Overview

Specialist fire-rated partition installation for an existing data center in Thane. The project required compartmentalization of a large server hall into four fire-rated zones using 2-hour rated drywall systems. Each zone needed independent HVAC and fire suppression integration points, with all penetrations sealed to maintain the fire rating. Acoustic performance was also specified to reduce cross-zone noise from cooling systems.

Challenge

Retrofit fire-rating into an operational data center with live servers in adjacent zones.

Solution

Weekend-heavy schedule with temporary fire barriers, dust containment and noise-limited work hours.

Result

All four zones achieved 2-hour fire rating certification, acoustic targets met.

Trades used

Drywall, fire-stopping, coordination.
