Data Centre Work: Critical Power Solutions for Canberra & Sydney

Snowy Hydro T2 Banner

At Level Electrical Hume, we specialise in providing critical power solutions with an emphasis on precision, safety, and sustainability. The Data Centre Work project involved electrical works for the installation of new PODs within data centres across Canberra and Sydney. Our team completed this work efficiently, ensuring minimal disruptions while meeting tight deadlines and maintaining the highest standards of quality and safety.

Scope of Work

For the Data Centre Work project, the following tasks were undertaken:

1. Assessment and Planning

We conducted a comprehensive site evaluation to understand the project requirements, including power capacity and design needs. A strategy was developed to ensure all work was completed within a compressed timeline while maintaining the safety and functionality of the data centres.

2. Uninterrupted Power Supply Setup & Assembly

Our team was responsible for the installation and assembly of redundant UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) and battery systems. These systems were crucial in ensuring continuous power supply to the critical infrastructure of the data centres.

3. Cable Support & Power Systems Installation

We installed heavy-duty sub-mains, cable support systems, and rack-level dual redundancy power systems to ensure the reliability of power delivery across the data centre. This work also involved the careful installation of data cabling and connections for power monitoring

4. Clean Up

When completing the electrical installations, we will ensure the site is cleaned up by clearing debris, securing all electrical components, and performing a final inspection to verify that all systems are functioning correctly and safely.

Challenges and Solutions

The Data Centre project involved challenges related to tight schedules and operational constraints, each requiring a thoughtful approach:

Time-Sensitive Deadlines

With data centre installations, the need for quick turnarounds is essential. The design, quoting, and installation processes were often under tight deadlines, requiring effective coordination of resources. Our team ensured all necessary resources were available and managed efficiently to meet these strict timelines without compromising on quality or safety. This proactive approach enabled us to deliver on time, even under pressure.

Minimising Disruption in Active Data Centres

Working within a live data centre environment presented a challenge in minimising operational disruption. To mitigate this, we employed a phased approach, ensuring that the power systems were upgraded in stages to maintain continuous operation. By closely coordinating with other contractors and scheduling work during off-peak hours, we minimised downtime and ensured a smooth installation process.

Expertise and Equipment

At Level Electrical Hume, we utilise advanced machinery and equipment to ensure efficient and safe execution. Our team is experienced in handling complex projects with precision tools, such as:
