Underfloor fluid distribution system

A system, comprising:

• at least two piping-container modules, each piping-container module including a module body,
• a first portion formed in the module body, the first portion being configured to receive first liquid-cooling piping coupled to a cooling-distribution unit,
• a second portion formed in the module body, the second portion being configured to receive second liquid-cooling piping coupled to an equipment rack,
• a seal coupled to the first portion and the second portion, and
• a walking platform configured to be coupled to the module body, the walking platform being configured to enable a person to walk on the piping-container module.

A method of distributing coolant from a cooling-distribution unit to at least one equipment rack containing electronic equipment requiring cooling, the method comprising:

• receiving relatively chilled coolant through a first portion of a piping-container module from first liquid-cooling piping coupled to the cooling-distribution unit;
• delivering the relatively chilled coolant through a second portion of the piping-container module from second liquid-cooling piping coupled to the at least one equipment rack;
• coupling a seal to the first portion and the second portion;
• and
• providing a walking platform configured to enable a person to walk on the first liquid-cooling piping and the second liquid-cooling piping.
