E*Trade Technical Operations Center
Alpharetta, Georgia First Citizens Bank
Raleigh, North Carolina State Farm Insurance Service Centers
Alpharetta, Georgia and Irving, Texas Wachovia Silas Center
Winston-Salem, North Carolina
Owner: E*Trade Group / General Contractor: Holder Construction Company - Atlanta, Georgia / Contract Amount: $11,693,470
The E*Trade project, two data centers under one structure, required redundant equipment and mechanical systems. A 1,100,000 gallon chilled water storage tank was installed to provide eight hours of cooling at peak demand in case both plants were inoperative. (2N + 1) Beginning construction with an anticipated end date and only schematic drawings available, created a challenge for Ivey Mechanical Company. From project inception, the ongoing design relied on Ivey expertise to provide “on the spot” design solutions. Two full time CAD operators were onsite to assist with mechanical design and coordination and produce as-built drawings. Mechanical systems installed were 2400 tons of AC; 114,000 pounds of sheet metal; 21,500 feet of HVAC piping; and 13,230 feet of plumbing pipe.

Owner: State Farm Insurance / General Contractor: Holder Construction Company - Atlanta, Georgia / Contract Amounts: Alpharetta - $13 Million Irving - $14 Million
Award of Excellence in Construction - National Associated Builders and Contractors - Alpharetta, GA
Ivey Mechanical Company constructed two new facilities to consolidate the support functions of the central and eastern regions for State Farm. Both facilities were based on the same design with minor changes to adapt to each location. The design included totally redundant mechanical systems to prevent shutdown due to inclement weather or power failure. Each facility is a single, one-story building covering over 250,000 square feet and includes a 1.1 million gallon water storage tank to supply water to the mechanical systems in case of emergency. Actual construction time for each facility was under seven months. Both State Farm projects were unique challenges.

Project of the Year Award - Contractor Magazine
Wachovia Silas Center, a $65 million technology center, was built to support the growing needs of Wachovia's ever-expanding customer base. Known as the industry benchmark for data centers, Wachovia features full electrical and mechanical system redundancy allowing 24-hour operation. The new two-story data center totals 170,000-square feet, with 105,000-square feet computer room raised access floor, 5,000-square feet office area, and 60,000-square feet mechanical and electrical infrastructure and support space. The fast-track project completed under budget and with no lost-time accidents.
