Case Study: Retrofitting Live Data Centres for AI Density While Upgrading Cooling, Power, & Operational Resilience

• Transitioning from air-to-water cooling architectures to support AI workloads above 20kW/rack while maintaining uptime during phased live-site migration
• Upgrading floor PDUs from 208V to 415V to reduce cable losses, improve OEM server compatibility, and increase rack power capacity in operational environments
• Coordinating secondary cooling redundancy, buffer tank integration, and operational readiness planning to reduce thermal, leak, and changeover risk before IT migration begins
