AirTrunk Data Centre

ASL has played a critical role in the successful delivery of multiple AirTrunk Data Centre projects across Australia, providing specialist Acoustic Engineering and Vertical Transportation consultancy. Our involvement has helped support AirTrunk’s commitment to delivering hyperscale facilities that are fast, efficient, and future-ready — aligned with the unique planning, environmental, and operational requirements of the Australian market.

Acoustic Services

Our team has provided tailored acoustic solutions that address the stringent compliance requirements set by local councils, state planning authorities, and the Environment Protection Authorities (EPAs) across different jurisdictions in Australia. Our key services include:

• Environmental Noise Assessments: Modelling and mitigation of noise emissions from mechanical plant and emergency power systems, with designs calibrated to meet EPA guidelines and Australian Standards (AS/NZS).
• Building Services Acoustics: Engineering noise and vibration control for critical infrastructure such as generator halls, cooling plant platforms, and switch rooms to ensure occupational comfort and equipment integrity.

Our acoustic designs balance technical performance with buildability, supporting AirTrunk’s rapid delivery timelines and ensuring approval pathways are smooth and predictable.

Vertical Transportation Services

ASL has designed and delivered bespoke vertical transportation systems to meet the operational demands of AirTrunk’s Australian campuses, which require robust and efficient movement of both personnel and critical infrastructure. Our services include:

• Global Design Brief: Developed a global vertical transportation design brief to encapsulate the minimum design standards and technical requirements for Airtrunk developments.
• Specification of Freight and Service Lifts: Supporting the vertical movement of IT racks, UPS systems, and heavy mechanical equipment, with systems designed to meet the demands of 24/7 data centre operations.
• Regulatory Compliance and Tender Support: Ensuring all vertical transportation systems comply with Australian lift codes and standards (e.g., AS 1735), and assisting in contractor selection and delivery oversight.

Our integrated approach ensures that both acoustic and vertical transportation systems are embedded early in the design process, enabling seamless coordination with architectural, mechanical, and structural teams — a key success factor for the fast-paced, technically intensive delivery model AirTrunk employs.
