Olsson, an employee-owned engineering and design firm, will carry out the multi-level commissioning process to ensure all aspects of new construction are functioning within industry standards.
The company said that Phase one of the five-level commissioning process has recently been completed.
“We are extremely grateful to be working with such a reliable partner on this project,” said Todd Cushing, President of 1623 Farnam.
“This process is a vital part of our expansion project, and I have complete confidence in the capable team of Olsson designers and engineers. I have worked with Olsson on other projects in the past, which they completed efficiently and effectively, so when it came time to select an engineering firm to assist with the commissioning of our expansion Olsson was the clear choice.
“The 1623 team can rest assured that all of our equipment is held to the absolute highest quality standards and that all aspects of our expansion project will function as intended at deployment.”
The commissioning authority will develop test scripts and maintain logs to make sure any issues are corrected.
This commissioning process is used to avoid any critical equipment failure and to ensure backup systems respond correctly for the data centre project, according to the company.
“We applaud and thank 1623 Farnam for bringing us on board as the commissioning authority,” said Jim Dyer, commissioning lead for Olsson.
“While we are also experienced at greenfield commissioning, the 1623 Farnam project presented unique challenges as a retrofit with existing clients conducting operations in the building.
“It was exciting to use our experience and expertise to help our partner obtain the power and cooling infrastructure solutions they needed without interruption to their daily operations.”
