Scope
The project involves enabling works within the live Telehouse South data centre to support a major upgrade increasing storage capacity.
Key elements include:
- Careful strip-out of redundant services and equipment across designated floor levels
- Coordination with live data centre operations to ensure zero disruption
- Controlled removal and management of waste materials within confined internal routes
- Installation and operation of an external loading platform to support waste removal
- Implementation of strict noise, vibration and dust controls to protect sensitive environments
- Continuous liaison with the client and stakeholders to maintain operational integrity
Challenges and Expertise
Operating within a live data centre required meticulous planning, coordination and communication to avoid any service interruptions. Downwell’s team adapted waste removal methods due to site constraints and proximity to a neighbouring hotel, mitigating delays through proactive resourcing and logistical planning.
Outcome
The works were completed efficiently and safely, enabling the new installation phase to proceed without disruption to Telehouse South’s live operations.
