Traditional welded solutions may be insufficient in terms of the speed, flexibility, and precision required in data center projects.
Modular support systems provide significant advantages for such applications:
✔ Fast and controlled installation
✔ Flexible adaptation to site conditions
✔ Organized support and routing of MEP systems
✔ Ability to support multiple disciplines on the same structural framework
✔ Easy dismantling and future revisions
Especially in data centers that are expanded and commissioned in phases, modular systems provide a major operational advantage.
Seismic Systems: The Assurance of Operational Continuity
There is no tolerance for interruption in data centers. Therefore, seismic bracing and restraint systems play a critical role.
With properly engineered seismic systems:
✔ Uncontrolled movement of service lines during earthquakes is prevented
✔ Equipment connections are protected
✔ System integrity is maintained
✔ Operational continuity is supported
Rigid and cable seismic solutions should be properly positioned according to project requirements and supported by engineering calculations.
Engineering Approach: Not Standard, but Project-Specific Solutions
A “one-size-fits-all” approach is often insufficient in data center projects.
For each project, the following factors must be evaluated together:
- Load calculations
- Seismic requirements
- Spatial and installation constraints
- Application details
Therefore, the right solution starts with an engineering approach before product selection.
The Role of BIM and Digital Design
BIM (Building Information Modeling)-based design processes provide significant advantages in the proper positioning of support and seismic systems in data center projects.
✔ Interdisciplinary clashes are resolved during the design phase
✔ Support locations are accurately determined
✔ Site installation processes are accelerated
✔ Risk of errors is minimized
This approach eliminates the disconnect between design and field implementation.
Conclusion
In data center projects, support and seismic systems are often unseen yet critical components that directly affect overall system performance.
With the flexibility provided by modular systems and the safety ensured by seismic solutions, these systems are not merely structural supports;
they are essential building blocks of uninterrupted operations.
At Darhan, we approach every stage of our projects — from design to on-site implementation — with an engineering-driven perspective, aiming not only to install systems, but to ensure they operate correctly and reliably.
