Data Center Steel Structures
Data center steel structures usually use high-capacity frames that carry dense equipment and floor loads while keeping clear heights and MEP routes predictable. Detailing, fabrication, inspection and delivery support follow approved drawings; fire, seismic and structural design responsibility is defined by the project contract.
Applicable Scenarios
New-build data centers, expansion halls, equipment platforms and modular data halls where structural steel carries dense rack and cooling loads.
Projects range from a single hall to phased campuses; fabrication and dispatch can follow floor or zone sequences.
Loads, Clear Height & MEP Interfaces
Floor loads differ between rack areas, battery rooms and cooling zones, while clear height drives the space available for cable trays and ducts.
Detailing coordinates structural openings, hanger points and service routes in the model, closing clashes before fabrication; actual loads and clear heights follow the project design documents.
Members & Services
Scope covers columns, primary and secondary beams, bracing, equipment supports and connection parts, through cutting, drilling, welding, straightening, dimensional inspection and coating.
For the Manila BIT Data Center in the Philippines, the steel scope was approximately 3,200 tonnes over roughly 28,000 square meters, with focus on floor loads, fire protection and MEP coordination.
Delivery & Installation Support
Marking, packing and container loading follow a phased dispatch plan aligned with the site erection sequence to reduce double handling.
Installation support can cover member identification, erection sequencing, connection clarification and issue closure; whether physical erection or resident engineers are included is confirmed by project location and contract.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are steel and MEP clashes managed?
Openings, hanger points and service routes are coordinated in the detailing model, and clashes are closed in approved revisions before fabrication.
Can deliveries be phased by floor or zone?
Yes. Marking, packing and dispatch can follow the site sequence and the project phasing plan.
Who specifies fire and seismic requirements?
The project designer and local authority; we fabricate and deliver to approved drawings and coating specifications.
Which inputs are needed for a quote?
Drawings or models, floor loads, clear-height requirements, MEP interfaces, applicable standards, delivery zones and target date.
How are overseas data center projects packed and shipped?
Professional packing and container loading at our Foshan factory, mainly by sea freight, with documents and lead time confirmed per order.
