    In 2014, BBA participated in building and expanding COLO-D’s first 20 MW data centre in Drummondville. The company mandated BBA again to perform the electrical design of their second data centre, with a 35 MW capacity, in Longueuil. In both instances, BBA’s mandate included designing and commissioning the centre’s 25 kV input, the critical low-voltage supply system, emergency generators and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) units.
