THE CAROLINAS
We’re a fun-loving group of relationship enthusiasts who genuinely love what we do.
Barringer was founded on a shared desire to revive a diminishing approach to construction services – one where handshakes still hold great value, people are put first, and the act of building something is revered as a craft, not a commodity.

DUKE ENERGY CHARLOTTE DATA CENTER
HVAC and cooling redundancy upgrade for data center cooling system
This project involved the integration of HVAC, electrical systems, fire alarm, hot aisle containment, and control systems for all existing computer room air conditioning units. The main objective was to add redundancy to the cooling system by installing an additional 100 tons of redundant cooling capacity and 20,000 CFM airflow. The project also included the installation of sensors for enhanced monitoring and control. In total, eight existing units were integrated, and two additional units were added to complete the loop. All units were connected through supervisory control and data acquisition system and building management systems for centralized control and monitoring, ensuring efficient cooling and system reliability for the data center.

ATRIUM HEALTH PINEVILLE AHU REPLACEMENTS
A custom air handling upgrade in a operational hospital facility
Atrium Health’s Pineville Hospital underwent a major HVAC upgrade with the installation of a custom-built, 75-ton air handling unit (AHU). Designed to improve efficiency and patient comfort, this 19,000 CFM unit was strategically added to share the load of the existing AHU serving the patient floor.
Executing this project required precise coordination and structural modifications. Crews saw-cut the existing framework to create new duct drops—one above the mechanical space and another directly over the busy nurses’ station. To minimize disruption, the project team occupied another nurses’ station for a week, carefully removing the ACT ceiling, modifying the structure, routing new ductwork, and restoring the ceiling upon completion. A 275-ton mobile crane was brought in for the lift, stationed at the facility’s main entrance during a planned Saturday shutdown. LOCATION Charlotte,

CONFIDENTIAL CLIENT DATA CENTER IMPROVEMENTS
Data center improvements to achieve Uptime Institute’s Tier III Certification
Barringer completed two critical infrastructure projects at a financial data center, which included electrical and mechanical upgrades, fuel system replacement and new equipment installation.
Multiple infrastructure upgrades were performed throughout this 7-story building and adjacent utility plant to achieve the project’s main goal – Tier III Certification by Uptime Institute for the facility. The scope included new redundant infrastructure for mechanical and electrical systems and the addition of the following equipment: (1) 2MW generator, (3) air-cooled chillers, (6) CRAH units, (18) automatic transfer switches, and replacement of (4) main switchgear line ups. All work was completed without impacting the daily operations of the data center.
Delivering excellence in data center critical upgrades
Our team has completed multiple projects for a confidential repeat client, beginning with a new $40 million data center in 2013 with a previous employer and continuing with additional upgrades and expansions on their active corporate campus with Barringer.
Building D data center
Building D, on the company’s corporate campus, is LEED Silver certified data center and encompasses 46,000 square feet. The scope of the project included site development, a precast concrete structure, new infrastructure, and the build out of day-1 and -2 white space.
Building J critical power upgrades
In addition to updating the existing 5,000 square foot event lab, the Building J critical power upgrades project consisted of updating the data center with all new electrical gear, HVAC systems, chiller, CRAH units, and generator.
Transforming a dated office building into a high-tech, adaptable workplace
This global technology company opened its five-floor, 186,000-square-foot expansion to support a new emerging technology team. A thoughtful, research-driven approach transformed a dated office building into a hightech, adaptable workplace.
High-tech server and bench labs
The server labs were designed with a hot aisle and a cold aisle to contain the airflow and prevent the racks from overheating. This method is a more efficient means of cooling than other methods. The busway used allows for flexibility to “hot swap” or change electrical components depending on the requirements needed. In the bench labs, electrostatic discharge carpet and copper were installed to ground the flooring and prevent damage to equipment.

Generator and switchgear control system upgrade for campus power redundancy
This project replaced obsolete genius blocks with updated hardware and communication devices to enhance system reliability and reduce downtime. Modifications were made to the east and west generator switchgear control cubicles, and local control functionality was added for switchgears in buildings 1 and 2.
The upgrades supported a 3 million square foot campus with 10 generators and N+2 redundancy for zero downtime. The project modernized a 25-year-old legacy data center, transitioning it to a Tier 4 facility with Level 5 commissioning. Over two dozen 72-hour outages and weekend shutdowns were performed, including hydro excavation and infrastructure work to connect buildings.

Installation of 1100 KVA UPS with lithium-ion battery backup system
This project involved installing a 1100 KVA static UPS with a lithium-ion battery system to provide reliable backup power for up to 11 minutes during outages. The UPS was integrated into the existing electrical infrastructure. Key tasks included upgrading the electrical system with new breakers and a bypass switchboard, setting up the UPS and battery system, and relocating power distribution units (PDUs). The project also involved installing a cooling unit, adding a monitoring system, and making construction adjustments like widening doorways and modifying a concrete curb. Rigorous testing, including an 8-hour UPS test, ensured functionality. The work was completed after hours to ensure zero downtime in the occupied space, and temporary power was provided during installation.
