FKQ Data Centre Substation
The FKQ Data Centre (DC) Substation is a substation development part of a large DC Campus located in Frankfurt, Germany. The campus consists of nine transformers and two modular buildings.
BG&E was responsible for carrying out the civil and structural design of the project site and foundations. Structural works included the design of foundation systems (reinforced in situ concrete) for the modular buildings, transformer bunds and firewalls, and lightning mast bases. Civil works involved surface and foul water drainage design, site grading, routing and coordination of the 100kV electrical ducting, and designing the pavement plan and pavement build up details.
BG&E also provided ongoing construction support, which included assisting with site queries, RFIs, and MARs.
Construction of the site is ongoing, and works are expected to be completed by 2024.
