MISSION CRITICAL

This five-floor, 190,000 square foot interior upfit consists of offices, conference rooms, collaboration areas, break rooms, a cafe, server labs, bench labs, data rooms, and extensive technology, including a heavy, integrated security package and access control points. Our team provided solutions to project challenges, such as:

AGGRESSIVE SCHEDULE
The extremely aggressive schedule required a detailed phasing and stacking plan to mitigate time constraints. Multiple crews were brought in to work concurrently, including off-hours and weekends. The project had over $8 million in owner-requested change orders. Our schedule management due diligence allowed us to accommodate these changes and mitigate delays while saving 5% of time on the overall schedule.

SERVER & BENCH LABS
The server labs were designed with a hot aisle and a cold aisle to contain the airflow and prevent the racks from overheating. This method is a more efficient means of cooling than other methods. The busway used allows for flexibility to “hot swap” or change electrical components depending on the requirements needed. In the bench labs, ESD carpet and copper were installed to ground the flooring and prevent damage to equipment.
