Having two Uptime Certified Designers for their Tier classifications ensures that clients will get the facility they need. PROJECTS CONFIDENTIAL PROJECT A CONFIDENTIAL PROJECT B CONFIDENTIAL PROJECT C CONFIDENTIAL PROJECT D COORDINATION STUDIES Electrical device coordination is paramount to the successful operation of critical facilities. Coordination studies, performed during design and construction phases as well as in concert with power distribution changes made throughout the life of the facility, are necessary for mission critical facilities to realize maximum reliability and uptime. ARC FLASH Future maintainability of these critical facilities is done through proper design and classification of electrical systems. MCE can perform an arc flash study and print labels for the equipment so the maintenance staff knows the level of personal protective equipment to wear during the maintenance. THERMAL MODELING With facilities driving toward higher and higher densities, engineers must be able to prove to a client that every RU of every rack will receive temperatures that are within acceptable ranges. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model can show the designed data room’s airflow patterns and temperature at any point in the room. CAPACITY PLANNING Designing data centers requires more planning than providing an ample amount of power and cooling to IT equipment. Because IT equipment and strategies are always evolving, available power and cooling must be designed for future flexibility while minimizing stranded power. EXISTING SITE ASSESSMENT Most existing data centers have seen several iterations of space, power and cooling modifications. When a client is looking to purchase, upgrade or move into a data center, it is important to have an engineer that can evaluate power, cooling and fire protection systems and identify any possible points of failure and quickly estimate the future potential of the space.
