Confidential Client

TLM Group is providing both Project Management and Owner Representative Services for the construction of the Altoona, IA and Fort Worth, TX Data Center Campuses for this multinational Social Media client. When complete, the Campuses will consist of multiple Data Centers and multiple Administration Buildings.

The Data Center itself is comprised of multiple Data Halls, each Data Hall typically supporting a maximum load of 7.5 MW each. Servers in the data centers are designed to operate using 277 V, increasing electrical efficiency by reducing losses from transformers. The cooling for the Data Halls is designed to take advantage of the immediate environment in the specific location – using free cooling technologies when possible to further reduce energy usage or utilizing chillers and a sophisticated air intake / conditioning system including Petra DX units and ECH units per Data Hall.

It is expected that the buildings will achieve LEED Gold certification by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). One campus will be powered by 100% renewable resources provided by a 200 MW windfarm that was funded by the Client, while another Campus will utilize back up power provided by generators, along with an electrical substation expansion.

The Client will expand on both sites with existing Data Center buildings already “live” and operational so the work to tie the new infrastructure to the existing Campus requires carefully planned cutovers for all utilities and data systems.

The project construction coordination was done using 3D software to eliminate the need for changes in the field.

The Client had existing Data Center buildings already “live” and operational on site, so the work to tie the new infrastructure to the existing Data Centers required carefully planned cutovers for all utilities and data systems.

Confidential Client

TLM Group is providing both Project Management and Owner Representative Services for the construction of the Altoona, IA and Fort Worth, TX Data Center Campuses for this multinational Social Media client. When complete, the Campuses will consist of multiple Data Centers and multiple Administration Buildings.

The Data Center itself is comprised of multiple Data Halls, each Data Hall typically supporting a maximum load of 7.5 MW each. Servers in the data centers are designed to operate using 277 V, increasing electrical efficiency by reducing losses from transformers. The cooling for the Data Halls is designed to take advantage of the immediate environment in the specific location – using free cooling technologies when possible to further reduce energy usage or utilizing chillers and a sophisticated air intake / conditioning system including Petra DX units and ECH units per Data Hall.

It is expected that the buildings will achieve LEED Gold certification by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). One campus will be powered by 100% renewable resources provided by a 200 MW windfarm that was funded by the Client, while another Campus will utilize back up power provided by generators, along with an electrical substation expansion.

The Client will expand on both sites with existing Data Center buildings already “live” and operational so the work to tie the new infrastructure to the existing Campus requires carefully planned cutovers for all utilities and data systems.

Verne Global

TLM Group provided Owner’s Representative Services for the construction of a new Data Center Campus in Reykjavik, Iceland for Verne Global, an international Data Center Developer.

The Data Center Complex is situated on the site of the former Keflavik Naval Air Station, a location on the west coast of Iceland that was chosen for its extremely low risk of natural disasters. The site is away from Iceland’s volcanic activity, and the artic breezes and Gulf Stream winds push the effects from any volcanic activity towards Western Europe. The Scope of Work included renovating (2) two 120,000 SF existing buildings to become new Data Center buildings along with site and building infrastructure upgrades including building an on-site utility substation to provide 150 mVA of power at 132 kV / 11 kV and installing an air to air heat exchanger for cooling. A geothermal system was installed as back up cooling.

The Complex is able to fully utilize Iceland’s unique environmental power and cooling advantages: the electricity is generated by renewable energy resources (hydro and geothermal) and the cooling is accomplished by using the outside air natural environment, without the use of chillers or compressors.

The project was delivered using the Design Build method, which allowed for long lead items to be ordered and delivered to meet the short seasonal construction window time frame.

Confidential Client

TLM Group provided both Owner’s Representative and Project Management Services for the construction of multiple new, ground up Data Center Campuses for this multinational Technology Corporation client. Locations of the Data Center Campuses have been chosen to take advantage of and also to protect from natural conditions. For example, one location was chosen to take advantage of free, natural cooling while another location put the individual Data Center buildings on separate sites to mitigate the risk of damage by tornadoes. All the locations have an abundance of available land, relatively cheap renewable energy, access to high-speed fiber optic cables, and the low risk of earthquakes and other natural disasters.

The Scope of Work included construction of multiple Tier IV Data Center buildings with a total footprint exceeding 4,000,000 SF. The buildings structure and exterior skin create very efficient building shells, which generate significant energy savings. The electrical power is typically distributed in modular/skidded equipment which integrates the UPS, switchgear and management software into units that provide the flexibility for a scalable Data Center. The mechanical cooling systems are designed to utilize the climate in the specific area for a low cost, yet efficient system. Building envelope commissioning is done not only for a green design incentive but also to meet new, stringent local building codes and ensure long term energy savings.

TLM works with the team on an extensive QC/QA program that hasminimized field changes and reduced construction costs.
