Project Overview

• $3.7 Billion Program Value
• 570 MW Campus Electrical System Capacity
• Liquid Cooled Racks + Hot-Aisle/Cold-Aisle Containment
• 2,280 Rack Test Positions
• Campus-scale program, manufacturing, assembly, and test lines

Project Overview

This multiple-phase campus-scale project spans four buildings of manufacturing and assembly space with 40 assembly/test lines of 48–60 positions each, totaling 2,280 test positions. Manufacturing scope mirrors Summit’s earlier expansion program — rack-level manufacturing and assembly integrated with burn-in test in each building — with every test position engineered for 250 kW testing.

Of the 40 lines, 32 (80%) are liquid-cooled on TCL/CDU loops and 8 are air-cooled under hot-aisle containment. Utility capacity, central-plant chiller and cooling-tower groups, and TCL distribution are being planned to phase with the customer’s product ramp, representing 570 MVA of connected campus load — the largest utility capacity in Summit’s rack-test portfolio to date.

Customer identity, site designation and product line are confidential and have been omitted in accordance with the terms of Summit’s engagement.

Complex Design Requirements

• Uniform 250 kW-per-position design load across all 2,280 test positions — the highest sustained rack density Summit has engineered at this scale
• Four-building central-plant architecture with chiller and cooling-tower groups phased to match the customer’s product ramp rather than built out all at once
• 80/20 liquid-to-air cooling split (32 liquid-cooled lines on TCL/CDU loops, 8 air-cooled lines under hot-aisle containment) engineered as a standardized, repeatable design across all four buildings
• 570 MVA utility and distribution architecture designed for phased, building-by-building campus energization

Summit Delivery — Responsiveness That Drives Customer Success

As the largest program in Summit’s rack-test portfolio, this campus depends on Summit’s team applying the lead-time identification, procurement sequencing and construction-phasing discipline developed on earlier programs at an even larger scale — developing Long Lead Equipment lists with multiple sourcing options so the customer can sequence procurement against an aggressive, phased schedule.

Summit’s proactive, responsive approach to risk identification across multiple concurrent buildings is central to keeping a program of this size and complexity on track, and is what will allow this customer to bring 570 MVA of capacity online in step with its product ramp.
