Project Snapshot
Project type: Data center
Location: United States
Client type: Data Center Developer
Structural system: Structural steel frame
Software: Tekla TSD, Ideastatica, Navisworks, SAP2000
Scope of work: Structural steel design, Connection design, Engineering calculations and coordination support
The Challenge
- The data center required a structure capable of supporting high loads and redundancy requirements.
- Structural reliability was critical to support continuous operations and equipment loads.
- The design needed to comply with stringent US codes and performance criteria.
- Any structural compromise could impact operational resilience and long-term performance.
Our Engineering Approach
- We developed a robust steel framing system designed to meet high load demands and redundancy requirements.
- Structural analysis accounted for gravity, lateral, and serviceability criteria.
- Connection design was detailed to ensure reliable load transfer and constructability.
- Engineering decisions were guided by long-term operational performance, not just initial construction.
- All design work was carried out in compliance with AISC, ASCE 7, and IBC.
Tools and Deliverables
- Structural engineering calculations demonstrating strength and redundancy.
- IFC-level structural drawings suitable for fabrication and construction.
- Connection design documentation aligned with US standards.
