Two existing chillers systems required replacement. Each chiller was replaced separately to maintain the required cooling to an Orange community Utility building. The chillers are located in a basement mechanical room with their heat-rejection equipment located directly above them. The area way above was re-roofed to establish a leak-proof environment in the chiller room below. The chillers had to be lowered into an area way adjacent to the Chiller room and then set-up in place through the use of rigging.

The Project replaced a 300 ton HVAC Cooling Tower located on the 4th floor roof of a major Utility Company building in Downtown Anaheim. It is part of a total building system which provides cooling to the equipment inside of the building. The building is a network hub for information moving up, down, and out of state. The unit replaced an existing unit that was 35 years old and no longer functioning properly. The crane work required that the access street be closed down for the duration of the lift. The project involved the coordinated efforts of Mechanical, Electrical, Roofing trades, & Steel Fabricators. The unit was put into operation before the summer heat set in.

Phase I & II The project consisted of the conversion of an existing Bio-Medical Facility to an Internet Data Center. Interior demolition, and construction of 70,000 sq. ft. of 32” raised data floor to support computer and network equipment, and 30,000 sq. ft. of administrative space to support internal operations and provide executive customer offices. New infrastructure included a new 12-megawatt utility service, (6) 3000 amp power service modules (switchgear), (6) 1500 kva N+1 redundant UPS Systems, (6) 300-ton air cooled chillers, and (6) 2-megawatt emergency generators to provide 100 watts per sq. ft. electrical/ heat load capacity. Also, included (3) 30,000 gallon underground fuel tanks to support the emergency generators, new fire detection with ionization detectors and VESDA air sampling, FM-200 fire suppression , and pre-action fire sprinklers in data floor space, and wet-standpipe fire sprinklers in the office space. Includes a sophisticated security system with palm readers, motion detectors, access card readers, and CCTV installed throughout the facility.

Phase III Construction of new 15,600 sq. ft. computer room with raised data flooring and four 1,350 sq. ft. UPS battery rooms. Installation two 2-megawatt diesel generators, two 3,000 amp switchgear lineups, two 1500kva UPS systems, fourteen 600 amp Static Switches/ Power Distribution Units, three 300-ton air cooled chillers, and eighteen Computer Room A/C Units. Included installation of fire detection and protection systems (including VESDA), and double-interlocked pre-action fire sprinkler systems in new space. Added CCTV and Security Systems for new Computer room areas and Battery Rooms.

A 15,000 S.F. (inside & outside of building) project to replace existing Underground Fuel Storage Tanks with new tanks to bring emergency fuel storage system into compliance with new local & state governmental standards. These tanks were for the storage of diesel fuel used to power five diesel electric generators which would power the entire building during any potential commercial power failures; insuring that vital service would not be interrupted to the surrounding community. The exterior excavation to expose the existing underground tanks was 120 feet X 100 feet X 30 feet deep. The excavation was set directly next to existing footings and foundations of a major utility building in downtown Anaheim. Three existing 20,000 gallon tanks were removed and were replaced by two 30,000 gallon tanks. All connecting piping and monitoring equipment between the tanks and the building was upgraded to current standards under the inspection by the City of Anaheim Fire Department, Southern California AQMD,and EPA.
