Structural Design >Data Center> USA

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

  1. The data center required a structure capable of supporting high loads and redundancy requirements.
  2. Structural reliability was critical to support continuous operations and equipment loads.
  3. The design needed to comply with stringent US codes and performance criteria.
  4. Any structural compromise could impact operational resilience and long-term performance.

Our Engineering Approach

  1. We developed a robust steel framing system designed to meet high load demands and redundancy requirements.
  2. Structural analysis accounted for gravity, lateral, and serviceability criteria.
  3. Connection design was detailed to ensure reliable load transfer and constructability.
  4. Engineering decisions were guided by long-term operational performance, not just initial construction.
  5. All design work was carried out in compliance with AISC, ASCE 7, and IBC.

Tools and Deliverables

  1. Structural engineering calculations demonstrating strength and redundancy.
  2. IFC-level structural drawings suitable for fabrication and construction.
  3. Connection design documentation aligned with US standards.

Results & Value Delivered

  1. Delivered a reliable and compliant structural design for a mission-critical facility.
  2. Reduced structural risk through conservative yet efficient engineering.
  3. Supported smooth progression into fabrication and construction.
  4. Provided confidence in long-term performance and operational resilience.

Value to the Client

  1. Delivered mission-critical structural engineering expertise.
  2. Reduced risk for a high-availability data center facility.
  3. Provided clear, approval-ready design documentation.
  4. Demonstrated strong experience in US data center structural projects.
