Our client was supporting the commissioning of UPS for a new build hyperscale data centre. This hyperscale data centre had 5 UPS in total - four 3MW loads and one 600KW load. 

The client was confronted with an absence of a suitable local load bank fleet to test their UPS. The task at hand was made even more demanding by the data centre’s concurrent construction and testing timeline. This convergence of activities compressed various scopes including construction, electrical work, civil engineering, structural adjustments, and HVAC implementation.

Civil construction works were happening simultaneously to the scheduled load testing. This also meant there would be space constraints on site.

Because various tasks were occurring simultaneously, with each one predicated on another, it was imperative for each task to progress seamlessly. Any disruptions could potentially impact the already tight deadlines. Besides this, to ensure the testing timeline could be followed, it was crucial to foresee and plan for the frequent changes that typically happens with the load testing schedule at the last minute.
