Project Overview
Our mechanical team completed a critical condensate drainage infrastructure upgrade for a major data center facility in Paris, ensuring the reliability of cooling systems supporting mission-critical IT operations. The project involved comprehensive replacement and upgrade of FCU drip trays and condensate pipework across the facility, addressing existing failures and implementing preventive solutions to safeguard against water damage risks.
Scope of Works
Installation of new copper condensate pipework systems
Installation of connectors and drainage settings
FCU drip tray assessment and replacement programme
High-level access works for cooling infrastructure
Comprehensive testing and commissioning of drainage systems
