GF Piping: "from 6 months to 6 weeks" with offsite prefabrication and bespoke engineering

In today's digital world data centers are an essential part of our infrastructure. The Covid-19 pandemic has increased the pressure to reduce construction time schedules and achieve even higher levels of energy efficiency without sacrificing reliability. The cooling plant in a data center consumes on average 30-40% of the total electricity of the facility. To reduce time on-site and improve the efficiency of the plant the best possible equipment in combination with a forward thinking complete design and off-site fabrication is necessary. The best equipment needs the best piping! 

Can plastic pipes be used in a data center? What added-value do they bring? Which applications and where? How can bespoke upfront engineering combined with off-site fabrication reduce time on-site and improve quality of workmanship?
