We Have Constructed Data Center Projects for Leading Companies That Add Value to Life
İnşaat Dünyası / December 2022

As Serban, we have mastered data center specialization by realizing many projects in the industrial construction sector for many years, and we have signed data center projects that add value to the lives of leading companies. We realize qualified, efficient, and sustainable facilities with our understanding of providing end-to-end solutions.

How did data centers enter our lives and which features of Serban stand out in their construction?
The Internet is used in every subject that is part of our lives today, such as finance, education, media, public administration, security, communication, transportation, and shopping, and it is of great importance to store, process and store billions of data obtained from digital sources. The fact that this data can be accessed at any time closely concerns the national security of countries. The faultless and uninterrupted operation of data centers, which host a large number of servers and network hardware devices where this data is located, is of critical importance. Serban realizes new generation data centers by undertaking all stages of the project from infrastructure to building construction process thanks to its expertise in observing these sensitive dynamics of data centers.

There are thousands of data centers in the world, and most of them are located in Western countries. Since countries want to store the data of their citizens in their own countries, many projects will be implemented in our near geography in the short term, which, in turn, the security of the data will be ensured.

The location of data centers is related to many strategic parameters such as security, energy consumption and data transfer. Our engineering power enables us to offer the most appropriate and optimum solutions to customers even if we work in very different geographical locations. We also pay great attention to energy efficiency in the projects we realize, making environmentally friendly choices and ensuring that the operating expenses remain at a minimum degree.

The construction process of data center projects requires great care. After the completion of the project, there should be no water leakage for 20 years, it should be able to survive disasters such as earthquakes and the existing systems should work flawlessly under all conditions. To ensure this sustainability, the complete control of every production in terms of QA/QC is of great importance. For construction processes to proceed without errors, all electromechanical and architectural systems must be modelled at the LOD 400 level. The exact correspondence between the model and the applications in the field is critical for the changes to be made later. At Serban, we work with a detail-oriented approach for the smooth progress of the entire process from the project phase to the manufacturing phase. Thus, we ensure that the construction is completed within the specified processes and that there are no problems during the operation phase.

As I mentioned, data centers consist of many systems that need to work without interruption, and even a momentary interruption can mean millions of dollars in losses. At this point, we have expert staff working 24/7 to maintain the continuity of the construction of data centers, and we keep it under control at any time, wherever it is in Turkey. We can say that we have teams ready to reach that region instantly within the scope of the warranty, and all maintenance processes are one of the features that make Serban stand out. We have specialized in data centers by carrying out many projects in the Industrial Construction sector for many years, and we have signed many important data centers of leading companies that add value to life. We realize qualified, efficient and sustainable facilities with our understanding of providing end-to-end solutions. In everything we do, we provide solutions to today and value for tomorrow and use the most advanced technologies with our expert team.

Data centers are a vital part of new-generation industrial structures. Which criteria does Serban, which specializes in the construction of data centers, take into consideration in the process of starting the project?
Data centers contain many unique elements from the decision to build is made. Serban provides a smooth process by proactively serving the investor in every aspect, from design to operation according to the project requirements.

Data centers are structures whose electromechanical design can change completely depending on the location. Due to these changes, the equipment to be used in the building must be designed specifically for that project. At this point, we work with production-oriented companies such as cooling and automation within Açık Holding and offer holistic solutions for data centers. For example; with our Boreas Technology company, we design cooling devices specifically for data centers and meet the needs of the project.

What do you attribute to the rapid rise of data centers, and what will data centers look like in the future?
If we want to direct for tomorrow, it depends on our ability to retain today's data. The more successful we are in storing and processing the data we generate, the more successful we can be in the future. In this context, the number and importance of data centers will increase gradually.

Technology is a major force changing lives and sectors. It has become even more important, especially after the pandemic. For any sector to grow and develop healthily, it needs to be able to protect its data, and the data usage and storage needs of each industry differ. Since this situation can affect the design of data centers, Serban has the expertise to produce different solutions for all kinds of needs in the sector.

It is vital to specialize in data centers, which enter our lives as a natural result of all developing and developing technologies, to be able to take quick action and to produce solutions for every need of the structure. At Serban, we build and put into service structures that add value to our country. We help to manage the sector with data center projects and develop turnkey solutions to the changing needs of the age via our professional understanding. While offering innovative data center solutions to companies operating in various fields such as production, telecommunications, health, financial services, accommodation, travel and marketing, we also complete an important part of the digital transformation.
