Close the shell, start the fit-out
A data centre earns nothing until it is powered and cooled. Steel lets the shell close quickly so fit-out can start, and its long spans give flexible data hall layouts.
We design for the plant loads and deflection limits set by your MEP engineer and deliver in phases.
