The Project

Taking down an eleven-megawatt plant

This was a full-scale plant removal: a 30,000 square foot data center in Nanuet, New York, backed by eight generators totaling over 11 megawatts, a 50,000 gallon diesel fuel tank, paralleling switchgear, and forty 30-ton Liebert CRAC units. Powerhouse Systems took the entire facility down, inside and out, from the numbered rows of cooling units on the data floor to the rooftop equipment and the outdoor gear. Our own crew handled the disconnect, rigging, and removal across the whole site, keeping a complex multi-system teardown under one point of contact.

Equipment Recovered

What we removed

  • (4) 1,000 kW generators
  • (1) 2,000 kW generator
  • (3) 1,750 kW generators
  • 50,000 gallon diesel fuel tank
  • (40) 30-ton Liebert CRAC units

Recovered equipment is refurbished and resold, which is what lets us pay for the gear we remove instead of charging to haul it away.
