Confidential Data Center
Confidential Data Center | San Antonio, TX
This data center project includes the greenfield construction of a two-story, approximately 300,000-square-foot core and shell building in San Antonio, Texas. The structure features steel and pre-cast construction and all required site infrastructure.
scalable, reliable and future-ready Data Center Infrastructure
This project is tailored to support customer growth and operational excellence.
Facility Layout
- Data Halls: Approximately 140,000 square feet of data hall space.
- Support Spaces: Office areas for staff, loading docks and equipment storage.
Electrical Infrastructure
- The facility will include a phased installation of up to 40 MW of critical IT power, fed from two (2) 34.5 kV main switchgear.
- Electrical systems will include transformers, switchgear, UPS modules, static transfer switches (STS) and power distribution units (PDU).
- The project includes a total of 40 MW of critical IT power, distributed across five (5) data halls.
HVAC and Cooling
- Critical HVAC will be provided by air-cooled chillers with supplemental direct expansion (DX) cooling.
- The system will feature hot aisle containment to optimize energy efficiency and maintain equipment performance.
Electrical Topology
- The electrical system will employ a block-redundant design, enabling scalability for customer needs through phased implementation.
- Standby power systems will include static UPS modules with battery backup and diesel engine generators to ensure reliable power during outages.
Driving Efficiency Through Prefabrication
To effectively deliver on the owner’s goals for speed, efficiency, quality and safety, the team is leveraging its extensive advanced tech expertise, key strategic partnerships, industry-leading prefabrication capabilities, and a collaborative, solution-oriented mindset.
This approach minimizes delays due to redesign or system conflicts in the field, building greater predictability into the installation schedule and reducing complexity. In addition to the electrical skid prefabrication, the project is also employing prefabrication on telecom and media voltage duct banks, further boosting safety, schedule and quality.
Representing this owner’s first foray into widespread use of prefabrication on a data center project, the San Antonio facility is designed as a prototype for future buildings on this five-building campus. In addition to prefabrication, the DPR-led team has implemented a host of other solutions. Among them: turnkey procurement strategies for owner-supplied equipment, a centralized equipment rental solution, a cost saving site fill and grading solution, and much more.
