Construction of a new data center building, Interxion: A Digital Realty Company / Frankfurt am Main, Germany

The demands

This project involved execution planning for the complex and state-of-the-art infrastructure of a data center on the basis of the preliminary design within a tight time frame. The planning had to be executed bilingually (German/English) and using BIM. RK-Plan was part of a planning team that worked in close consultation with the client.

The planning needed to incorporate redundant systems, factor in the construction of the building in four construction stages and comply with the service level agreements (SLA) for room temperature and humidity in accordance with ASHRAE standards.
