Structural systems for next-generation data centres

Why a data centre is a different engineering problem

On a data centre, close cooperation and mutual understanding between all disciplines is what makes the project work. The structure is not designed in isolation - it follows and supports the processes taking place inside the facility, and that is only possible when the disciplines understand each other and work together from the first stage.

Data centres contain a large quantity of equipment installed at high density, which directly governs loads, layouts and structural details. Efficiency is therefore the measure throughout the design process - the goal is not simply to design a structure, but to develop one that effectively supports the processes, equipment and requirements of the entire facility.
