§ 01 — Overview

A 48 MW data hall energised in phases, with zero downtime

The challenge

A 48 MW data hall that had to be energised in phases while earlier halls on the campus were already live.

Engineering approach

MEP systems were prefabricated as skid-mounted modules and every tie-in to live infrastructure was rehearsed in a digital model first.

Execution

Each 12 MW phase passed integrated systems testing at the first attempt, with no impact on live customers.
