DC01 Data Center

The construction was completed between February 2022 and March 2023. In just over a year, in the town of Jawczyce, we built a modern two-storey building with extensive technological space on the roof with a total gross area of 7,200 m2 (2,200 m2 net area for IT equipment) and a power allocation of 8 MW (total installed capacity of 12 MW).

The construction of the building is mixed: 

  • the foundation is in the form of a reinforced concrete slab
  • wall and columns are made of reinforced concrete
  • precast prestressed hollow core floorings (to provide open spaces in the DataHall) are also used

The scope of our work also included the development of the site, encompassing the delivery and receipt systems, a fire tank, underground fuel tanks with a total capacity of 160m3, MV/TT/TN networks and a road system. At the same time, we were also in charge of creating the civil engineering design. 

Our task was the first stage of building a data processing campus. Ultimately, the 4 ha plot of land will be developed with three buildings with a total area of 15,000 sqm, drawing power of approximately 50 MW.

Our ongoing work on this project has been supported by modern digital tools. We used Autodesk Construction Cloud, an electronic design documentation workflow platform. The solution was also used for health and safety measures and the collection of all current project documentation to which everyone involved in the design and construction process had access. Thanks to running the project in BIM methodology, we worked on one digital model at the same time and it was on this basis that the 2D documentation was created. Designing in 3D, on the other hand, has allowed us to automatically detect any kind of collision while at the same time introducing almost instantaneous revisions. During the construction, we also used solutions such as laser scanning, 360° imaging and QR codes, which allowed us to easily check and update the progress of the work.
