Location: NJ

Type: Data Center Decommissioning

Scope: Decommission of 100,000 square feet of data center and colocation facilities on 3 floors.

Duration: 3 weeks

Client: LeFrak

When LeFrak, a worldwide leader in real estate development, took over as managing agent of 111 Tower Square Plaza in Jersey City, they hired Joe Ryan of Ryan Real Estate who partnered with Hidalgo Communications and Atlas Communications to rebuild and market approximately 100,000 square feet as data center and colocation facilities.

The first task was to clear out 3 floors of old data center infrastructure equipment left by Morgan Stanley, a former tenant of the building.  The clean out would both prepare the floors for build out, and make them presentable to prospective tenants.  Ryan Real Estate recommended that LeFrak use  Quantum Technology.

The scope involved the removal, sale and recycling of close to 1000 data cabinets and racks, the pulling back of extensive fiber and cable runs, and proper terminating of subfloor electrical connections.  The cable extraction and termination beneath the raised floor was particularly sensitive. If any cables were not pulled or properly terminated, the subsequent activation of those lines could cause electrocution or fire. Quantum completed the job in 6 weeks. The material was sold or recycled, and the job was completed at no cost to LeFrak.

LeFrak hired Quantum Technology several more times to remove switchgear and other data center assets including raised floor, CRAC units, UPS systems, electrical panels and switchgear.  All equipment and material was either resold or recycled.
