The brief

Chillax Engineering supported FläktGroup with the lifting and positioning of its latest CDU at Horizon 22 in London, ahead of an event bringing together professionals from the data centre industry.

The unit gave attendees an opportunity to see the technology up close, alongside presentations exploring operational resilience and the future of data centre cooling.

Equipment of this scale requires careful handling and accurate positioning. Our role focused on completing the lift and shift, helping bring the equipment into place for its presentation at the venue.

What we did

Our team completed the lift and shift of FläktGroup’s CDU, moving the unit into its required position at Horizon 22.

Handling large engineering equipment demands attention to its dimensions, weight, stability and protection during movement. These considerations are important when positioning equipment within a building, where the surroundings and available space also influence the work.

Precise positioning
The team’s work placed the CDU in position for the event, allowing attendees to appreciate its scale and engineering at close quarters. Accurate positioning is an important part of equipment handling, supporting the requirements of the space and the intended presentation.

Supporting FläktGroup’s technology showcase
Our contribution supported an event focused on developments in data centre cooling. CDUs play a role in liquid cooling systems by managing coolant circulation and heat transfer, helping move heat away from demanding computing equipment.

Members of the Chillax Engineering team subsequently attended the event, seeing the positioned unit first-hand and joining discussions about the sector’s future.

The outcome

The CDU was successfully lifted, shifted and positioned at Horizon 22, supporting FläktGroup’s presentation of its latest cooling technology.

The event created an opportunity for industry professionals to explore the equipment and discuss resilience, efficiency and the changing requirements of data centre infrastructure.

For Chillax Engineering, the project demonstrated our capability in specialist equipment movement and positioning, contributing practical engineering support to a wider industry showcase.
