- Perform detailed architectural modelling of all racks, ceiling systems, containment systems and other interior caging/partitions.
- 3D scanning of the existing white space and support areas
- 4D and 5D BIM services to simulate construction sequencing, identify high risk activities and to provide bills of quantities.
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
- Coordinate electrical point-of-connection at landlord power distribution units (PDUs) and main data hall ground bars
- Design client’s data hall electrical distribution including feeders and/or overhead busway (or similar), tap boxes and associated electrical distribution.
- Perform arc flash and coordination studies to coordinate with base building distribution
- Specify and design an electrical metering system
- Create electrical system labelling and documentation used for operations
