MEP Engineering & Design
Data Center & Mission-Critical
Power-system analysis, redundancy modeling, and critical-power engineering for high-availability facilities.
Overview
Data center power systems live or die by their ability to ride through every failure mode without dropping load. We model 2N, 2(N+1), and distributed redundant topologies; verify selectivity through every transfer; size UPS, generator, and battery systems for the actual IT load profile; and produce the documentation a Tier III or Tier IV commissioning agent will demand. We work directly with white-space designers, MEP firms, and GC partners like Turner Construction on facility builds and retrofits.
What's included
Scope of work
Topology selection and one-line development (N, N+1, 2N, 2(N+1))
UPS sizing for IT load with proper diversity and growth assumptions
Generator and paralleling switchgear sizing
Battery sizing per IEEE 485 / IEC 60896
Load flow, short-circuit, coordination, and arc-flash for all operating modes
Tier III / Tier IV documentation per Uptime Institute
Concurrent maintainability verification
Methodology
How the engagement runs
We agree on inputs, responsibilities, and deliverables before the work begins, then keep the design decisions connected through each stage.
Data Center & Mission-Critical: how the engagement runs
- 1Topology and redundancy modelingFailure-mode analysis on each proposed topology before equipment sizing begins.
- 2Sizing and selectionUPS, generator, battery, and switchgear sized against the actual IT growth curve, not nameplate IT load.
- 3StudiesLoad-flow, short-circuit, coordination, and arc-flash run for every operating mode including maintenance bypass.
- 4DocumentationTier certification documentation, commissioning script, and operations runbook prepared.
- 5Commissioning supportOn-site through Level 4 / Level 5 site integration and IST.
