Verizon

Multiple Locations, Maryland, Virginia and D.C.

Encon’s project experience dates back greater than 30 years. Design services included chilled water plants and DX based air conditioning systems, digital energy management controls, electric service upgrades, power distribution, DC power and cable rack design, generators, security systems, plumbing and fire suppression systems. Design services were provided for Data Center, Central Office and General Office facilities.

ACS Building 6 Data Center Conversion

Dallas, TX

Conceptual planning and detailed engineering design for the conversion of a 22,000 square foot printing facility to a 15,000 square foot hosting Data Center with 7,000 square feet of support offices.

The mechanical design included 16 down-flow split system DX air conditioning systems with roof top condensers for the Data Center. The project also required a new air conditioning system for the support spaces, an expanded ventilation system and fuel oil distribution piping.

Electrical power and distribution requirements included the replacement and upgrade of the existing electrical service, a UPS system with four 750 kVA units, four 1000 kW generators with paralleling switchgear and automatic transfer equipment.

Fire protection included the installation of a dry pre-action fire suppression system and a new air-sampling smoke detection system.

ACS Data Center Addition

Pittsburg, PA

Encon provided conceptual planning and detailed engineering design for a 10,000 square foot Data Center addition to an existing complex.

The mechanical design will include 12 up-flow and down-flow air conditioning units with expanded heat rejection capacity to support new cooling demand.

Electrical design will include the expansion of the existing electrical service, additional UPS capacity and standby power generator capacity with automatic transfer equipment.

Fire protection design will include the expansion of the existing dry pre-action fire suppression system and new air-sampling smoke detection system.

DCI Data Center UPS and Generator Installation

Charlotte, NC

This project involved Conceptual planning and detailed engineering design to upgrade an existing 18,000 square foot hosting Data Center.

The mechanical design criteria included the installation of new glycol based air conditioning systems to meet expanded site cooling demands and redundancy.

Electrical design included a new 750 kVA UPS system, 1500 kW generator with provisions for a second primary power feed. Automatic transfer equipment was added along with re-circuiting of distribution equipment to add diversity and redundancy for increased reliability.
