3. With commercial office employees adjacent to a data center work area,
a McKenney’s service team installed redundant HVAC condensers and
piping.

4. The Challenge
As a mission-critical facility, McKenney’s needed to maintain uptime in
an active data center and office. Noise and smoke had to be
contained while running 6,000 feet of copper piping below a raised
floor with existing wiring, piping and conduit. Copper piping was also
run above the suspended ceiling, and coring was necessary through
reinforced walls to run outside refrigerant lines.
The Solution
Two dedicated technicians removed raised floor tiles in sections to
maintain air circulation, used smoke eaters and a fire watch, and
performed all loud, disruptive installation after hours. In order to
route, keep the piping level and prevent oil traps, a piping map was
laid on top of the raised floor and specified height standards were
followed.

5. The Results
Professional planning and expert piping practices resulted in the
condenser farm being installed with zero downtime and no customer
productivity loss.
