cilitythat inrecentyearsbecame TekPark. “The infrastructure at TekPark is extensive, but required significant upgrades to meet the electrical and cooling requirements of our “high avail- ability”datacenterdesigns” said DBSi presidentBillBachenberg. “Our design includedupgrading the existing infrastructure and installing new electrical and cooling systems that would pro- vide over five 9’s of availability” Bachenberg explained. Ondra-Huyett and its team of designers and trade contrac- tors compressed the original 14 month schedule to complete the project in a 5 month period. “ We worked cooperatively with the owner to begin construction while DBSi was still designing the electrical, cooling andmoni- toring infrastructure -- right up to the “go live” date,” said Terry Hodge, VP of operations for Ondra-Huyett Associates. “Our
aggressive schedule was man- agedby coordinatingasmanyas 120 tradesmen across multiple disciplines working 24 x 7 in very concentrated areas in the facility,” Hodge explained. “OHA and its team worked tirelessly to achieve the “go- live” deadline, the project came in on-time and within budget -- anamazing accomplishment,” Bachenberg said. Key Design and Construction Elements of the DBSI Project: •Major demolition of existing air handlers and mechanical pads on Mezzanine along with associated metal ductwork, de- molition of all ceilings, flooring, framing, fire protection system, electrical wiring and conduit. • Installed structural steel framing, exterior metal insu- lated panel, mechanical mez- zanine housing air handlers on structural deck and mechanical mezzanine with metal grating
above ceiling height. • New metal frame parti- tions, drywall, insulation, raised access flooring, polished floors, carpeting, painting, metal doors and hardware, security revolving doors, door access systems • Fire Protection: Dry pre- action and agent based, along with Fike Preaction/Detection Control System • Mechanical: Oil-less, bear- ing-less Chillers with associ- atedchilledwaterpiping tied-in to existing 5,600 ton Chiller Plant on Campus, Liebert 50 ton Computer Room Air Con- ditioners (CRAC Units), 1250 GPM Cooling Towers. Central- ized humidity control using ultrasonic humidification with de-ionized water. Designed to seamlessly integrate geother- mal cooling. • Electrical: 15 kV and 480V Substations, Automatic Trans-
