1200A, 15kV Environmental Enclosure
18’W x 36’L x 12’-6”H

Double-wide enclosure to support large data center infrastructure

This product required precision installation to account for the leveling of the porcelain GIS bus from Schneider Electric MV gear. Combined with a cable plenum and raised floor, these units have redundant cooling vs. chilled water heat pumps, and are fully integrated stand-alone buildings.

Although the feeder scope is reduced, there is significant labor savings in dealing with testing and controls in the factory vs. the field. These enclosures save weeks on site and allow for a very controlled environment for critical equipment.

40+ units deployed / RAF and Overhead Product

Project focus related to footprint and logistics for moving into deeper interior spaces. The design allowed for 80% of the work to be performed outside of the critical path of receiving equipment. This project represented a step into buy vs. build, which takes traditional trade work and shifts it to another subcontractor’s scope of work.

Incorporate everything possible into the factory rather than the field. These products have several vendor-installed components that are done at startup, but can easily be installed and tested prior to shipping. This helps avoid issues with parts getting lost offsite, and saves time if anything goes wrong.

100+ units deployed

This project required a focus on scalable blocks and logistics. The product was deployed in seven states, with no issues. Having a fully-developed product block for the site team to coordinate around simplified the entire effort.

Scope touch points are critical. This has an RAF surrounding it, so the details can make or break success on site. Spending extra time coordinating those points saves a lot of panic later in the project.

N+1 HVAC via Chilled Water CRAH and WSHP

The manufacturing team was engaged prior to design being completed for this site, along with two others. As each room was developed, the site teams coordinated around receiving the completed buildings.

Site logistics can cripple the plan if not addressed early in the process. Key elements such as crane and rigging paths, and related plans, are critical when using large-scale offsite methods.

N HVAC Units – CRAH

This project had a very short schedule, and entailed working out of sequence. Most of the components were assembled prior to equipment being received, to accommodate rapid assembly.

On shorter-duration project implementations, coordination with the site becomes critical. There were existing conditions that had to be accounted for in order to execute a proper offsite plan. This reinforces the DFMA mentality, and why it is so critical to design the site to the product, rather than the product to the site.
