Bringing power, cooling and critical building systems together across four data centre buildings. And giving Interxion a coordinated M&E design developed through to detailed design.
PAR8–11 is a major data centre development in Paris comprising four buildings, each providing 19.2MW of IT capacity across three floors of data halls. Together, the campus delivers 76.8MW of total IT load.
At this scale, the electrical and mechanical infrastructure had to work together across a wide range of critical systems. The electrical design included three separate Enedis/RTE utility grid connections, MV/MV and MV/LV transformers, generator plant, UPS distribution, power management, switching, lighting, security and fire protection.
Ethos led the full M&E design through to detailed design. We brought the different systems together as one coordinated solution, covering the power backbone and supporting electrical infrastructure alongside the cooling and environmental systems required for the data halls.
The mechanical design combined water-cooled chillers, hybrid dry cooler integration and CRAH cooling with ventilation, humidity control and dedicated smoke extraction. Inergen fire suppression and StruxureWare BMS were also incorporated into the design.
The completed PAR8–11 development provides 76.8MW of critical IT capacity across four buildings, supported by a comprehensive mechanical and electrical design developed by Ethos through to detailed design.
