Speed
Overall Schedule
We propose the shortest and the best planning from Site selection to the Operation Startup
Obayashi's network will be utilized to find suitable locations for the construction of Data Centers.
Location Selection Requirements
Power supply must be available
- Ability to discuss with authority for EHV retraction（※）
※The timing of the EHV retraction should be discussed with the Electricity company.
Proximity and easy access to the downtown area
- High transmission speed
- Easily managed and operated
The location must be disaster resistant to natural hazards
- Solid ground
- Low risk of tsunami/flood damage （ Confirmation of hazard maps ）
Organization
- Provide one-point service to meet the customer's requirements
- Estimate, procurement and construction teams will provide prompt support to the management team
- Form alliances with highly specialized outside organizations to resolve issues
Planning
Speedily identify points of Data Center construction sites
roviding initial information to guide Land Purchase Decision-Making and Tenant Agreement Formation
Based on the extensive experiences, design and construction cost divisions work together to efficiently reflect requirement specifications in planning
Timely sharing of detailed design including separate construction coordination and neighborhood liaison, leading to contracts
Construction
Commissioning (Cx) policy
Commissioning is the process of documenting the building owner's performance requirements for building facilities and verifying that they are planned, designed, constructed, and operated according to those requirements.
In order to meet and facilitate the client's requirements for commissioning, the design team will work with the Cx Agent during the design review to prepare Cx plans, verify drawings, and conduct technical reviews. Design team also participates in Cx meetings as needed to ensure the workflow and progress.
Level 0: Design Review＆Plan
Level 1: Factory Acceptance Tests
Level 2: QA/QC Installation
Level 3: Start UP Tests
Level 4: Functional Performance Tests
Level 5: IST: Integrated System Tests
Level 6: Acceptance＆Handover
Commissioning Management Visualization
Tag stickers can be affixed to equipment to verify progress easily.
Commissioning Team Organization
We believe that early and close collaboration with clients' commissioning agents is critical to the success of commissioning.
Approach to Commissioning Planning
- Appoint and provide input to the Cx team in the early stages of the project.
- Develop Cx plan to support CxA and align design concept with schedule.
- Hold regular Cx meetings during the design phase.
- Weekly or bi-weekly Cx meetings during construction to discuss Cx implementation strategies.
Commissioning (Cx) Schedule Example
*Commissioning schedule may change depending on the project plan and the overall schedule.
BIM
Implementation of Building Information Modelling (BIM)
- We will propose the most appropriate BIM implementation method based on the use and shape of the building and the client's requirements.
- We provide a BIM cloud that allows 3D models to be shared among related parties and access necessary information from anywhere in a timely manner.
Merit of BIM
- The client, designer, and contractor can share the completion
- image and deepen communication.
- Preliminary confirmation of building functions and performance can be easily performed.
- Decision-making can be expedited.
- Powerful tools for efficient building management and maintenance.
One Model Style
- Obayashi's BIM is "One Model Style".
- One model is created and used in one file for all phases from design, construction, and operation.
- All information is consolidated and shared/updated by all members of the team to make the work more efficient.
- The BIM team proceeds according to the steps shown in the figure to facilitate the project.
