At F.E. Moran, we understand the mission-critical nature of data centers—where every system must be designed, installed, and completed on time to ensure seamless operations. This 275,000 sq. ft. new construction project required a highly complex underground plumbing system, featuring 14,000 linear feet of piping, including 3,500 feet of underground pipe, to support the facility’s critical infrastructure.
Data centers operate on tight schedules, where every day of delay costs the owner revenue. With accelerated timelines and strict turnover requirements, our team’s expertise in underground infrastructure, condensate drainage, and heavy-equipment excavation ensured the project stayed on schedule and on track for seamless owner turnover.
✔ 14,000 linear feet of plumbing systems
✔ 3,500 feet of underground piping for condensate drainage and sanitary waste
✔ Heavy excavation using large excavators, trench boxes, and underground shoring systems
✔ Booster pumps for efficient water distribution
✔ Precision drainage system for handling condensate from data center cooling equipment
✔ Turnover on schedule to ensure immediate facility operation and revenue generation
F.E. Moran’s ability to manage, install, and coordinate complex underground plumbing ensured the facility was delivered without delay—allowing the owner to begin operations immediately.
Chilled water drainage is vital in data centers, where massive cooling infrastructure produces significant condensate that must be efficiently removed. Our drainage system design and installation accounted for:
✔ Sanitary waste removal from cooling system condensate
✔ Gravity and pumped drainage solutions to accommodate facility layout
✔ Leak prevention through integrated trench drains and floor drains
✔ Corrosion-resistant materials to ensure long-term system reliability
Proper condensate drainage prevents equipment damage, excess humidity, and operational disruptions—all of which are mission-critical in a 24/7 data center environment.
✔ Accelerated Schedule: This project demanded a tight, high-pressure construction timeline. Our team executed efficient trenching, piping, and underground system installations to stay ahead of schedule.
✔ Large-Scale Excavation: With heavy machinery, underground shoring systems, and trench boxes, our team navigated complex site conditions to install plumbing systems safely and accurately.
✔ On-Time Turnover: Meeting turnover deadlines was critical to allow the owner to start operations immediately and generate revenue without delays.
✔ Proven ability to execute mission-critical infrastructure projects
✔ Expertise in underground plumbing and drainage for data centers
✔ Advanced coordination to meet accelerated schedules
✔ Seamless integration of critical mechanical and plumbing systems
At F.E. Moran, we deliver high-performance plumbing solutions that meet the demands of data centers—on time and without compromise.
