As part of our development service we manage the design process. This is something that sineQN has always done, often with very large design teams on major data centre projects.
Good design management starts at the outset with team selection. Key experience across the design disciplines must be present and committed within the team. From engineering (eg mechanical, electrical, civil, structural, geotechnical, environmental, acoustic, fire, aerodynamic, materials) to architecture and technology, the design team must be streamlined and working to common objectives. Effective design management ensures that nothing is getting designed in isolation and that challenges in one area of design can be alleviated by flexibility in another.
Change is a constant in a sector where rapid advances in technology are changing the way data centres are developed. Incorporating change into a live design process must be managed effectively so that optimum outcomes can be achieved.
Ultimately, as well as meeting strict resilience and redundancy requirements data centres must meet owner operating objectives, while being secure, safe and future proofed. sineQN’s design management process ensures this outcome.
