Fail Safe Facilities for Mission Critical

Today's critical facilities provide for uninterrupted performance 365 days a year, around the clock. Gilbane’s Center of Excellence (COE) for mission critical facilities, a virtual team of experts, is our conduit to the newest thinking on high density computing and our pulse to the ever-changing technology landscape. Gilbane’s COE brings to each client the experience from similar projects nationwide to provide planning and construction expertise on the latest advancements in cooling technology, redundancy design and sustainable strategies.

Essential to the construction of this uncompromising environment is the careful consideration for redundancy, single points of failure and a need for concurrent maintenance. Whether it be single-corded legacy equipment or high density blade chassis — a partnership with Gilbane Building Company assures that your Mission Critical facility will reliably and resiliently support technology from yesterday and today — while being nimble and scalable enough to accept the advanced technology platforms of tomorrow. Advancements in BIM and Gilbane’s virtual construction integration incorporating the 4th and 5th dimensions in modeling represent key tools that encourage thorough analysis of modular spaces configured for high density and legacy operations maximizing PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) or DCE (Data Center Efficiency) metrics without sacrificing reliability.
