Confidential Server Manufacturing Facility #1

Swanson Rink led the A/E design services for the fit-up of approximately 252,000 square feet of warehouse, manufacturing, and office space inside of an existing shell and core building. Swanson Rink collaborated with the client to develop a basis of design (BOD), provided mechanical and electrical engineering as well as served as the Prime Consultant overseeing the preparation of architectural, structural and civil engineering construction documents. A second phase of the project required an increase of power supply for the next generation servers.

DEN Concourse A West/B West Deicing

This project consisted of designing a new Deicing storage and distribution system for both Type I and Type IV fluids for concourses A and B and Denver International Airport. Swanson Rink worked closely with the airport and the airlines operating the deicing systems to meet their needs in these complex systems. The requirements for this system included providing the maximum amount of fluid storage possible in the allocated space and filling the spray trucks as quickly as possible.

Confidential Server Manufacturing Facility #2

Swanson Rink led the design for 250,000 square feet of warehouse, manufacturing, and office operations. The project was implemented in an existing facility which required an extensive review of the existing conditions to determine which systems could be reused or expanded and which areas would need new services. Swanson Rink has worked with the Client project team to develop a Design Criteria document and project floor plan layouts.

Harry Reid Las Vegas International Airport Terminal 1 Modernization & Terminal 3 Re-Control

Comprehensive study and design services to modernize Terminals 1 and 2, including outbound baggage handling system upgrades. Scope included BHS engineering including check-in, bag screening, outbound bag makeup, and potentially inbound bag subsystems, as well as existing conditions investigation and evaluation, preliminary modeling and quantitative requirements, ROW metrics for an alternatives analysis, and development of 15% design documents for a preferred alternative concept.

Denver International Airport Great Hall

MEP, low-voltage, and fire protection design for the multi-phased, $1.3B modernization of the Great Hall at DEN. The program enhances capacity, safety, and the overall passenger experience with new check-in and ticketing areas, upgraded level-6 security checkpoints, a revitalized central terminal and Concourse A walkway, expanded post-security concessions, and improved curbside operations.

Denver International Airport Concourse B West Expansion

Mechanical and plumbing engineering for a 90,000-sf expansion featuring four new domestic gates, three levels (apron, concourse, and partial basement), and four holdrooms. The project also included 45,000 square yards of apron paving with deicing system design.

Los Angeles International Airport MSC South

Design of the baggage handling system, passenger boarding bridges, fueling systems, and ramp operations for an 8-gate, 150,000-sf new terminal. Scope included a new outbound baggage room, ADG-III capable boarding bridges, PCA and GPU services, potable water systems, and comprehensive ramp planning for aircraft and ground support equipment. The concourse was designed using off-site construction and to accommodate future adaptability.

Hyperscale

Swanson Rink has been supporting hyperscale developments for almost a decade and we’ve seen the projects grow from single building sites to the mega campuses of today. With projects drawing over 500 megawatts of critical load, we understand the complexities and appreciate the uniqueness of every project. Active in almost all development areas, we’ve provided engineering design in Virginia, Ohio, Oregon, Mississippi, Georgia, Arizona, and Texas. From Master planning to Permitting, we provide MEP, Fire Protection / Fire Alarm, Controls, Telecom, and Security design. Additionally, we provide CFD modeling to analyze external dispersion of exhaust fumes along with environmental conditions to optimize site layout.

Colocation

Swanson Rink provides ongoing engineering support for several clients in the colocation space. From Due Diligence and Test Fits to Master planning and Design, we work alongside our clients to ensure that we meet all project requirements. With the constant advancements in technology, and the increasing demand of the industry, we pride ourselves in our ability to continually provide leading edge designs to increase capacity and optimize PUE, whether traditionally air-cooled or liquid-cooled for AI workloads. Our engineers are experienced in designing for all levels of redundancy and are well versed in industry standards such as Uptime Institute and TIA. We provide MEP, Fire Protection / Fire Alarm, Controls, Telecom, Security, and Lighting design for colocation facilities.

SCIF

Swanson Rink provides engineering design for SCIF spaces for the mission critical industry including data center, aerospace, and government facilities. We understand the nuances of these highly secure facilities and stay up to date with all requirements and updates. SCIF requirements ensure that all possible avenues for radio frequency (RF) signals are blocked with increased physical security. This results in changes to the design to include additional electrical equipment and unique methods of feeding equipment. Telecom cabling and pathways are installed in hardened and shielded pathways. Multiple redundancies must be considered and designed.

Retrofits and Expansions

Swanson Rink has extensive experience providing engineering expertise to clients looking to retrofit and remodel legacy data centers. With the ever-changing landscape of digital infrastructure and the continued increase in chip density, data center owners are consistently tasked with upgrading their facilities to match current industry standards. Our clients look to us to assess the facility and determine the optimal strategy to increase performance. Through our sensor deployment technology paired with advanced CFD analysis, we can get an in-depth view of your data center to determine the necessary changes and upgrades. Our experience includes increased capacity, added redundancy, conversion to liquid-cooling, hotspots and airflow issues, and improving PUE.
