At this point, most of the equipment is in place and I don’t think we are in for any big changes in how things look:

Server cabinets are on the floor and power is being run.

In the transport area you can see the fiber being spliced.

We are really getting there…

Lots happening now that all the equipment has arrived:

Pulling wire from the transformer into the electrical room.

Load banks for testing the generators.

Wiring up the generators.

CRAH units.

Some video of the work in the electrical room.  Pulling wires and removing breakers for testing.

The switchgear has arrived a week early and everyone is relieved it’s here…

Talk about a tight fit!

We are picking up speed this week as the large equipment arrives…

Generators

Chillers

UPS and battery cabinets

Maintenance bypass switchgear and PDU’s

One of the NOC offices and some RPP’s

Late next week they will begin installing the floor tiles in the data center.  When that is complete I believe we will see some dramatic changes in a very short period of time.

The cabinets have arrived and are temporarily staged on the north side of the building.

The chiller pipes are now insulated and the loop is complete.

The ceiling grid is about 75% installed.  Overhead lighting as well…

Tomorrow the chillers and UPS’s arrive, and the follwoing day the generators will be delivered.

They are moving right along with the conduit installation and are ready to pour the concrete pads for the switchgear.

HVAC units for the electrical room, along with chiller pipes.  The pipes are now insulated.

How do you install 10,000 square feet of ceiling grid in about four hours?  Lots of guys wearing stilts.  And let me just say that these guys are amazing.  They literally jump up onto the stilts and then buckle them on.  I wouldn’t want to fall…

The CRAH units have been delivered and are awaiting installation.

Chiller pipes

Ductwork

Concrete pads for the generators

Chiller pipes are being welded, and four foot diameter ductwork hung from the ceiling

Trenching and conduit for generator power

Transformer

Concrete piers for chillers

On the left is the conduit for the switchgear, and then a picture of the general activity.   Those round tubes are the main ductwork for the HVAC.
