TKLP's integrated, full-service planning and design services are provided by specialty groups.
The Data Processing Center group includes architects and engineers with sp>ecialized experi
ence in data center design, communications, security and reliability. We have designed
non-mission-critical centers through hardened, highly reliable, command centers for the De
partment of Defense. We have designed centers with raised floors of 5,000 SF through 120,000
SF. We have performed complete reliability programs, including modeling operations and
maintenance, construction testing, user interface, and system design. We have given semi
nars, are published, and have consulted internationally on data center design. TKLP has
prepared a design guideline manual on data center design starting from strategic planning
through commissioning and operations.
Explain why your firm's experience is applicable to this particular project.
TKLP has provided the A/E design for the Merrill Lynch data center in New York City as well
as the MEP design for the Shearson Lehman Brothers data center in New York City. We know
how to work in New York City. TKLP has a much greater depth of services in data centers
than most MEP consultants. Some of these items include, cabling, security, reliability, strategic
planning, testing of building systems to commission them, assistance in the management of
the testing process, training of the data center's operations personnel, preparation of system
operating manuals for the operating personnel's reference. This experience allows TKLP the
understanding of what is needed in a design to operate, maintain, and run a reliable data
center.
