Case Study 3: Design & Consultancy experience/Capability showcase (For a 3.4MW Tier III Greenfield DC in Muscat)
Project Brief
Using 35+ Years of experience a Data center was designed for the Government of Oman, At Muscat, with Tier- III Uptime Institute Certification for Design.
The Site Location was on a Hill of 2000 m above sea level, rocky area, about 4.5 Acres land was allocated.
Space allocated for future development as well as Employees Residential buildings. The IT Load was 2.08 MW. and Facility Load was 3.78 MW
Space Allocated and MEP Equipment's Considered
- Space planning done to accommodate 520 IT Racks in 2 Server Halls.
- Dual Telco Rooms, Electrical Rooms, Material handling area, and Office space included.
- Designed facility to meet Uptime Institute Tier-III Standards and obtained Design Certification.
- Electrical System in N+N Configuration with proposed 11 KV Rotary UPS (DR-UPS) feeding Transformers to step down to utility voltage for the entire facility.
- Mechanical System in N+1 Configuration with Chiller Plant on Terrace and CRAH for Server Halls.
- FCUs and AHUs provided for Non-Critical area cooling purposes.
- Novec 1230 Gas system implemented for Fire Suppression.
- BMS, CCTV, EPMS, VESDA, WLD, Access Controls, and FAS integrated into the facility.
Advantage of Rotary UPS
- UPS power continuously available for every equipment of the data center, power outlets, and the entire campus.
- All cooling units remained in continuous operation even during power failure conditions.
- Automatic correction of Power Factor ensured stable and efficient operations.
