Microsoft Data Centre AKL02
2023 - Hawkins ConstructionThe client preselected Allendale based on previous experience to undertake the problematic challenges faced on this project.
Allendale was preselected based on experience undertaking ECI and reviewing client-supplied equipment specifications for compatibility with NZ conditions, standards, and site-specific requirements. We then progressed to pricing the completed design, which was subject to review by the client's PQS.
Contract works included installing all LV reticulation from the transformers' secondary terminals. Equipment installed included 4 x 3.5mW transformers, 3 x 3mW Generators, 8 x 1200kW UPSs, 24 x 750kVA PDUs with integral delta star transformers, all earthing, and site lighting and power.
