custom hyperscale cooling solutions

highlights

  • custom valve solutions for critical cooling for hyperscale datacentre
  • over 13,800 copper tubes cut to exact lengths
  • reusable packaging reduces waste and speeds installation

tailored on demand
Across industries, projects are becoming more complex, timelines tighter, and performance expectations higher. At Aalberts, we are used to transforming intricate challenges into seamless solutions and our approach is rooted in mission-critical technologies, precision engineering, collaborative problem-solving, and a commitment to delivering results that meet the highest performance standards.

a hyperscale data centre challenge
That is why when a leading hyperscale data centre approached Aalberts integrated piping systems with a critical requirement: custom valve configurations to support its advanced cooling infrastructure, we accepted the challenge. The project's scope demanded components that went beyond standard offerings, with stringent timelines and specifications.

engineering excellence and rapid turnaround
The engineering team responded by customising 1¼” and 2″ valves to meet the system's precise needs. We supplied over 13,800 Type L copper tubes, each cut to exact lengths, and more than 18,000 tailor-made retainers designed for brazed and soldered joints. Every modification was meticulously reviewed and approved by the client before production, ensuring alignment with their expectations.

Our team demonstrated exceptional speed and collaboration across all areas of the business. Engineering quickly turned the client’s request into functional product samples for review. Simultaneously, our packaging and logistics teams innovated a new system to reduce on-site clutter and protect components during transport. Once the samples were approved, we met the client’s strict delivery timeline, turning a complex, custom project into a reality in record time.

optimising manufacturing and installation
To facilitate efficient assembly, we introduced new tooling that streamlined the brazing process, ensuring consistent quality and speed. Additional design features, such as pipe threads on valve retainers and six-inch tube extensions, were incorporated to reduce on-site labor time and enhance installation efficiency.

sustainable packaging solutions
Recognising the importance of sustainable practices, we developed a reusable wire crate system with custom-fit foam end caps to protect the copper tube ends during transport. This approach not only safeguarded the components but also supported a circular logistics model, reducing waste and minimising the project's environmental footprint.

delivering value through partnership
This project exemplifies Aalberts' commitment to delivering tailored solutions that address the unique challenges of each client. By combining engineering expertise with a flexible, customer-centric approach, we ensure that our solutions not only meet but exceed performance expectations.
