one facility and metal cladding and curtain walling on the other
- new 11KV incoming supply for each site
- full fibre backbone and Cat 6 copper distribution data cabling forming wide area and local networks
- extensive external car parking and landscaping
Project Details
Each building is approximately 120,000sf with a 50,000sf data hall. The scope included both core and shell and interior fit-out of the sites. The superstructure of the new buildings is steel frame and the foundations are rolled concrete.
The electrical and mechanical infrastructure includes an extensive 2(N+1) emergency power system, including diesel rotary UPS (DRUPS) and PDUs in a distributed redundant configuration. One site required ties to the existing data center utility building and involved extensive scheduling. The mechanical infrastructure includes air-cooled chillers feeding individual CRAC units in a redundant configuration, located in galleys. The IT infrastructure includes extensive Category 6 and fiber optic cable connecting the IT cabinets and racks.
