DATA CENTER - REALIZING A MEGA HARD-DRIVE

Realizing the first Data Center under our folds primarily with regards to Contract Administrations. For building of these kinds, where the applications of Mechanical and Electrical (MnE) are of the optimum, almost 70% of the components. Comprising of a number of buildings namely, the Admin Block, in glass BOX, and the Data Center proper with one future Data Center, not build. For reasons of its utilitarian nature, we aptly called it the “Mega Hard Drive”, for their lack of personification and a rather austere and boring outlook that needed to be “fashioned” with “checked-board” and groove-lines. Partially clad with aluminium cladding and glazing, provide some significant presence of “high-tech” note in a very low-tech building methodology of barter and bricks. Most of the investments are spent on MnE, having the otherwise, first class equipment flown in from Spain, with jargon that only make sense to the specialists in this field, such as CRAC, STAGING and so forth. The security systems are of the superior consideration given the fact the it was “designed” by specialist across the border. Grills of aluminium louver surrounding the roof further hide away tons of MnE equipment that were occupying the upper most floor. Collectively, this “hard-drives” is a mega vessel waiting for vendors to come in to further equip them and operate them.

Not even staircase. Very limited air condition and very dependable on natural lighting and ventilations. By the way, Bandung air is cool and free. To offset on the capital expenditure, Return of Investment (ROI) is increased by maximizing floor space, typical commercial approach that is not very orthodox indeed. Yet, it is Column Free meaning it is supported by Rounded parameter Columns thus freeing the internal workspace.
