Standards and Specifications listed in the project documents constitute the basis for the complete
Work to be performed by the Contractor.
The Scope of Work describes the technical contents of the activities required for the project. It
shall be read in conjunction with other Contract Schedules of the Construction Contract and
Construction drawings to obtain a complete understanding of the full requirements of the Contract.
DESCRIPTION
Contractor shall work on the basis of this Construction Scope of Work, Construction Specifications
and Project Drawings as indicated on the Drawing Control Sheet HD-174991. Construction
Scope of Work, Specifications and Drawings are complementary and are not to be used
separately. Any item mentioned in Scope of Work and not shown on drawings or shown on
drawings but not mentioned in Scope of Work shall be of like effects as if shown or mentioned in
both.
In case of any conflict between the contract documents, the Contractor shall inform Saudi Aramco

PMT OPRNS
ASA
situate CRAHs on the CRRF, directly adjacent to sensitive electronic equipment.
SSJ
Having the CRAHs on the CRRF required chilled water piping to crisscross the
entire subfloor. Most data center’s facility managers are concerned about the
ENGG CERT
ALL
high potential for chilled water leaks in the subfloor area inherent with locating
CRAHs on the CRRF. CRAHs have a notorious reputation for leaks in the
ALL
subfloor of the CRRF. Numerous and costly schemes have been implemented
to minimize the likelihood of such occurrences. However, these schemes could
not eliminate the high risk of water leaks in the subfloor of the CRRF during
routine CRAH maintenance. In the past 5-10 years, best practices and lessons
learned have changed this conventional approach to locate the CRAHs in
separate adjacent galleries.
DESCRIPTION
Adjacent CRAH galleries eliminate most of the inherent flaws of locating the
CRAHs directly onto the CRRF. Maintenance of chilled water piping and
associated fittings is restricted to the gallery areas. This eliminates accidental
human factor damage to electrical/electronic equipment located on the CRRF.
Additionally, accidental spillage of chilled water onto the CRRF is avoided.
Maintenance of CRAHs is also restricted to gallery areas, thus again eliminating
accidental human factor damage to electrical /electronic equipment located on
the CRRF.
JO/EWO
0002
At a CRRF computer power density of 200 watts/ft2, the CRAHs will discharge a
considerable amount of noise that is a significant problem for the day-to-day
operation at the CRRF. Locating the CRAHs in separate galleries will enhance

6/27/08
DATE: with 6 inches of closed cell insulation and outer aluminum cladding, and will hold
CONSTRUCTION
AGENCY 670,000 gallons of chilled water. The TST will have two internal diffusers - one

near the top and one near the bottom. The diffusers will reduce the water

During normal operation, the chilled water plant will produce 5-10% extra chilled

DATE:

When one or more chillers fail, the pump or pumps that circulate chilled water
SSJ
through the failed chiller(s) will stop and the flow through the TST will be
reversed. The colder water at the bottom of the tank will flow to the chilled water
ENGG CERT
ALL
supply header and the chilled water return will flow to the top of the TST. The
coldest chilled water at the bottom of the TST will replace the chilled water from
ALL
the failed chiller(s). The top of the TST will temporarily store the hot return
chilled water. In this manner the TST will supply 4,000 ton hours of cooling
during a failed chiller mode or loss of main power or delay of generator power.
This 4,000 ton-ours of cooling provides chilled water to the raised floor CRAHs
for 15 minutes at a heat load of 200 watts/ft2, the same duration as the UPS
battery system.
DESCRIPTION
During all modes of operation, the water level in the TST will be constant. The
boundary of the cold and hot water in the tank will move up and down, but the
