Testing & Commissioning – Saudi Aramco Corporate Data Centre

Integrated Testing Consultant (ITC) services for the Saudi Aramco Corporate Data Center facility in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.

The project consists of 6,000 square meter of computer raised floor with a maximum of 1,500 square meter area in 4 individual compartments. The project also includes office and building support areas with the total building area of approximately 20,000 square meters.

Due to the critical nature of the facility, redundant power, cooling and communications systems are provided, based on TIER IV level design.

Separate compartments are used to house the lead and redundant systems to minimize the possibility of a failure of one system causing a failure in the redundant system or both systems being affected by the same event. The building also has sophisticated monitoring, control, fire detection and fire prevention systems.

The commissioning was performed in 4 Phases:

The Contractor was awarded to take over and lead the Performance Testing and Integrated System Testing.

The Contractor was responsible for coordinating the commissioning activities with all members of the project team including the owner’s facility staff, the design team, the general contractor, major subcontractors, the equipment vendors, and all other commissioning participants during Performance Testing and Integrated Testing.
