FRA13 — Chilled Water Pipeline Installation

Project overview

Installation of 1,500 metres of chilled-water pipeline within a data centre, including full assembly of the insulation and support systems. The project covered precision welding, joint alignment, on-site testing and integration into the existing infrastructure.

Challenges and execution

A long chilled-water run in a sensitive data-centre environment required meticulous planning and strict quality control:

• Sequenced installation to minimise disruption to ongoing operations
• Precision welding and alignment for hydraulic efficiency and pressure integrity
• On-site pressure testing and inspection to verify system performance
• Insulation and support assemblies integrated for thermal efficiency and structural stability

Key deliverables

• A fully installed 1,500 m chilled-water pipeline
• High-precision welding and joint alignment
• Comprehensive pressure testing and quality verification
• Complete insulation and support system installation
• Documentation of all testing and compliance with engineering standards

Outcome and impact

A reliable, efficient chilled-water distribution system, installed with minimal operational downtime. Precise execution and thorough quality assurance secured long-term performance, flow efficiency and compliance with data-centre standards.
