Sectors

Data centres: the asset is defined by its engineering systems

In a data centre the building is an envelope. The project is defined by the power topology, redundancy, cooling and the quality of critical systems commissioning.

What is specific

What governs the project

What distinguishes a data centre is that the cost of an error in engineering systems bears no comparison to the cost of an error in the structure. Redundancy topology, UPS, cooling, fire suppression and monitoring determine fitness for purpose — and that is only proven through full commissioning.

Our sector experience. Current project: AKASHI Data Center in Astana — project management, MEP design management, document control and commissioning.

Risks

The governing risks in this sector

Each of these risks is closed by a specific management function.

The redundancy topology determines availability and cannot be changed after installation without redesign.

UPS units, chillers, generators and switchgear carry long delivery times.

Function is proven by integrated system testing under failure scenarios, not by inspecting the installation.

A data centre cannot be operated without a complete and accurate as-built and test record set.

High services density requires discipline coordination at model level rather than on drawings.
