Williams Notaro assisted TRW in evaluating and designing the upgrade of the Mechanical and Electrical systems in this mission critical data center. We closely coordinated with equipment manufacturers to precisely select and layout the equipment due to limited space in the service yard and in the building. The data center now features redundant mechanical and electrical systems and can continue to operate normally with a loss of utility power of more than 24 hours.
