Case Study: Global Switch Data Center – Typhoon TWY Louvers

Case Study: Global Switch Kwai Chung Data Center — Typhoon-Rated TWY Louvers

Client: Global Switch | Scope: TWY420/TWY220 typhoon-rated louvers | Status: Completed

Background

Global Switch operates mission-critical data centers across Asia-Pacific. Their Kwai Chung, Hong Kong facility required louver systems for cooling-air openings — where a single blade failure can threaten server operations.

The challenge

  • Cooling louvers must maintain airflow efficiency while sealing against typhoon-driven rain and wind
  • Data center availability requirements: no compromise on structural integrity
  • Deliverables needed to satisfy a global operator’s QC standards

The solution

Runheng supplied the TWY420 (integrated/split blade) and TWY220 (small typhoon louver) models — the TWY series developed specifically for Hong Kong’s typhoon wind loads, with structural strength exceeding ordinary architectural louvers. The project is documented in 39 engineering files.

Results

  • Typhoon-rated louvers delivered for a mission-critical cooling system
  • 39 engineering files documenting design, fabrication and QC
  • Ongoing trust: Global Switch returned for repeat TWY series work
