This difficult project involved the expansion of the existing data centre in Sydney’s CBD area combined with the requirements to carry out extensive demolition in an occupied high rise office building as well as the installation of large items of plant and equipment including (3) 1875 KVA Generators,(6) 600KVA generators and 300kva UPS System to high level plant rooms necessitating extensive upfront logistics planning.
Night shift work was required for the duration of the project due to constraints on materials handling and noisy works, and without disruption to the existing building tenants and the operational Data Centre located on level one.
This project required very detailed planning, coordination and cooperation with the building owner, client’s representative and design team, consultants, building tenants, sub-contractors and Sydney City Council.
The very young and dedicated site team have exhibited great skills in the resolving of construction difficulties, the commissioning and phasing in of new services and equipment in an occupied high rise building, and safely delivering a very difficult project in 44 weeks under extreme circumstances not usually encountered on a green field site.
