Power to a new Data Centre, Sydney University

Elam was tasked with installing power for a new Data Centre at Building J13, Sydney University.

Two new Distribution boards were installed, a 48 pole for General Power and a UPS 24 pole board. In the event of a power failure, power from the UPS kicks in and keeps essential services in the data centre running for two hours.

Overhead Cable trays, powerdercoated gray, ran throughout data centre, providing dedicated power to the University’s Core switches and servers.

Lighting was attached to the underside of the cable trays, well away from Comms cabling, so as to eradicate induction hum on the Network.

Project Cost: $57K including the 40KVA UPS with Batteries.
