Fixing Solutions for Modern Data Centres: Download Our New Guide
Data centres are among the most technically demanding construction environments. Every area of the building requires careful coordination between structural systems, mechanical services, electrical infrastructure and the building envelope.
Selecting the correct fixing is therefore about more than choosing a screw of the right size. Material, corrosion resistance, substrate, installation environment and long-term performance must all be considered.
The new Evolution Data Centre Fixing Guide brings these requirements together in one practical, application-led resource.
Fixing solutions across the complete facility
Rather than presenting products in isolation, the guide is organised around the different areas found within a typical data centre.
Applications covered include:
Internal applications and server areas.
Cable containment and trapeze supports.
M&E plant rooms.
Cooling, ventilation and pipework systems.
Building envelope applications.
Roofs and external plant decks.
Service tunnels and link bridges.
External site infrastructure.
Each section helps specifiers, contractors and installers identify the types of fixing solutions that may be required throughout the project.
Choosing the right material
Data centre environments can vary considerably. While some internal areas remain clean and controlled, external plant, service tunnels and rooftop installations may experience moisture, airborne contamination or more aggressive environmental conditions.
The guide highlights fixing options available in carbon steel, coated steel, A2 stainless steel, A4 stainless steel and bi-metal construction.
Selecting an appropriate material can help reduce the risk of premature corrosion and support the expected service life of the wider installation.
Technical support from specification to installation
Every project has different substrates, loading requirements and environmental conditions. Product selection should therefore be supported by the relevant technical information and project requirements.
Evolution’s technical team can assist with:
Product selection.
Application reviews.
Material and corrosion considerations.
Technical documentation.
Testing and project-specific support.
Installation advice and best-practice guidance.
Our UKAS-accredited laboratory and training centre also allows us to investigate applications and provide additional technical support where required.
