Denver Water Module Data Center
Denver Water opted to build a modular Data Center, built and designed to operate autonomously from other facilities. The modular concept allowed the containers to be built offsite and pre-assembled with all the mechanical, electrical, and telecom infrastructure including cabinets and internal cabling. The modules were delivered and assembled in a day. Upon assembling the roof structure, installing the fiber optic cable, and connecting the system to the adjacent generator and chiller unit, the Data Center was ready for turnover to the client less than 30 days from arrival. The Modular Data Center includes the following: Three (3) Shippable Modules; Space to house 28 data cabinets and a critical IT load of 239 kW; A 320 kVA UPS in an N+1 configuration with cell level battery monitoring; LED lighting; Eight (8) In-Row Chilled Water Coolers in an N+1 Configuration; Redundant Chilled water configuration to allow for cooling from a central plant or redundant chiller; Humidification System in an N+1 Configuration; DDC Building Automation System; Clean Agent Fire Protection System; PUE of 1.16 (when utilizing central plant chilled water). The modular concept provides a separate and secure environment, an ability to easily expand in the future, and autonomy from other operations not compatible with the sensitive operating requirements of a data center. Since the installation is independent from other facilities, Denver Water can migrate new buildings and disconnect other buildings in a timely manner, without the stress of an off-hour cutover. The existing data center is in a building scheduled for removal. The modular concept will allow the new data center to be brought on-line in a timely and coordinated manner. Modular data centers are increasing in popularity for several reasons: Independence from other building construction schedules; Designed specifically for data center operations; Easily expandable by adding additional modules; Improved security with a dedicated access control and video surveillance system; Highly efficient containment system; Ability to meet redundancy requirements; Frees up higher cost square footage; Predictable budget; On-time delivery; A data center designed to meet one’s short and long-term operational objectives.

Gulf Coast Petroleum Plant
Safety, comfort, alertness, communication, and redundancy are all primary criteria for the Central Control Buildings (CCBs) for the Gulf Coast Petroleum Plant and their occupants/operators. Pairing the mission criteria with the specific program criteria, BCER has engineered redundant primary power sources, blast protected redundant heating/cooling, blast protected redundant safe haven pressurization systems, and robust technology systems to ensure 24/7 operation of CCBs. Variable heating, cooling, and lighting levels combined with underfloor supply air systems and individual control in control rooms promote an environment to increase operator alertness. The toxic mitigation and blast resistant systems provided an increase in the level of safety for the end users. The Marathon Central Control Building was located within their Garyville, Louisiana refinery. The design requirements included pressurization, blast hardening, safe haven, and redundant power and HVAC systems.

Value Plastics
In 2013, BCER began work on the design and construction of a new 115,000-sf manufacturing facility for Value Plastics. This project expands our extensive industrial resume with several unique features. One such feature is the 40,000 sf of clean rooms utilized for the manufacturing and assembly of plastic medical components such as fittings, valves, and tubing. Other highlights include a large compressed air plant, custom air handling units, high-efficiency lighting, and daylighting controls. This Loveland, Colorado facility includes office/administrative, manufacturing support, storage, and shipping. The $17,000,000 project was designed utilizing Revit to coordinate the base building MEP systems, ductwork, lights, ceiling, and structure for minimal field construction issues from the contractors.
