University at Albany, SUNY Data Center
Albany, NY
Client: Shen, Milsom, & Wilke, Inc.
RAN Fire Protection Engineering assisted SUNY in identifying alternate sites to relocate the new main data center. Included in the study was a “blueprint” for a state-of-the-art Data Center design that identified the basic and specialized building systems necessary to support this function as it related to the overall campus. Our engineers identified the basic specialized building systems necessary to support the relocation related to the overall campus.
Construction Cost: $200,000 Size: 10,000 sq-ft
OFT Data & Network Center
Albany, NY
Client: NYS Office of General Services
The OFT Data & Network Center located on the 3rd and
4th floors of the Ten Eyck building in Albany needed to
upgrade their fire detection and suppression systems as they were beyond their useful lifespan. Engineers from RAN Fire Protection Engineering developed design criteria for the installation of an air sampling detection system that was interconnected to a Sapphire suppression system and a double interlock pre-action system. The final design concept allowed for quicker detection and suppression of a fire within the data center housing 13 different state agencies.
Construction Cost: $766,000 Size: 30,000 sq-ft
Disaster Recovery Print Room
Liverpool, NY
Client: NYS Office of General Services
RAN Fire Protection Engineering was retained to provide fire protection engineering services for the renovation of the District Offices of the New York State Insurance Fund. The scope of the project was to provide a new Alternate Disaster Recovery Print Room. RAN provided the design for the conversion from a wet-sprinkler system to a double-interlock pre-action sprinkler system for the new print room, the design included the layout of a new clean agent system, and an upgrade of the existing fire alarm system. The clean agent system provided fire protection without the risk of water-based damage to sensitive equipment within the print room.
Construction Cost: $42,000 Size: 8,400 sq-ft
