Digital Crossroads Lake Michigan
Hammond, IN

This new mission critical complex coverts a former, the world’s largest, coal-fired power plant into a new 1+ million SF, 100 MW data center campus. The first building is approximately 100,000 SF, scalable to 20 MW, takes advantage of the climate of the southern coast of Lake Michigan.

AHA provided Consulting, Master Planning, MP/FP Design, 3D Visualizations, and Renewable Energy services. Featuring cooling systems that utilizes Lake Michigan as a water cooling source and as cool ambient air, an ultra-low PUE that minimizes the environmental impact. The primary cooling system uses both air and water to manage the temperature inside the data hall, utilizing free cooling from both the lake water as well as indirect airside economizers to deliver and maintain server inlet air temperature requirements. The design is robust and flexible to allow varying configurations and rack densities within the data hall without the use of a raised access floor. Engaged by Digital Crossroads during the project’s early planning phase, AHA’s Advisory services included site master planning services.

eBay Mercury
Phoenix, AZ

This new, free-cooled, 12 MW modular data enter utilizes 8,000 SF of raised floor space for high density racks, and accommodates multiple high density server filled containers on the roof.

AHA provided MEP/FP Design services. The design concept included “hot water cooling” to support the requirement for year-round use of free cooling, despite the temperatures in Phoenix.

eBay Quicksilver
South Jordan, UT

This new 16MW, 2 story data center included Day 1 loads of 4 MW expandable to 30 MW of concurrent maintainable high density racks up to and above 30 KW per rack.

AHA provided MEP/FP Design services. The design utilized 8 MW of fuel cells as the primary power source, and met eBay’s flexibility and reliability requirements with low PUE and free cooling, reliability, using both air cooling and liquid cooling in different parts of the facility.

DataGryd
New York, NY

The 240,000 SF, 24 story building with a basement and subbasement was built in the 1930s. This project for the property was multi-phased and accommodated for high density power and cooling and structural needs of generations, cogeneration plants and UPS systems. As a historic building, careful consideration and coordination with the Landmarks Preservation Commission was needed to ensure the exterior work conformed to the required standards.

AHA provided MEP/FP Design services. Our BIM model was crucial in explaining our design solutions to the Commission.

CyrusOne
Phoenix, AZ

The new 182,000 SF complex combines a 10 MW, 100,000 SF data center with an 82,000 SF three-story office building.

AHA provided MEP/FP Design, and Energy & Sustainability services. The building’s infrastructure includes a below-grade duct bank from on-site substation to 15 kV switchgear. There are also multiple levels of redundancy available within the same footprint (e.g. N, N+1, 2N), 110 MW onsite substation, 300 kVA dual input PDUs with automatic transfer switches, scalable 2.25 MW Detroit Diesel dedicated generators pre-wired for additional capacity, and a 3,300 gallon belly tank each plus an added 6,000 gallon external tank for every two generators.
