K2 Data Center LV Module Installation

Project Overview

Superior Machinery was contracted to perform the critical heavy lift and installation of 48 Low Voltage (LV) modules for the K2 Data Center facility in Johor. To meet the project's aggressive construction schedule, our team deployed two 700-ton Demag all-terrain cranes to work simultaneously, accelerating the installation timeline significantly.

The Challenge

The primary challenge was logistical and time-sensitive. The project required the installation of all 48 modules in under two weeks to keep the overall construction on its critical path. This demanding schedule was compounded by the need for multiple crane repositions across the site. Each move necessitated the complete dismantling and re-erection of the cranes' complex luffing jib configurations, a time-consuming process that had to be flawlessly integrated into the daily workflow.

Our Solution

Our in-house engineering team developed a detailed, bespoke lift plan that served as the blueprint for the entire operation. We deployed two 700-ton Demag all-terrain cranes, managed by our most experienced operators and a dedicated lift supervisor. The solution included:

• A highly detailed phasing plan that sequenced every lift, dismantle, and re-erection to create a continuous, around-the-clock workflow.
• Two dedicated, expert crews—one for each crane—ensuring that assembly and disassembly of the luffing jibs were performed with maximum speed and safety.
• Proactive on-site project management that coordinated with all other site trades to ensure clear and safe operating zones for each crane position.
• The reliability of our well-maintained Demag cranes, which performed without issue throughout the intense, high-cycle operation.
