Type: Data Center Decommissioning

Scope: Disconnect all equipment, remove, return to original condition

Duration: 4 weeks

Client: Renown Health

Quantum met with Matt Grimes of CBRE in December 2014 to inventory the old Oracle data center in Reno NV.  Matt’s goal was to sell the building or find a new tenant who would utilize the data center assets.  If no buyer or tenant materialized, Matt was prepared for Quantum to do a complete decommission and market the building as office space only.  Within the next few months Renown Health purchased the property.  Matt referred Quantum to Renown, and their GC, Lindsey York sold Quantum the surplus assets and used Quantum to do the decommission and removal.

Project Details:
3516 SF raised floor including understructure and all conduit and cable beneath the floor.
183 Data Cabinets
7 Liebert CRAC units
4 Roof mounted condensing units
14 Transformers
40 Liebert XDO16DK-0 Air Conditioners mounted in ceiling
5 Electrical room switchgear line ups and panels
We visited the data center in December, several months before the project started. A Walk through is helpful in determining scope, forming a proposal, and identifying any unexpected conditions that may have been overlooked. The Air conditioners had to be removed through the windows on the second. Quantum hired a window contractor to remove and replace the windows. Quantum is certified in fork lift and telescopic fork lift operation. The roof top units were removed with a crane. Quantum personnel did the rigging and used a local crane company to pick the units. A pick plan is generally submitted to the owner prior to pick, insurance documents are filed, and permits are secured for road closures and nearby airports if applicable.
