Following a significant rise in operating temperatures at a London data centre, urgent cooling infrastructure works were undertaken to safeguard critical operations and restore system stability. The scope included DACS fan maintenance, protective screen reinstatement, MSU replacement, and targeted mechanical upgrades across 360 units.

Project Overview

Semper Services delivered a critical emergency temperature management project for a London data center facing severe pressure from high temperatures. The project involved comprehensive cooling infrastructure support for DACS fan systems and protective screening components using high-level access strategies, alongside the strategic replacement of Main Switch Units (MSUs) and essential mechanical upgrades to ensure optimal performance and restore operational efficiency.

Critical Data Center – Cooling Infrastructure Support

Scope of Works

  • Installation of multiple high-level access towers

  • Critical maintenance of 360 DACS fan infrastructure units

  • Re-installation of protective screening to DACS units

  • Replacement of Main Switch Units (MSUs)

  • Mechanical upgrades to support DACS units including component replacements

  • 10-operative team deployment

Solution / Delivery

Executed through a precise high-level access strategy requiring systematic coordination, integrated with mechanical improvements:

  • Dismantling & re-erecting towers between cooling zones

  • Precision re-labelling and configuration of protective screens / Implementation of targeted mechanical upgrades alongside cooling infrastructure support to optimize DACS performance

  • Team-based execution with strict supervisor oversight

Outcome

The intervention successfully relieved critical temperature pressure on the facility. All 360 DACS fan infrastructure units were fully serviced and reinstated to original specifications, and critical MSUs were replaced, ensuring the continued operational integrity and cooling efficiency of the data center.
