mitigating installation risks - data center cooling system installation in atlanta, ga
TRANSCRIPT
McKenney’s installed additional cooling systems and capacity at Internap’s premium colocation
facility in Atlanta.
THE CHALLENGEInstallation of the new systems in the multi-story facility created material handling and site logistics challenges. With a 25-foot height from floor to slab, installation of 12-inch chilled water piping and large ductwork required use
of scissor lifts—which added difficulty and risk. All roof work had to take place after hours, resulting in extended shifts and overtime work. McKenney’s also had to install piping over operational servers and other equipment in the ceiling of the existing room.
THE SOLUTIONOffsite pipe and sheet metal fabrication mini-mized on-site installation hours. Coordinated deliveries decreased disruption of regularly
scheduled building activities. To reduce work conducted over existing servers and equip-ment, all welding occurred in the expansion space and piping was pushed through the data center using roller hangers from the corridor through the existing server room.
THE RESULTSThe mechanical system was completed ahead of schedule, under budget and injury free— earning high marks from Internap.
