A.G. Coombs was appointed as head contractor to design and construct Stage II of the project, transforming TasNetworks’ internal Data Centre facility into a next generation facility fit for mission critical commercial computing services.
The Data Centre upgrade was designed using 3D BIM Revit® software. Building Information Modelling assisted with maximising floor space for revenue generating Information and Communications Technology (ICT) racks. It also helped to optimise construction time using virtual design and build methodologies to streamline the process and highlight potential site problems like services clashes, prior to construction.
The design focused heavily on scalability, and the ability to be readily extended to meet changing demand, operationally resilient, energy efficient and secure. It also took advantage of the cooler climate of Tasmania, incorporating indirect free cooling that enables a reduction in energy consumption and ongoing operational costs associated with cooling. Other environmental benefits are coming from a hot and cold aisle containment solution, high efficiency Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) systems, sensor controlled lighting and a Proinert IG-55 gas system which has zero ozone depletion and zero global warming potential. Remote management initiatives, including an independent Environmental Monitoring System, are enabling ongoing real-time monitoring and management of the “lights-out” operation.
