Cooling and equipment loads
Develop the mechanical scope around the IT load, cooling equipment, and operating assumptions supplied by the team. Coordinate equipment power and the utilities needed by the selected systems.
Market
MEP Engineering for Data Centers
Cooling and electrical design coordinated with capacity planning, redundancy strategy, and power-system studies for data centers and mission-critical rooms.
Overview
Cooling and power decisions need to use the same capacity and operating assumptions. TPS coordinates mechanical loads, electrical distribution, equipment interfaces, and power-system analysis for data centers and mission-critical rooms. The owner’s redundancy strategy, growth plan, and maintenance requirements establish the design brief; the proposal defines the systems and studies that TPS will deliver.
Building systems
MEP scope for data centers
Power-system performance
Assess distribution, standby power, and the studies needed for normal, maintenance, and alternate operating modes. Connect capacity planning to the owner’s stated redundancy requirements.
Coordinated infrastructure
Use Revit/BIM coordination to review equipment, routing, and access against architectural and structural information. Scope utility feeds and duct-bank analysis where required.
Scope the assignment
A clearer brief. A coordinated deliverable.
What to send us
- Site location and planned IT or equipment load
- Owner redundancy and maintenance requirements
- Existing one-lines, floor plans, and equipment information
- Cooling concept and utility-service information
- Growth phases and target commissioning milestones
What we can deliver
- Coordinated mechanical and electrical design criteria
- Equipment schedules and system layouts
- Power-study reports for the agreed operating modes
- BIM coordination findings and scoped construction support
We confirm disciplines, licensing, sealing, and deliverables for the project location before agreeing to the scope.
What makes this market different
Sector-specific challenges
Concurrent maintainability
Every component must be serviceable without dropping IT load. We verify it across every failure and maintenance mode before construction.
IT growth vs nameplate
Sizing to nameplate IT load overbuilds the facility; sizing to current IT load underbuilds it for year-three growth. We model both curves.
Duct bank ampacity
Underground utility feeds are thermally derated by concrete encasement and adjacent circuits. CYMCAP studies confirm real-world ampacity.
Battery and runtime sizing
UPS battery sizing per IEEE 485 with proper aging factor avoids the 4 a.m. surprise that the strings don’t hold.
