IT – Data Centre Infrastructure
Asset integrity and engineering support for mission-critical data centre infrastructure.
We provide structural integrity and engineering support for mission-critical data centre infrastructure, ensuring the reliability, safety, and performance of structural systems and equipment support structures. Our services focus on the assessment, verification, and lifecycle management of infrastructure supporting power, cooling, and IT systems within operational data centre environments.
Our Capabilities
- Risk based inspection
- Structural assessment of steel frames, mezzanines, and equipment support systems
- Load verification for generators, UPS systems, and cooling plant
- Assessment of cable tray and pipe support infrastructure
- Evaluation of anchorage systems and structural fixings
- Support for brownfield modifications and infrastructure upgrades
- Inspection and maintenance strategy development for long-life assets
Data centre reliability depends not only on electrical systems, but also on the integrity of structural and support infrastructure that enables continuous operation.
Key Structural Considerations
- High static and dynamic loading from generators, UPS systems, and cooling plant
- Vibration and fatigue effects from rotating equipment and cyclic operational loads
- Structural capacity verification for phased upgrades and increasing equipment density
- Integration of new equipment within existing structures and support systems
- Integrity of cable tray, pipe support, and secondary steel infrastructure
- Anchorage and fixings performance under operational and dynamic loading
- Long-term durability, corrosion risk, and maintenance planning for critical assets
Our approach aligns with recognised engineering standards and best practices for structural assessment, inspection, and integrity management.
Supporting Mission-Critical Operations
Data centres operate with minimal tolerance for failure. Our engineering approach ensures that structural and support systems meet the demands of continuous operation, supporting safe installation, maintenance, and upgrade of critical equipment without compromising facility reliability.
