Intelligent Buildings and Engineering Infrastructure
Power Plants
What is it?
A power plant is a standalone heat and electricity supply station based on gas-fired cogeneration power systems. Net electricity and heat generation costs within power plants are much lower than the rates of traditional power suppliers. As a result, a private power plant offers the ability to realize significant annual financial benefits after an initial investment comparable to the cost of connecting to an external power grid.
CROC’s Services
CROC deploys turn-key local power plant solutions capable of providing: 85-90% efficiency, low-cost electric power generation, a quick return on investment, complete energy independence from external mains and heating networks, and reliable system operation. CROC engineers are skilled in installing power plant equipment in detached buildings, specially designed containers, and in premises in immediate proximity to the customer. Smooth and efficient operation is ensured by the fact that power plant systems automatically regulate temperature and noise levels. Implementations are performed using products from Tedom, MTU, Rolls-Royce, Deutz, F.G.Wilson, Cummins, and Caterpillar.

Rotary Heat Exchanger Air Conditioning Systems
What is it?
Rotary heat exchanger air conditioning systems are based on exhaust air flow heat utilization technology and offer companies cost-effective, state-of-the-art IT room cooling and temperature control functionality.
CROC’s Services
CROC is a specialist in designing rotary heat exchanger air-conditioning systems for data centers, server rooms, and other technical premises. The solution is ideal for use with base stations and sites with limited or irregular electricity supply, and reduces air-conditioning total power share from the traditional 20-30% to 7-12%.
Data center design and implementation in accordance with the Uptime Institute’s Tier Classification System
What is it?
The Uptime Institute (USA) is one of the largest independent organizations pioneering and continuing to develop innovations as well as the Tier Classification System for rating data center facilities in order to improve reliability and uninterruptible availability (uptime). Data center design, implementation and certification in accordance with the Uptime Institute's standards protect investments and ensure business stability and resilience. All over the world, companies strive to attain Uptime Institute certification in order to guarantee absolute reliability and deliver a high level of service to customers.
CROC’s Services
CROC offers data center engineering infrastructure design and implementation services, including structured cabling, power supply, air-conditioning, fire extinguishing, alarm, CCTV, access control, monitoring, management and information security systems. CROC also offers data center preparation for certification by the Uptime Institute. CROC has Accredited Tier Designers and is fully qualified to design and prepare customers’ data centers for Tier certification in accordance with the Uptime Institute Tier Classification System (I-IV)—the international data center site infrastructure benchmarking standard.
Diesel Rotary Uninterrupted Power Supplies
What is it?
Diesel Rotary Uninterrupted Power Supply (DRUPS) is an innovative solution which combines the functionality of stabilized power supplies with a diesel-generator. DRUPS is based on an electro-mechanical flywheel which stores kinetic energy when the mains electricity supply is on. In the event of mains electricity supply failure, stored energy in the flywheel is released to drive a diesel-generator which supplies power. The kinetic energy of the rotating flywheel is sufficient to maintain power until the diesel-generator speeds up, at which point the power supply is automatically switched to a diesel-generator.
CROC’s Services
CROC is a partner of Hitec Power Protection, a global leader in the DRUPSmarket. We offer power system implementation services based on Hitec’s Dynamic Power Stabilizer for data centers, industrial sites and office buildings.
Benefits of DRUPS compared to traditional uninterrupted power supply solutions (UPS + diesel-generator) include:
- Power savings throughout the system lifecycle (with efficiency of up to 98 percent)
- Long service life (over 25 years) significantly reduces TCO
- High reliability
- High quality of electric power under any conditions
- Minimum floor space requirements (higher kVA/m2 ratio compared to classic systems)
- Green solution (no need to replace rechargeable batteries)
Building Deformation Monitoring Systems
What is it?
Building deformation monitoring systems provide up-to-date information about the technical condition of manufacturing and apartment buildings. Such systems have multi-level design and usually include:
- Sensors that collect information about supporting (load-carrying) structures and translate deformation/stress to electrical signals
- Electrical signal amplifiers
- Data collection and analysis systems to visualize information
Specialized software to monitor and analyze collected information
CROC’s Services
CROC installs and tunes building deformation monitoring systems which ensure:
- Timely information regarding the need for building repairs
- Monitoring and analysis of supporting (load-carrying) structure stress in order to mitigate destruction risk and ensure safety
