3. McKenney’s installed multiple replacement air cooling units at a large
Atlanta data center that remained operational during the course of the
project.

4. The Challenge
McKenney’s had to install one new air cooling unit per day at a data
center that handles global accounts and has no tolerance for
downtime. Detailed provisions were necessary to shut down and
remove old units—and install new ones—without disrupting cooling in
the massive server room.
The Solution
The McKenney’s team carefully planned each step, working long hours
to stage installation in sequence so operating units would remain
online while each one was being replaced. The structure of the raised
floors were modified to supported the unit transfers; removing
each old unit and stabilizing the floor for the next new unit.
McKenney’s also rerouted the ductwork without shutting down the
servers.

5. The Results
All units were operational on schedule with no data center downtime.
For another more complicated data center—where space is even more
restricted—the customer has requested that the same McKenney’s
team perform the work.
