Data Center Infrastructure

Design of new data centers and of halls added in later construction phases.

Structural capacity

Raised access floor, structural grid and floor-to-floor height are sized for the rack loads a facility will carry five or ten years out. Added density then becomes a commissioning task within the existing structure.

Site infrastructure

The site plan treats server halls, central utility plant and substation as one coordinated system, tied together by medium-voltage power, chilled water and fibre routes. Capacity in the substation, the generator yard and the routes is reserved for the halls not yet built. The second and third phases are therefore decided when the site is planned.

Continuous operation

A new hall is handed over with its own technical systems, while the halls already in operation continue at full load. Construction logistics, temporary power and the commissioning sequence are fixed from the first phase.

Service integration

Busway, chilled water piping and structured cabling are coordinated with the structural grid in a single shared model. The technical systems and the building form develop together.

Resilience class

The client sets the resilience class before design begins. The structure, the plant rooms and the routes follow from it.
