Data Center Temporary Power

Owner:  T-Mobile

Engineer:  exp

 

Upgrades to data center power systems often require multiple connections for temporary power because a data center must stay in service during the upgrade.  Each time a new connection is planned the design and construction team performs a detailed risk analysis.  Leverage was selected to assist the team because our core software provides an effective means for showing the nature of each construction change in a precise graphic display.  So, our core software is an effective platform for this work.

This project is an interesting demonstration of sophisticated modeling software.  On one hand, the project's scope is not about building components.  On the other hand, the tool we developed for building components is applicable to many other processes that require connecting a data set to objects shown as graphical elements.  It is evidence of the power of concise representation of elements for use in planning.

 

Major contributions:

  • Streamline risk analysis.
  • Provide value analysis for power riser change-over.

 

Detailed benefits:

  • Expected cost adjustment of +/- $200,000.
  • Save project framework for application at future sites.

Helios

Developer:  Pacific Group

Architect:  Gensler

 

Helios, a 135 acre health and wellness campus, lies in a Job Creation Zone in North Las Vegas.  It will serve the region's growing demand for health services and will form a new community center sporting a rich mix of commercial uses.

This project presents a comprehensive approach to a premier healthcare research and business campus that integrates compelling land uses, phased density, and a sense of identity in close relationship to open space.

The initial development phase includes over 2.5 M square feet of medical center, medical office, and medical and research laboratory space.  It also includes over 0.5 M square feet of retail and hospitality space.  The site will support twice that density as demend drives future develepoment in a decade or two.

Major contributions to Helios:

  • Expidite building delivery for the first phase of MOBs.
  • Create site specific prototypes for MOBs and labratory buildings.
  • Integrate detailed modeling for core and shell with a designer's approach to repetitive interior spaces, capturing value from modular design thinking.
  • Explore building solutions that support upward expansion.
  • Establish materials supply lines for ongoing development at this site.

 

Detailed benefits:

  • Increased reliability and predictability for building delivery will directly support development planning.
  • Save up to $20 M in construction cost for MOBs and labs.
  • Provide up to $15 M in lease value by accelerating beneficial occupancy.
  • Support densification of development when needed.

Main and Cordova (MAC)

Developer:  Tomo Spaces

Architect:  MA+HG Architects

Engineer:  Timber Engineering

 

This 11-story Living Heritage project includes social housing units, offices, urban garden space, a children's play area, and a 1700 square foot nonprofit owned and operated community theater space to replace the original theater that will be razed to make way for this project.

Major contributions to MAC:

  • Eliminate 2 months from a traditional construction schedule.
  • Ability to store virtual project data for replication at future sites.

 

Detailed benefits:

  • Expected cost saving of 5% on CLT floor system as compared with a traditional best bid approach.
  • Expected cost saving of 25% for the CRS walls modeled with Fulcrum and fabricated off-site.

Deep Geothermal Well

Client:  Mass Flow Energy

 

Geothermal eneergy sysetms come in many types. For example, a ground source heat-pump system depends on a stable temperature used as a heat sink — typically between 5 adn 200 feet deep.  A source of significn heat is found insome geographic location at depths of 500 feet to a mile.  Critical flow, high-pressure steam can be generated at dppths of three to six miles.  Mass Flow Energy is defining how to create a working well in this deepest categoty.

For Leverage, this project is a demonstration of acccunterizied-driven modeling to produce a digital twin for materils strength modeing, fluid and energy flow modeling (using a super computer) and manuafcturing instructions.

Major contributions to MAC:

  • provide assessment models to super-completer labs.
  • Eliminate 2 years from a traditional development cycle.
  • Create an autometed pipe-wall design system.

 

Detailed benefits:

  • Expected cost saving of 5% to 10% on every well.
  • Rapid dyployment for each new location.
  • Streamlining of factory planning.
  • Tracking first well casing materials forpossible reuse.
