July 2020
Installation on the North IT Room is under way. The main distribution frame, connects NTT’s infrastructure in the Hillsboro data center to the many providers and locations across the globe. The yellow and white track running above the MDF, otherwise known as the cable track, carries the signal from an enclosure to the MDF and out to the world. The patch panel acts as a handoff from the internet provider to the data center.
The fan walls are currently being installed to vault one. Our team uses slab flooring and a fan wall design to cool the data floor, making for a more efficient and sustainable alternative.
June 2020
The chillers have finished being installed. The chillers circulate cool water throughout the building.
The manufactured Medium Voltage Switch Gear have been delivered to the site. The team is tying in the medium voltage switch gear to the main utility provider adding power to the building.
April 2020
The prefabricated electrical modules have finished installation on the side of vault one.
The data center floor has been completed, currently the walls of the vault are being installed.
The pre-fabricated electrical modules have been installed at the first of NTT's Hillsboro, Oregon data center campus HI1. The pre-fabricated electrical modules are an essential part of the construction and design teams formula to delivering quality data centers quicker and more efficiently. By constructing the electrical modules offsite, the construction team is able to focus on other areas of the build while they are manufactured and shipped to the site.
March 2020
The construction team prepares for the prefabricated equipment to arrive on site by laying the foundation in which they will be installed. The foundation pads shown closer to the building are for the generators and electrical modules. The foundation pads shown further from the building are for the chillers. Simultaneously, the team prepares the inside of the building. This modular approach to construction allows us to get capacity online faster for our clients.
February 2020
Our construction team prepares the data floor by adding the essential infrastructure below neccessary for our future clients. Once all cabling and piping has been installed the data center floor will be poured, this slab floor and fan wall design ensures an effcient way to keep the data floor cool.
