AlfaTech Qualifications – Data Center (pps 220415)

available, such as a lake or groundwater wells, this is a plausible option. Air discharge pattern to the underfloor or into cabinets can present design problems if improperly implemented, as the venturi effect can pull air from the data room back under the raised floor. Full hot and cold airstream containment strategies are favored whenever feasible to support efficient critical cooling air distribution. Particularly high power density facilities may even warrant direct liquid-based cooling instead of the more traditional air-based approaches. This is accomplished with liquid-on-the-chip, cold-plate, and liquid immersion cooling systems. At the onset of the project, AlfaTech will present a single point of contact that will coordinate the internal MEP/Technology team as well as be the direct day-to-day contact. Nathan Kirby, PE, ATD, LEED AP BD+C is our Mission Critical Practice Leader. He has over 17 years in the industry and he leads the project technical team who have extensive experience working with high-end data center programming and design projects. AlfaTech routinely operates at different levels of similar style design teams on international data center project and therefore uniquely understand the roles and responsibilities of each team member. In our role as supporting team members to the Coordinated Project Delivery Team, our role is to serve as the Data Center subject matter expert to support and facilitate the flow of information from the client to the design team members. Where necessary, our expertise is used to advise and recommend strategies and approaches to design based on our extensive industry experience.
