Building Resilient & Efficient Infrastructure

From initial concept to detailed blueprints, Mission Critical Engineers (MCE), a Toronto-based engineering team specializes in creating robust, energy-efficient, and future-proof data centres and mission critical facilities. We leverage global best practices and deep local expertise to deliver innovative designs tailored to your unique requirements, ensuring maximum uptime and operational excellence for your critical infrastructure across Canada.

Data Centre Design Philosophy

Our data centre design focuses on creating highly performant, scalable, and efficient electrical and mechanical infrastructures. Services cater to both new greenfield data centre projects and complex retrofits of existing facilities, ensuring optimal performance, reliability, and sustainability.

Core Principles of Data Centre Design

Robust designs are implemented for power and cooling systems to maximize uptime and meet specific operational availability requirements.

Designs are modular, adapting to future IT load growth, density increases, and technological advancements without significant disruption or over-provisioning.

Energy-efficient technologies and strategies are incorporated, such as free cooling, liquid cooling solutions (direct-to-chip, immersion), efficient UPS systems, and intelligent airflow management. Designs aim to achieve optimal Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and support green data centre initiatives.

Design decisions balance initial capital expenditure (CapEx) with long-term operational expenditure (OpEx), considering total cost of ownership (TCO).

Comprehensive Data Centre Design Services

Comprehensive design from conceptualization to detailed engineering, including site selection analysis, capacity planning, architectural integration, and specification of all critical Mechanical & Electrical (M&E) systems.

Specialized expertise is applied in assessing existing facilities for modernization, capacity expansion, efficiency improvements, and enhanced reliability. Retrofit designs minimize disruption to ongoing operations. This includes updating existing systems to newer technology or redesigning for higher density computing, crucial for AI applications and high-performance computing (HPC).

Owner's Representation in Data Centre Design

MCE provides expert owner’s representation, ensuring design aligns with strategic objectives, budget, and operational requirements from inception to completion. This includes rigorous design reviews against intended topology, functionality, and capacity.
