Our client is a leading worldwide biotechnology firm who conducts
business in over 70 countries and has experienced rapid growth.
As a result of recent expansion, particularly through acquisitions
and partnering, Syska Hennessy Group was engaged to assist in developing
global strategies to improve the reliability of our clients current
operations and plan for their future growth.
Syksa’s Critical Facilities team, comprised of Engineering,
Construction, and Facilities Management experts developed a long
term strategic plan to relieve the strain on our client’s
current data center systems. Using a proprietary Criticality
Levels Balance Sheet™, Syska performed a gap analysis and prepared
a strategic report for the research firm's stakeholders, which
covered immediate capacity needs and conceived of a six year program
to
accommodate significant growth. Syska also addressed their
desire to enhance the center’s reliability factor to meet
Industry Best Practice for a Global data center.
As the first step to address their capacity needs, we were given
the go ahead to design and construct the expansion of critical
power and cooling systems that support our client’s critical
data center and infrastructure. The expansion, completed without
interruption to the live facility and totaling 3,500 square feet,
will allow future expansions in 2006 and 2007 to be performed in
a scalable design process.
The project was delivered using Syska’s proprietary Outcome
E2C™ construction process. This process which combines the expertise
of our engineering and construction teams, allows for proper planning
and detailed scripting of all actions so that the construction
that was performed within without interruption of the critical
load.
