Tight stacking and racking of precision modules reduces equipment footprint and cable length, eliminates exposed interconnections and enhances thermal management
![Page 3: VectorBloc Data Centres July 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58ef7f921a28ab675b8b4593/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Because the VectorBloc system makes it easy to design and build inexpensive, stackable, rackable modules of any transportable size and load-carrying capacity, designers of modular data centers are no longer limited by the dimensions of an ISO container
![Page 4: VectorBloc Data Centres July 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58ef7f921a28ab675b8b4593/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The range of possible VectorBloc module configurations is endless
High-strength HSS is used for frame construction, delivering exceptional rigidity
![Page 5: VectorBloc Data Centres July 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58ef7f921a28ab675b8b4593/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The VectorBloc structural connector delivers the strength required for multi-story, seismic structures andthe precision that ensures interoperable modules which connect easily and accurately at the site
![Page 6: VectorBloc Data Centres July 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58ef7f921a28ab675b8b4593/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
High strength, precision-machined steel castings include connection points that make it easy to connect modules to each other and to foundations, as well as simplifying the addition of cladding, stairs, etc.
![Page 7: VectorBloc Data Centres July 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58ef7f921a28ab675b8b4593/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Precision locating pins and gusset plates ensure accurate vertical and horizontal alignment of modules
Module interconnection is done from inside the modules, so groups of modules are easily joined with no space between them.
Since access to the outside is not required, cladding can be completely factory installed and modules ship weather-tight
![Page 8: VectorBloc Data Centres July 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58ef7f921a28ab675b8b4593/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The structural assembly procedure is straightforward.
Modules are rigged and hoisted using the locating and shear pin which projects from the top face at each corner
![Page 9: VectorBloc Data Centres July 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58ef7f921a28ab675b8b4593/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Once set in place, the shackle is removed and modules are joined laterallywith a gusset plate
![Page 10: VectorBloc Data Centres July 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58ef7f921a28ab675b8b4593/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The gusset plate is held down with flat head screws, locking the modules together, creating a level setting surface for the next module, and exposing the locating pins
![Page 11: VectorBloc Data Centres July 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58ef7f921a28ab675b8b4593/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Each layer of modules is positioned within .015” by the precision-machined locating pin
![Page 12: VectorBloc Data Centres July 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58ef7f921a28ab675b8b4593/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
High strength bolts tie the module down against seismic and wind forces
![Page 13: VectorBloc Data Centres July 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58ef7f921a28ab675b8b4593/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
![Page 14: VectorBloc Data Centres July 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58ef7f921a28ab675b8b4593/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Adjacent modules are set following the same procedure
![Page 15: VectorBloc Data Centres July 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58ef7f921a28ab675b8b4593/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
![Page 16: VectorBloc Data Centres July 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58ef7f921a28ab675b8b4593/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Precision modules deliver flat floorswith tight seams
![Page 17: VectorBloc Data Centres July 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58ef7f921a28ab675b8b4593/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Whether by reverse engineering or starting from a clean slate, VectorBloc designers create customized, easily-assembled flat pack chassis kits that suit customer equipment
![Page 18: VectorBloc Data Centres July 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58ef7f921a28ab675b8b4593/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
3D VectorJig located at VectorBloc Fabricating, Harrow, Ontario, Canada
To ensure interoperability among multiple VectorBloc-based suppliers to a common site,chassis kits are built in precision fixtures
![Page 19: VectorBloc Data Centres July 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58ef7f921a28ab675b8b4593/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Flat pack chassis kits can be shipped from VectorBloc Fabricating to fitout plants located anywhere in the world
![Page 20: VectorBloc Data Centres July 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58ef7f921a28ab675b8b4593/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Shipping flat-pack chassis kits is economical
![Page 21: VectorBloc Data Centres July 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58ef7f921a28ab675b8b4593/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Pre-cut, pre-drilled decking is supplied by VectorBloc or by the customer
![Page 22: VectorBloc Data Centres July 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58ef7f921a28ab675b8b4593/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Equipment is easily installed on the pre-prepped skid base
![Page 23: VectorBloc Data Centres July 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58ef7f921a28ab675b8b4593/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
![Page 24: VectorBloc Data Centres July 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58ef7f921a28ab675b8b4593/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
To keep the work area clear, columns are installed after the equipment
![Page 25: VectorBloc Data Centres July 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58ef7f921a28ab675b8b4593/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Temporary shipping braces or permanent structural braces are added as required
![Page 26: VectorBloc Data Centres July 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58ef7f921a28ab675b8b4593/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The ceiling and overhead cabling trays are installed next. The completed structure acts like a bridge truss, resisting shipping and stacking loads
![Page 27: VectorBloc Data Centres July 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58ef7f921a28ab675b8b4593/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Cladding is installed last and can be completely closed up for protection against precipitation and dust
![Page 28: VectorBloc Data Centres July 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58ef7f921a28ab675b8b4593/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Modules hoist from the top, eliminating hoisting lugs which interfere with adjacent equipment and add to load width
![Page 29: VectorBloc Data Centres July 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58ef7f921a28ab675b8b4593/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Completed modules with equipment installed are shipped to the site.
Equipment loads well over 100 tons can be accommodated by VectorBloc structures

Foundations are prepared in advance
If required, stanchions or a grillage is installed on the foundation
![Page 31: VectorBloc Data Centres July 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051404/58ef7f921a28ab675b8b4593/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
