data processing space planning
1.
Gerald Roy Spencer, P.E. is an expert at space planning and final design for data
processing facilities. Spencer Engineers, Inc. (SEI) has vast
experience in the design of computer facilities. Gerald Roy Spencer,
P.E. has extensive
experience with the installation of all types of computers including the
CRAY, IBM, and Amdahl super computers. He has experience as the
Engineer of Record (EOR) for the design and construction of 400 Hz
power generation and distribution as required for super computers and Space
Flight Simulation / Training for Spacecraft (similar to aircraft). He
has experience with trouble shooting existing computer installations for
sources of trouble causing transients. He has designed many
Un-interruptible Power Systems.
Gerald Roy Spencer, P.E. has accomplished many
Southwestern Bell Telephone Company projects, which are one in actuality a
large built-up computer and Un-interruptible Power Systems. Gerald Roy
Spencer, P.E. is the EOR for the construction of more than 40 raised floor data processing
projects during the last 30 years, including seven projects totaling more
than 75,000 sf of raised floor data processing equipment space in the last
10 years. The raised floor details generated by Gerald Roy Spencer,
P.E. are now the site
standards for raised computer floor construction at NASA-JSC. Most
manufacturers installation details work, but there are sometimes better ways
to install the raised floors. Handrail details to comply with building
codes are sometimes a structural problem. Gerald R. Spencer, P.E. has
performed space planning for many different data processing facilities.
These have also included the 20,000 SF Cray V Super Computer Systems, the
Amdahl Super Computer Systems, and the IBM equipment that supports the
systems for the EXXON Central Computer processing facility.
1.1
Design Process: Informal design/review meetings (undocumented) with our design team
members and the end users are of great value, especially in the initial
stages of the design process. We intentionally do not document these
meetings in order to encourage free and open expression of ideas,
preferences and opinions. This helps to allow group consideration of all
possible design solutions. One person's bad idea might stimulate another
persons good idea. The person with the bad idea might not mention the bad
idea if he or she believes that it might be recorded, and come back to haunt
him or her. We can deploy a design team consisting of design professionals
in each of the required design disciplines required to the site. The
planning and programming for the conceptual design normally
requires that the design team be on-site to document the requirements of
each function and relations to other functions in detail. This will require
interviewing the managers of each separate operation to determine current
and future needs. This data resulting from end user interviews will also
include end user equipment utility connection requirements in tabular form
for each function and/or each space. This document will be considered a
working document (usually a three ring binder) that will be currently be up-dated as
the requirements for data processing, transmitters, antennae, and other data
is up-dated until finalized. The designers will familiarize
themselves with operations and the facility requirements of the facility
users. This document can be reproduced at each formal submittal and at
additional milestones as required for use by designers and/or end users.
This approved criteria will be used to formulate and design the building
configuration. This is usually referred to as a Charette process. The design team will submit
formal and informal floor plans for discussion, comments, and/or approval by
the used group while on site for the Charette process. Hopefully the floor
plan can be approved by the used personnel before the Charette design team
leaves the site. If the Charette plans are not approved prior to leaving
the site, at least the planning problems will be documented and the Charette
Plans will then be used as reference (during telephone conversations) tool
for later design decisions. The Charette designers will work closely with
the facility end users to create a facility design that enables the facility
users to accomplish their mission. Engineering system space requirements
(HVAC, Plumbing, Fire Protection, Electrical, Structural, Security, etc.)
will be determined at the Charette design and planning stage. This might
entail familiarization with new and existing utility requirements to the
point that we agree or have comments. This will also have on-site start of
the engineering systems design in preliminary sketch fashions. Gerald
Roy Spencer, P.E. will
also conduct informal design meetings with the end users and facility
operations and maintenance personnel during the Charette process.

ENVIRONMENTAL
CONSIDERATIONS FOR ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT:
Gerald Roy Spencer, P.E. is the EOR for the construction of more than 40 raised floor
data processing projects during the last 20 years, including seven projects
totaling more than 75,000 SF of raised floor data processing equipment space
in the last 5 years. The raised floor details generated by Spencer
Engineers, Inc. (SEI) are now the
site standards for raised computer floor construction at NASA-JSC. Most
manufacturers installation details work, but there are sometimes better ways
to install the raised floors. Handrail details to comply with codes are
sometimes a structural problem. Projects include the Building 16 addition
for celestial navigation training at NASA-JSC and the Shuttle Flight
Simulator in building 16 at NASA-JSC. Gerald Roy Spencer, P.E. is also the AE of record for more
than 10 telephone office projects that have the same environmental
considerations. Gerald Roy Spencer, P.E. has designed HVAC systems that control the relative
humidity to within the limits specified for the equipment. The SW Bell
telephone company leased computers from an un-named company with maintenance
included in the lease charges. This computer company placed
temperature/humidity recorders in the space, and then billed SW Bell for the
maintenance when the humidity was not maintained within the specified
limits. Gerald Roy Spencer, P.E. was retained to modify the HVAC system to maintain specified RH.
Gerald Roy Spencer, P.E. is the EOR for many separate data processing room HVAC
systems. Gerald Roy Spencer, P.E. is the EOR for many electrical systems that
support the data processing operations. Gerald Roy Spencer, P.E. has been employed by NASA and
Warner Cable to solve complicated ground problems. Gerald Roy Spencer,
P.E. has designed many
built-up UPS systems for NASA and for the Telephone Company. Gerald
Roy Spencer, P.E. is the AE
of record for many power conditioning projects for NASA and EXXON.
Gerald Roy Spencer, P.E. has
been employed by NASA and EXXON to document and solve harmonic circulating
current problems and transient surge problems with existing computer
installations. Gerald Roy Spencer, P.E. has designed modifications to all of the older
data processing areas at NASA-JSC that will provide Emergency Power Off
systems and other modifications in order to comply with current codes. SEI
Architects and Engineers have many years experience modifying the Mission
Control Center (MCC) Houston, and this expertise is available for this
project.

DATA PROCESSING FACILITY
FACILITIES
DESIGN EXPERIENCE:
THE FOLLOWING
IS A PARTIAL LIST OF DATA PROCESSING FACILITIES THAT WE WERE THE AE OF RECORD:
3.1.
U. S. AIR FORCE INTEGRATED INTELLEGENCE FACILITY - 2002 - LACKLAND AFB,
TEXAS - 10,000 SF teaching/training facility plus 1500 SF Secure (SCIF)
Data Processing Facility - Project No. MPYJ-03-3275 - Mr.Fred Mengdon
- 210-671-1541 - Mr. Gerald R. Spencer, P.E., facilitated the charrette
design conference to evaluate and re-affirm the design criteria, to create a
concept plan, and to get approval of the concept plan from all of the
concerned parties. Gerald Spencer, P.E., was the project director and also
the mechanical and electrical designer for the mechanical and electrical
infrastructure systems. Mr. Carl Talbot, AIA, Mr. Jim Dunaway, AIA and Mr.
William A. Davis, RA, P.E. prepared the architectural contract drawings. Mr.
W. Paul Jones, AIA was the specifications writer and hardware specialist for
the architectural building items. Mr. John L. Elam performed the Civil
Design and the Structural Design.
The proposed facility will consist of a 8,000 sf building housing two highly
technical areas and support areas. There will be an office - laboratory area
with raised computer floor for data transmission media wiring and power
connections. There will be an air conditioned high bay storage warehouse
with positive temperature and humidity control to store temperature and
humidity sensitive data processing hardware and equipment.
SEI designed a pre-engineered insulated metal building with walls
insulated to comply with the SCIF construction requirements for sound
attenuation. This project was within a secure fenced area so that physical
protection was provides by a security fence that enclosed this new site.
This facility was constructed in an un-secure area and the security fence
was relocated after construction to enclose this facility into the secure
area.
The foundation design was a fully supported structure above grade, and the
floor between grade beams was slab-on-grade placed on top of 4 feet of
select fill. Foundation piers were 45 feet deep. This project had raised
computer flooring in the communications areas, secure grounding, separate
secure power, separate un-secure power, electronic equipment repair/assembly
laboratory, high bay equipment storage, restrooms, break room, and exterior
security lighting.
This project has masonry front walls and some windows that meet SCIF
attenuation requirements. The metal wall panels with the 6" thick fiberglass
insulation meet the SCIF requirements.
The facility is fully air conditioned. LCCA indicated that electric heating
was justified since the building was so well insulated, and the ventilation
requirement was so low. The HVAC systems will consist of separate DX, split
air conditioning heat pump systems and electrical resistance re-heat heating
systems for positive humidity control. A separate system will supply each
controlled-conditioned zone with separate heating, humidity control, and
cooling as required to maintain room temperature. The majority of the HVAC
requirement is internal load (people, computer, lighting). The building
envelope is well insulated to a "U" value of 0.030 average. The building
will have a pre-treated outside air system that will provide absolute
control of the maximum relative humidity in the building except when the
exterior doors are open for extended lengths of time. The AE recommends that
the USAF minimize the time when exterior doors are open. The OSA delivery
fan will be controlled by a C02 sensor in the common RA plenum on the
equipment mezzanine. This will only introduce OSA to the building when the
personnel need additional OSA for Indoor Air Quality Control, and/or for
building pressurization when needed.
There will not be any handicapped personnel at this facility, but the
restrooms will be designed in accordance with the ADA handicapped
accessibility requirements for possible future needs. It will be less
expensive now to construct the restrooms for the handicapped now as compared
to modifying (tearing down and re-constructing) the restrooms at a later
date. Handicapped visitors are sometimes guests or awardees at change of
command and/or award ceremonies.
System will comply with the NFPA 13 in accordance with the requirements of
NFPA 13-1996 for an Extra Hazard Group 1 occupancy.
