GERMANY
INTERNET PROTOCOL
GATEWAY & COLOCATION CENTRE, DÜSSELDORF
Two adjoining buildings have been redeveloped
to accommodate the needs of a global Internet
carrier in a 70,000 square feet Gateway and
Colocation centre development.
Constructed over three distinct phases, the
services for the complex development have been
designed to allow a staged fitout catering for
varying occupancy densities and future success
based capital.
The process of integrating the engineering
services within existing building structures
set a number of key challenges for the design
team, and involved close liaison with the building
owner.
Electrical plant for this build are located
at ground level, as incoming high voltage power
supply, transformers, generators and electrical
distribution for the facility has been incorporated
within the first phase.
Services by NDYnet include: Building Automation,
DC Power, Electrical Services, Emergency Power,
High Voltage, UPS, Fire Protection, Mechanical
Services, Public Health, and Security .

INTERNET PROTOCOL GATEWAY & COLOCATION CENTRE,
MUNICH
A 60,000 feet square IP Centre provides Internet
host and collocation services to IT industries
seeking data centre grade rental space to house
computer servers and networking equipment.
The centre was developed by an US International
IP Carrier to service network needs and the
growing demand for IP rental space in Munich.
NDYnet were engaged as the specialist engineering
services consultants for the development.
Engineering systems designed by NDYnet cater
for staged load growth and incorporate provision
for the uninterrupted installation of future
major plant to service increases in load demand.

100% can be generated locally when required.
The project involved the integration of an existing
structure with external shear walls requiring
2000mm deep cast concrete cable walkways to
be constructed between the main building and
external generator plants.
Mechanical plant is installed in external plant
compounds to make use of seasonal free cooling.
Chilled water mains are buried in trenches running
alongside the building before rising to serve
technical areas in ring formations.

INTERNET PROTOCOL GATEWAY
& COLOCATION CENTRE, HAMBURG
Developed on a "brown field" site, this 82,000
square feet Internet Gateway and Colocation
centre provided an opportunity to design a facility
that clearly demonstrated a 'best practice space
efficiency' policy.
The final design has provided the client with
optimum use of both land and building resources.
Simplicity and order in design has promoted
ease of construction and the ongoing maintainability
of key systems.
The building consists of an efficient, low
aspect ratio "warehouse" area. Plant forming
the EPG, UPS and DC systems, as well as the
backbone of the low voltage distribution, is
contained on the ground floor alongside collocation
space. The upper level of the warehouse contains
a further 40,000 square feet of clear technical
space. Heat rejection plant is housed in a rooftop
compound, further reducing property costs. A
two level glass fronted annexe to the building
contains administration, local operation control
centre and other support functions.
Services by NDYnet include: Building Automation,
DC Power, Electrical Services, Emergency Power,
