Critical Systems and Data Center Facilities (89 projects)

Project Description:  BCBSAZ is committed to provide future buildings that contain user-friendly space, as well as the flexibility to allow multiple changes in space configurations to accommodate company structure changes. The Townley Campus, Phase 1 is one of the first BCBSAZ projects to use this approach.

Consisting of a two-story Data Center and a four-story Office Building, this project includes approximately 150,000 SF of interior build-out with a cafeteria, workspaces, computer server rooms, conference and multi-purpose rooms.

Staff areas were designed to have plenty of natural day light, access to views, spaces for interaction with colors and finishes that promote well-being and productivity. The data center on the Townley Campus includes MEP support systems, resulting in a Tier III Redundancy Level

Scope of Work:  TMCx Solutions successfully commissioned the critical mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, from design reviews through construction. Specific tasks included design reviews & consulting, creating a commissioning plan, contractor Pre-functional Checklists, verification, documentation, managing commissioning activities and meetings, administering the issues logs, directing all TMCx developed functional test procedures, complete Integrated Systems Testing, with multiple failure scenarios, and writing the final commissioning report.

Results: To meet BCBSAZ requirements and using all in-house solutions, TMCx provided a true turn-key approach by supplying all Electrical Acceptance Testing to meet NETA Standards, Circuit Breaker Primary Injection Testing, Power Quality Data Recording/Analysis, Portable Load Banking that included a simulated client raised floor IT production load, and Infrared Thermography.
