Data Center Cooling Water Utility Construction Contractor in Potsdam, NY

Data Center Cooling Water Utility Construction in Potsdam

Cooling is the single biggest non-IT load at a data center, and the buried piping that supports it has to be installed before the building envelope closes. Backwell installs cooling water utilities in Potsdam for chilled-water loops, condenser water runs, cooling tower make-up, and the pump house infrastructure that ties them together.

Cooling water utility work in Potsdam is a tight coordination job. We trench and install large-diameter ductile iron or HDPE supply lines, set thrust blocks at every bend, run condenser water and chilled-water loops to the mechanical contractor's tie-in points, and hydrostatic test every segment before backfill. Cooling tower pads and basins are built to mechanical drawings with the embeds the tower contractor needs.
