DATA CENTER SOLUTIONS
As data center needs evolve and new trends emerge, Unistrut Midwest is an ideal partner for both modernizing existing data centers and building new ones. Our team provides expert service in the design, prefabrication, and installation of data center solutions. Utilizing modular support systems and prefabrication allows for an adaptable and sustainable solution for the growing demands of hyperscale data centers.
Hot Aisle Containment Solutions
Improve capacity and energy efficiency with hot aisle containment solutions. Separating cold supply air from hot exhaust is one of the most popular strategies in data centers and Unistrut Midwest streamlines these projects by designing repeatable drops that are pre-cut, pre-loaded, and pre-assembled. These hot aisle containment drops arrive bundled by type, reducing the need for on-site cutting and assembly and simplifying installation. Unistrut Midwest also prefabricates ground mounted structural containment systems, leveraging these self-supported structures to free up overhead space.
Ceiling Grids + Trapeze Solutions
For years, architects and engineers have used structural ceiling grids and trapezes for data center installations, leveraging the ability to transform otherwise unusable space into a robust support system. Ceiling grids and trapezes are ideal for creating an interstitial secondary support structure for electrical bus ducts, cable trays, fire suppression piping, and other MEP systems. Many hyperscale data centers have standardized Unistrut Systems in their designs, recognizing their versatility to adapt to current setups and future configuration changes. With a focus on flexibility and future-proofing, Unistrut Midwest provides a scalable and adaptable solution for evolving data center needs.
Raised Access Floor Solutions
Boosting efficiency and heat load capacities, a raised access floor enhances cooling capabilities and allows for easy integration of redundant cooling strategies and energy-efficient designs tailored to data centers. As a certified Tate Access Floor partner, Unistrut Midwest is expertly trained in analyzing the airflow of any new or existing data center and designing solutions to improve energy efficiency and available capacity. With a focus on adaptability, our systems are adjustable to client needs including organizational and technological changes. Raised access floors also reduce maintenance and operating costs, and the underfloor service distribution space enhances organization and airflow, keeping interiors neat and efficient.
Pipe Rack Systems
As the industry trends toward liquid cooling systems for data centers, the need for pipe racks has become more important than ever. Creating the support structure for this system differs from traditional data center builds in that they must accommodate the significant weight of large, water-filled pipes without disrupting the data center’s overall design. With extensive expertise and product knowledge, Unistrut Midwest can design the ideal solution for these evolving requirements. Our bolted systems offer quick modifications and endless design flexibility, making design and installation easy. Additionally, prefabricating pipe racks off-site reduces construction times by fabricating runs of piping on the ground and lifting full assemblies in place.
Wire Mesh Partitions
Wire mesh partitions provide an economical and effective solution for separating and securing customer-specific server or network equipment. By sectioning off the server room, these partitions prioritize security and minimize the risk of unauthorized entry, which is particularly crucial in co-location facilities where multiple companies share the same space.
Data Center Services
Design + Engineering
Hyperscale data centers can have tens of thousands of servers, as opposed to the few hundred servers a traditional data center may have. With those larger load capacities come new demands for data center size, design, and engineering. By working with Unistrut Midwest, you eliminate the need to juggle multiple vendors and resources. We have the team, materials, and expertise to design and engineer the data center systems you need.
Prefabrication + Installation
When every week that a data center is offline costs an organization hundreds of thousands of dollars, speed to market is critical. Prefabrication offers a faster and more sustainable solution by reducing on-site work and minimizing construction waste.
Unistrut Midwest’s prefabrication capabilities are ideal for data center projects due to the highly repeatable components found in data halls. Cutting channel to size, pre-assembling fittings, or building repeatable components all occurs in our warehouse at ergonomically adjustable workstations before being transported to the site. This approach allows for quick onsite installation in a fraction of the time needed for traditional welded steel structures, saving hundreds of man hours and streamlining the entire process.
