Built redundancy beats paper.

Your A and B feeds look separated on paper. In the ceiling void they share a tray. You find out at commissioning.

Verify every redundancy path in 3D before concrete is poured

Three things to prove in the model before concrete is poured.

Power & cooling, proven in 3D

Electrical and cooling paths modelled and clash-checked before concrete.

Redundancy you can verify

Every N+1 / 2N path traced in the model: redundancy on paper becomes redundancy in the build.

White space & modular deployment

Rack layouts, containment and modular blocks coordinated for fast, repeatable roll-out.

From shell-and-core to commissioning

Three stages. Click any to expand the deliverables and BIM requirements at that stage.

Federated MEP models at LOD 400 with power and cooling redundancy verified before tender release. A and B paths confirmed physically separated. White space layout proven against rack density and tier targets.

Key processes

Power & cooling routing

Primary and redundant paths coordinated across HV, LV, UPS, generators, and cooling plant in a single federated model.

White space layout

Rack positions, containment, and services verified per hall for density and connectivity before fit-out scope is fixed.

Redundancy path verification

A and B feeds confirmed physically separated throughout the building, risers, ceiling voids, and cable trays audited in 3D.

Deliverables

  • Federated MEP models (LOD 400)
  • Power and cooling redundancy models
  • White space layout and rack planning models
  • Raised floor and busbar coordination
  • Coordinated GA and tender drawings

BIM requirements

BEP with redundancy protocols

Execution plan includes redundancy verification rules, power-path modelling standards, and commissioning gates from day one.

CDE by hall & tier

File structure mirrors data-hall layout and tier classification so every discipline works against the right redundancy requirements.

LOD by commissioning gate

Level of detail tied to design freeze, factory acceptance, and commissioning milestones, not generic project stages.

Hall-by-hall fit-out packages with redundancy verification reports and MEP sequencing models. Modular release with confirmed tie-in points to shared plant. Clashes resolved in the model, not in the ceiling void.

Key processes

Modular phase release

Hall-by-hall fit-out packages issued with confirmed tie-in points to shared power and cooling plant.

MEP installation sequencing

Power, cooling, and cable management installation coordinated per zone so trade overlap is planned not improvised.

Commissioning preparation

Equipment schedules and manufacturer data embedded for commissioning readiness from procurement onward.

Deliverables

  • Hall-by-hall fit-out packages
  • Redundancy path verification reports
  • MEP installation sequence models
  • Tie-in point coordination per phase
  • Commissioning preparation packages

BIM requirements

Clash cycle

Weekly federation reviews per hall with issues tracked in BIM Track to closure before installation.

LOD 400 audit

Risers, plantrooms, and busbar runs validated against fabrication tolerances and manufacturer geometry.

Synchro linking

Model objects mapped to hall-by-hall programme activities with tie-in dependencies surfaced.

As-built models, COBie data, and equipment schedules ready for handover without an additional data-gathering phase. Redundancy paths confirmed post-construction. FM and commissioning teams inherit a model that reflects the as-installed building.

Key processes

Commissioning data

Every piece of critical infrastructure carries full asset data, manufacturer specs, maintenance schedules, spare-parts info, embedded from procurement.

As-built verification

As-built models per hall confirm all systems installed per design. Redundancy paths re-verified against the as-installed building.

Commissioning-ready handover

Complete asset data and FM documentation delivered at practical completion. No separate data-gathering phase.

Deliverables

  • As-built models per hall
  • COBie asset data per system
  • Equipment and manufacturer schedules
  • Commissioning-ready handover documentation
  • Maintenance and spare-parts registers

BIM requirements

COBie validation

Asset data audited against the EIR's information requirement schedule, system-by-system.

IFC final drop

IFC 4.0 federation deposited in CDE with EIR sign-off attached per hall and per tier.

FM system handshake

Asset data mapped to client CAFM / EAM schema before transfer so commissioning teams plug straight in.

Six services. One delivery system

Every service we apply to a data centre runs through the same standard. Redundancy verified in 3D. White space planned hall by hall. Commissioning data embedded from procurement. FM-ready at handover.

BIM Delivery, coordinated multidiscipline model

BIM Delivery

Power, cooling, white space and structural shell coordinated as one federated model at LOD 400 before tender.
