Project Size: 30,000 sq. ft.
Construction Schedule: 10 Months
Completion Date: April 2004
Project involved the upgrade and expansion of a 20 year-old operating data center to current technology for “mission critical” operation, to assure that this facilities’ operation would not be interrupted. This included replacing existing 1000 ton capacity cooling towers, pumps, piping and controls in a (3) phase process. 40 pipe-fi tters worked a 12-hour shutdown to complete 60 tie-ins to existing piping in the data processing area. Bruner worked closely with the owner, engineer, and other contractors to identify equipment and systems critical to the immediate criteria for a Tier 4 system.
