SLC04-2 DATA CENTER

OWNER: Private Data Center Provider / Confidential Client

ARCHITECT: HKS 

ENGINEER: Powercool Engineers

LOCATION: West Valley City, UT

GENERAL CONTRACTOR: JT Magen Company

SIZE: 8 MW Facility Expansion

SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION DATE: February 2024

We were awarded this project as a competitive bid, during the completion of design and permitting process. This project consists of an 8 MW addition to an existing data center facility, operated by the owner. The addition includes two new data halls, with the buildout of an existing shelled data hall.

We have worked closely with the general contractor, design team, and owner to complete a fast-track build, on time and within the proposed cost. We’ve worked together with the team to look ahead to anticipate constructability items or schedule concerns and have been able to successfully complete the plumbing and mechanical scope of work, coinciding with the construction schedule organized by the construction manager. The owner is receiving a product they can rely on well into the future.

Challenges for this project include building an extension to an existing facility and maintaining operation of the existing facility without interruption or downtime. Demolition and remodel for the future space presented their own challenges for roof drain and plumbing systems to conform to the requirements of a data center. This required look ahead and coordination with the construction team to propose constructible items not included in the original design.

With a detailed virtual design coordination process, we fabricated nearly all piping and ductwork for the mechanical system, in a controlled shop environment, for precise and timely installation once the structural elements were available on site. This is a highly regarded project, working with a great team and we are proud to be a part of.

DATABANK SLC05 & SLC06

OWNER: DATABANK

ARCHITECT: CORGAN 

ENGINEER: kW MISSION CRITICAL

LOCATION: BLUFFDALE, UT

GENERAL CONTRACTOR: Layton Construction

SIZE: 250,000 Square Feet

Databank utilizes air cooled chillers and pre-manufactured pump houses to provide the cooling to Computer Room Air Handling Units and Fan Walls in their co-locate data halls. This was another fully BIM coordinated project which allowed for pre-manufacturing of the large bore mechanical piping segments at our fabrication shop for on-time delivery to the jobsite. This project was fully commissioned from level one factory witness tests through level five, the integrated systems test.

Private Owner Data Center Campus

Owner: Private Owner

Architect: HKS

Engineer: POWERCOOL ENGINEERS

Location: WEST JORDAN, UT

General Contractor: Okland Construction

Size: 250,000 SqFt.

Completion Date: June 2019

Aligned Energy purchased a decommissioned semi-conductor plant that has been re-purposed into a co-location Data Center. The interior of the existing building was demolished to expose the structure and make room for the new white space and electric rooms. Aligned Energy’s proprietary mechanical equipment was utilized for the cooling of the whitespace. Conventional air-cooled chillers and AHU’s were utilized for the Power room cooling. 3-D scanning of the existing building allowed for precise coordination of the new mechanical systems supplying this Tier 3 data center.

EBAY QUICKSILVER

Owner: eBay.com

Architect: Winter Street Architects, Inc

Engineer: A.H.A. Consulting Engineers

Location: West Jordan, UT

General Contractor: DPR Construction

Completion Date: October 2013

eBay Quicksilver was an open book design assist project awarded through competitive bid GMP with all savings being returned to the owner. This project was fast track which required a complete BIM model before construction which allowed us to prefabricate material for immediate install when the areas were available. eBay used Bloom stamps for the electrical power which required us to coordinate and install natural gas and D.I. water to all Bloom stamps as well as future stamps. Upon completion of this project J&S Mechanical is listed as the preferred mechanical contractor by eBay.

ZAPPOS.COM

Owner: Zappos.com

Architect: KMD Architects

Engineer: JBA

Location: Las Vegas, NV

General Contractor: Penta Building Group

Completion Date: September 2013

This building remodel was awarded as a competitive bid design assist with the tenant finish awarded as design build. The project was a remodel of the old county building in the heart of old downtown Las Vegas with "tight site" construction, including replacement of the air handlers on the roof of the 13 story tower. Construction commenced prior to completed design using a fast track schedule. We provided assistance with design of the data center, bistro, base building HVAC, and the complete design of the tenant finish. The data center utilizes in row cooling and hot isle containment and was completed prior to the rest of the project allowing the owner to load and use the racks early. The building was coordinated and detailed in 3D BIM requiring extensive research of existing utilities, structure, and HVAC systems. The project is currently pursuing LEED Gold.
