Expansion projects - Auckland, Hamilton and Christchurch

Connecting people and technology is at the heart of Datacom’s vision, and the expansion of key data centres at sites across the country absolutely puts customers’ needs at the centre of their business. A specialist project team was put together to deliver the expansion projects, with The Building Intelligence Group as the external Project Manager and Engineer to Contract, working with Beca and Fletcher Construction.

Three highly technical projects were delivered concurrently in three cities: Auckland’s Orbit-2, Hamilton’s Kapua-DF12 and Christchurch’s Gloucester Data Centre. Datacom’s reputation is built on its ability to provide continuous service to its customers, so it was vital that the projects were carried out seamlessly and with no interruption to services. The range of expansion work included internal fitouts, the construction of new data floors, and additional power modules to offer unmatched data storage capabilities.

Having the same team across all three projects ensured the same consistently high standard of delivery while business operations in existing floors could continue unencumbered.

lyttelton port company channel dredging

In a 24/7 operation, the Fairway super dredge lengthened the Lyttelton Port channel by approximately 2.5km and widened it by 20 metres and deepened it by up to two metres. The channel provides Canterbury’s importers and exporters the best possible and most-cost effective international shipping solutions.

Suction pipes moved across the seabed suctioning mud and silt into a hopper with a capacity of 36,000m3. Material was held in the hopper until full and then disposed of at an approved spoil ground located 6km offshore.

Lyttelton Port Company implemented the largest environmental monitoring programme ever undertaken for a New Zealand dredging project. 14 dedicated gauges deployed throughout the harbour and off-shore measure a range of factors including water turbidity, pH and temperature. The project included the installation of nine new marine based navigational aid towers, six land based navigational towers and six new spar buoys throughout the harbour.
