Data Centers

At Stelic, we understand the critical role that data centers play in today’s digital landscape and are committed to supporting facilities that meet the highest standards of performance, security, and availability. Whether you’re building a new Tier III or Tier IV data center, upgrading an existing facility, or implementing a hyperscale or colocation solution, our team has a proven track record of delivering data center projects of various scales, from small-scale edge computing facilities to large-scale, multi-megawatt hyperscale data centers.

We Understand Data Centers

Regulations

Understanding of the intricate network of regulations and standards governing data center construction projects, including ANSI/TIA-942 (Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Data Centers), NFPA 75 (Standard for the Protection of Information Technology Equipment), and ASHRAE TC 9.9 (Mission Critical Facilities, Technology Spaces, and Electronic Equipment).

Power Usage

Knowledgeable in data center facilities that optimize power usage effectiveness (PUE), cooling capacity, and network connectivity

Permitting

Experience navigating the complex permitting and approval processes associated with data center projects, including critical facility permitting, electrical and mechanical system approvals, and compliance with local, state, and federal regulations.

Design

Insight in design practices, such as modular data center design, liquid cooling systems, and renewable energy integration, that are compliant with green building standards such as LEED and BREEAM.

Type

Experience in a wide range of data center facilities, including hyperscale data centers, colocation facilities, edge data centers, and high-performance computing (HPC) centers, adhering to requirements, such as Uptime Institute Tier Standards and ISO/IEC 27001 (Information Security Management).

Coordination

Develop phased construction plans and temporary facilities that minimize disruption to ongoing data center operations, utilizing live environment protocols and collaborating closely with data center stakeholders.

Infrastructure

Understanding of data center construction that prioritizes flexibility and adaptability, incorporating scalable infrastructure, modular power and cooling systems, and advanced network architectures to accommodate future changes in IT equipment density, power requirements, and connectivity demands.

Quality

Track record of delivering data center projects that meet the highest standards of quality, reliability, and performance, with a rigorous quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) process that includes commissioning, integrated systems testing, and compliance audits to ensure adherence to all relevant codes, standards, and industry best practices, such as ASHRAE Standard 90.4 (Energy Standard for Data Centers) and BICSI 002 (Data Center Design and Implementation Best Practices).

Logistics

Manage the complex coordination and logistical challenges associated with data center construction, utilizing project management tools and lean construction principles to optimize resource allocation, minimize waste, and ensure the seamless integration of specialized data center systems, such as uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, generators, and precision cooling units.

Customization

Work closely with our data center clients to develop customized solutions that align with their unique operational requirements, growth strategies, and financial objectives, employing total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis, performance benchmarking, and risk assessment techniques to optimize the long-term performance, scalability, and resilience of each data center facility, while ensuring strict adherence to reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) standards.
