How was the Phoenix data center painted without downtime?
Quick Answer: Moorhouse Coating expanded a Phoenix data center across 250,000 square feet while maintaining zero operational downtime. The project used cleanroom protocols, anti-static coatings, controlled access, low-dust preparation, and phased work zones coordinated around mission-critical cloud operations, completing the expansion on a six-week schedule for rapid deployment.
Phoenix Data Center Expansion
250,000 sq ft facility painted with zero operational downtime
Get Similar QuoteProject Overview
A major cloud service provider needed to expand their Phoenix data center operations with a new 250,000 square foot facility. The project required specialized coatings that could meet strict cleanroom standards while maintaining the facility's 99.99% uptime commitment.
The project presented unique challenges: zero operational downtime during painting, cleanroom protocol compliance throughout facility, anti-static coatings for server environments, and a compressed 6-week timeline for rapid deployment. Similar to our semiconductor facility project, maintaining continuous operations was critical.
