First Case installed around 680 m of busbar in a colocation data center in Rotterdam, split across a high-power main distribution run and the distribution busbar to the rack rows. Handover ran through a Site Acceptance Test, within a window of six to eight weeks.
Around 680 m of busbar installed in a Rotterdam colocation data center, handed over via SAT.
Busbar is the backbone of power distribution in a data hall: reliable, expandable and tightly mounted. In a colocation data center in Rotterdam, First Case installed around 680 m of busbar, a high-power main distribution run plus the fine-grained distribution busbar to the rack rows. The work took place in an active environment, on weekdays and within fixed windows. The client wanted one crew to set out, mount, support and hand over test-ready.
The scope: four main busbar runs (~200 m) and forty-eight distribution busbar runs (~480 m), including support structure and insulation testing. Tap-off boxes were out of scope; handover ran through a Site Acceptance Test.
Four high-power main busbar runs are mounted and aligned.
Forty-eight distribution busbar runs bring power to the rack rows.
The busbar is mounted on a fixed support structure, supported to measure.
Before handover, each run is checked with an insulation tester (Megger).
The system is handed over via a Site Acceptance Test, confirmed run by run.
Before the busbar goes up, the route is set out per hall and the support structure is mounted. Aerial platforms and rolling scaffolding make the work at height safely reachable. The supports are placed to measure, so every run sits tight and carried.
Four main busbar runs and forty-eight distribution busbar runs are mounted, around 680 m together. The runs are aligned and fixed joint by joint. The work happens in an active data hall, on weekdays within fixed windows.
Before handover, each run is checked with an insulation tester for a healthy insulation resistance. Then the Site Acceptance Test follows, in which the system is confirmed run by run. Only after a passed SAT is the installation considered handed over.
A fixed flow: set out, mount, measure, test, hand over.
Route set out and support structure mounted to measure.
Four main and forty-eight distribution busbar runs mounted.
Each run checked with an insulation tester.
The system confirmed run by run via SAT.
From start to passed SAT within six to eight weeks.
The busbar sat tight and measured in place, and the SAT confirmed it in one go. One crew from set-out to handover saves us coordination on the floor.
Total maintenance of the entire electrical installation of a hyperscale data center in North Holland with a fixed supervisor-led crew, more than 200 planned working days over several months.
12 Schneider Galaxy VXL UPS systems placed and fully DC-cabled in a colocation data center in the Amsterdam region, 144 cables of 95 mm², every conductor labeled.
A new busbar system tested with a 1 MW loadbank, both feeds loaded separately and in steps, with five compact units under a single remote control.
