EXECUTIVE SUMMARY, TIMELINE AND SPEC HIGHLIGHTS
E X E C U T IVE SUMMA RY
Pulse Data Centre (Pulse DC) is
the first of its kind offering highly
resilient, Tier 3 Uptime designed large
scale data centre capacity outside of
major capital cities.
Designed as a primary site to support
corporate and enterprise customers; local, state
and federal government and international
technology giants. Easily accessed from
Brisbane by road and air, with freight and
passenger services available via the Brisbane
West international airport..
Located approximately 120 km from Brisbane
CBD, 700 km from Sydney CBD and 900 km
from Canberra CBD, this site is unique as it
offers true business continuity protection due
to its diversity from major capital cities and an
elevation of 507 metres above sea level.
With diverse fibre feed paths from multiple
carriers this site is not reliant on any major
city for continuous connectivity, providing a
very high level of connectivity resilience. This
site is also an ideal carrier point of presence
and distribution point for servicing western
Queensland.
Construction of the Pulse DC is due to
commence in July 2016 with completion,
testing and commissioning finalised early 2017.
The Pulse DC will comprise of three separate
data buildings, each independent of the other
for mechanical and electrical.
Early adopters have the opportunity to
customise and design their data building to suit
their business needs, with multiple tier levels
and tailored security requirements, up to ASIO
T4 if required.
All components of the Pulse DC design are
optimised for the local climatic conditions
which are ideal to utilise free cooling capability
providing excellent operating efficiency and
PUE.
With high power capacity and a large
available footprint this site is ideal for any size
business, including global technology giants,
guaranteeing exceptional delivery of a first class
data centre at a very competitive cost.

Toowoomba Technology Park (TTP) is ideally
located within Witmack Industry Park. TTP is
securely surrounded by a substantial physical
access barrier, with one primary access point
and a second access point available in an
emergency situation .
TTP has direct access to the second range
crossing with interchanges to the north and
south and is only 5kms from the Brisbane West
International Airport for ease of travel for staff
and distribution of freight.

Toowoomba is Australia’s second largest
inland city and one of the strongest and
fastest growing economic regions in Australia.
Strategically located west of the Great Dividing
Range, Toowoomba is the conduit for the state’s
inland road train network and the gateway to
the resource rich Surat and Bowen Basins.
Toowoomba, known as the Garden City, is
renowned for its picturesque qualities and
enviable lifestyle and as Australia’s second
largest inland city is also a dynamic and
growing business hub boasting substantial
community infrastructure, exceptional access to
an established, affordable and skilled workforce
with world class education institutions and a
proactive local council.

RISK ASSESSMENT

R I S K ASSESSMENT
In February 2016 a detailed independent risk assessment of the TTP was undertaken by Risk Frontiers.
Risk Frontiers is a leading independent research centre sponsored by the insurance industry to aid
better understanding and pricing of natural hazard risks in the Asia-Pacific region. The risk assessment
carried out by Risk Frontiers on the TTP site considered the following perils:

Earthquakes Wind Hail Riverline Flooding

Flash Flooding Dust Storms Bushfire Vehicular Impact

Aircraft Impact Incidents at

neighbouring buildings

Risk Frontier’s Risk Management Report stated that there are no major risks
identified and confirmed that the TTP is an ideal location for a risk mitigation or
Business Continuity function. Below is an excerpt from the Risk Management Report:

“Assessing individual hazard risk, for earthquake, wind and hail, building performance is expected to be
adequate considering the SEAOC performance criteria. For riverine flooding, analysis of hydraulic flood maps of
the 2D Flood Study for Dry Creek (Charlton and Torrington) produced by the WRM for the Toowoomba Regional
Council show the Pulse facility to be well outside and above the modelled 1 in 100 annual return interval (ARI)
extent, the modelled PMF event and outside our inferred PMF extent. This implies that the riverine flood risk is
negligible and fulfils the building performance criteria. The likelihood of bushfires in the general area around
the Pulse facility is expected to be occasional or rare. However, the building’s distance from dense forest and the
ability of fire fighting in the area suggests the risk of impact on the Pulse facility is less than these estimates.”

Pulse DC consists of three stand alone data centres linked by a central security facility. Each data
centre contains two separate data halls spanning 840m2 and will house approximately 324 racks.
Each hall is designed to support, as a base, 1MW of IT load. The design allows for various density racks
and has the ability to support larger loads as required.

The benefits of this flexible modular design, include:
all systems are designed to cater for both low and
high density (up to 30kW per rack) through the
use of a 600mm raised floor and isolation of the
hot air return to the CRAH (computer room air
handlers).
private suites are available with areas starting
from 90m2
high ceilings - 4.5 metre floor to ceiling
floor loading capacity of 1500 kg/m2
average temperature of 23 degrees C +/- 1 deg
(customised temperature ranges to full ASHRAE
spectrum available in private suites).
average relative humidity of 50% +/- 5%
overhead telecommunications and connectivity

each data hall has multiple access points for
increased safety and to minimise traffic within
the technical area. A central plant area separates
the two data halls and ensures direct access to
equipment
a large enclosed and secure loading dock ensures
protection for unloading Heavy Rigid Vehicles of
up to 9m metres in length and 3.6 metres high
adjoining the loading dock are secure temporary
storage and commissioning spaces
large double doors in each commissioned space
lead to wide service corridors and provide direct
access to the technical area

Our electrical attributes are second to none and include:

highly resilient A + B + C feeds from transformer a bank of parallel generators in an N+1

to rack with 100% uptime SLA configuration deliver back-up power to an
automated transfer switch protecting against
supply delivered by a 33kV HV loop which is fed both supply and transformer failures
from separate 110kV to 33kV substations
power reticulation to the technical area is by
each data centre feed has an independent overhead bus duct with individual rack tap
33kV to 415v transformer feeding through offs to provide a variety of supply, control and
independent static UPS to provide A + B + C to metering options feeding in rack PDUs
each rack
three phase and single phase power is available
each UPS and battery bank is contained in its at each rack
own separate fire rated room

Use of overhead bus duct allows instant customised “live” rack power deployments with no disturbance to
the existing services or equipment. All power reticulation is overhead and colour coded allowing
quick visual confirmation of connection and configuration.

MECHANICAL AND FIRE DETECTION AND SUPPRESSION
MECHANICAL

Highly efficient and robust cooling design to maximise the free cooling benefits of the climate without
compromising integrity. These cooling designs include the following features:

each data hall features a dedicated chilled water
loop external to the building
N+1 chillers with free cooling capability for 80%
of the year
integration between multiple chiller loops
provide for greater efficiency and N+2 chillers at
full load
chilled water loop and all valves are external to
the technical area so any maintenance is external
and minimises risk to the technical space
N+1 CRAH supply the technical space from
a dedicated service corridor so all cooling
maintenance can be conducted without entering
the technical space
entire facility, including all mechanical functions,
are supported by standby power generation.

FIRE DETECTION AND SUPPRESSION

Using world class fire detection and suppression monitoring

systems, that include:

VESDA type smoke detection system in all technical areas

compartmentalised gaseous fire suppression system

throughout the facility

central fire alarm control integrated in BMS and monitored

by an internal notification system and an external service
provider, with direct access to the local fire services

local fire department briefed on facility specific protocols to

minimise event occurrence and impact. Ongoing training
and procedure development ensures the most efficient and
accurate response to emergency situations.
