Phoenix ME undertook the lead co-ordination and installation of a new independent N+1 1MW Data Hall. Currently positioned within a live data facility.
Data hall 7 consisted of 2 areas, 7A which was fitted out, and 7B which was left as an empty shell. Hall 7A utilises the new cold aisles with a cooling water system from the existing data centre infrastructure, supplying the computer room air cooling (CRAC) units located in the hall; All serviced by means of pre-fabricated mild steel pipework located within the floor.
The data hall had new electrical supplies that was installed on co-ordinated containment from the Fujitsu existing switchrooms and data hall 7. These supplied new Power Distribution Panels, CRAC Distribution Panels & Distribution Boards. The hall has been divided between an A supply and a B Supply. All A&B PDU’s feed the 250A 5Pole busbars that have been installed for the data cabinets. The CDP’s feed the 8no. CRAC units, these have integral ATS switches should there be mains failure. Both distribution boards supply all the lighting and general power
The project has a new lightning protection system that was installed from the roof of the new building to 8 individual earth pits dedicated to the data hall 7 building.
Data Hall 7 had extension to the existing BMS, security, lighting control, fire alarm system, VESDA system, sprinkler system & gas suppression.

We were appointed to work closely with the Client and design team to enable a swift transition from stage E to F. Early engagement was crucial to achieve the fast track program dates.
The initial emphasis of the works was to upgrade the buildings Infrastructure throughout the Aldwych quarter therefore future proofing all floors to allow greater occupancy for years to come.
These services included new essential rising Bus bar, new ventilation network including chilled & heating pipework, resilient structured cabling network, with communication Rooms fitted out on every floor of AQ including UPS systems, lighting/power, DX cooling and modifications to Fire, Security/access control and BMS systems.
This Fit Out project involved the Cat B MEP fit out of three 9 storey buildings including Heating, Cooling, Lighting, lighting control & Small power to General use study spaced, Specialist lecture theatres, an Auditorium, general open learning spaces, Kitchens, Café, Shop, Exhibition spaces and ongoing works to the Student union bar and exhibition spaces. KCL Design Team and Phoenix ME worked closely to plan, develop and implement the works to the highest quality and delivery against a challenging timeframe.

Located in Shoreditch and completed across two phases for Amazon, the CAT A fit out at Principal Place consists of 15 floors of office space, specialist AV and break out areas, kitchen, restaurant and coffee bars.
Over a 24-month duration PME undertook the full electrical installation works consisting of general and mechanical power, lighting and specialist lighting, lighting control system, fire detection and alarm system, UPS system and LV upgrades to the base build infrastructure.
The project consisted of a mixture of exposed service areas as well as traditional suspended ceiling areas.
Over 70 types of specialist Luminaires were installed throughout the project ranging from LED tapes within joinery to bespoke 3 meter x 1.5 meter fabric pendants and 3 meter diameter halo pendants.
UPS systems were installed to support the 2 Main Data Frame rooms and 16 Intermediate Data Frame rooms all distributed via new rising busbar systems.
Small power throughout the floor space was distributed utilising low-level power bar systems as well as hard wired SWA networks for kitchenette and specialist floor finish areas.
The base build lighting control system was extended to ensure all new spaces had individual scene setting capabilities as well as full integration with the audio visual and blind systems.
The Fire detection and alarm systems were also extended from the base build system providing fully addressable detection and PAVA and void detection was installed in the form of aspiration detection.
The project was completed on time to a very high standard and was received very well by the client.
