Two data halls, a central utility yard and an integrated systems test that proved every megawatt before the first customer rack arrived.
Hyperscale schedules are set by the customer’s hardware, not the builder’s calendar. This campus needed two data halls, medium-voltage distribution, generators, UPS and a cooling plant delivered in step with long-lead equipment from a dozen factories. And the owner would accept nothing short of a full integrated systems test before white space was handed over.
The approach.
- 01
Supply chain as the critical path
Generators, switchgear, UPS modules and chillers were tracked from factory slot to setting date, with expediters visiting the plants that slipped.
- 02
Skids and modules built off site
Electrical rooms and piping skids were prefabricated and set as finished assemblies, taking weeks of field work off the schedule.
- 03
White space, organized
Hot-aisle containment, overhead busway, cable tray and fiber pathways were installed in a fixed sequence so trades never stacked in one aisle.
- 04
Integrated systems test
Load banks filled each hall to design load while utility power was pulled, generators started and UPS rode through, until every sequence passed.
The outcome.
“A data hall is not finished when it looks finished. It is finished when we pull the utility at full load and nothing blinks.”
