Innovative cable pathway solution for data centre commissioning

Innovative cable pathway solution for data centre commissioning

Aggreko overcame delayed load bank and electrical board access at a new Auckland data centre by designing an innovative cable pathway solution to route heavy cables directly to UPS link boxes on the third floor. This flexible approach enabled the client to complete L3 load testing on time and meet commissioning schedules despite on-site delays.
  • The Challenge

    Delayed load bank and electrical board access impacting commissioning schedules

  • The Solution

    Overcoming electrical board absence through innovative cable pathways in a data centre setting

  • The Impact

    L3 load testing completed on time

Client:A multinational electrical equipment supplier

Location:Auckland, New Zealand

Sectors:Data centres

The Challenge

Delayed load bank and electrical board access impacting commissioning schedules

Our client was supporting the load testing of a new data centre. However, without being able to source the load banks required for adequate testing, this would mean their commissioning schedule would be affected.

To make matters more complicated, external electrical boards – which typically provide an easy Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) interface for load banks – hadn’t been installed yet. As a result, the client needed a partner who could route heavyweight cables directly to the UPS link boxes on the third floor of the data centre. This unique challenge made for a much more complex setup. With constant customer delays on-site, this meant load testing schedules would be subject to last minute changes.

The client needed a partner who could find a solution and fulfil both these challenging requirements.
