Data centers continue to dominate the landscape of high performance facilities. With dense racks, raised access flooring, chiller plants, and complex backup systems, data centers offer up a tremendous opportunity to design, plan, and construct in a digital environment. VIATechnik’s experience in data centers include leading the entire BIM process, working with subcontractors to deliver a BIM experience, and scanning and modeling existing conditions.
As an example, VIATechnik’s team scanned, modeled, and coordinated The Chase Data Center. Capturing the existing conditions allowed the facilities team to understand the various systems in their data center, the design team to route around existing conditions, and the general contractor to plan their construction process.
Computational BIM, 4D BIM, and BIM Coordination. We can help owners optimize spaces for racking requirements, minimize cost problems and improve construction schedules. In one data center project, we brought in existing site conditions, high detail models, RAF, and construction phasing into the project.
Walk the data center in 1:1 scale with your team. Plan out construction logistics and understand potential operational issues before racks get built.
Worried about existing conditions? Through laser scanning and capturing the existing conditions of a facility, our firm can help minimize the disruption to current operations.
VIATechnik has worked with firms that either lead or seek to lead in their respective industries. Real estate developers, architecture firms, general contractors, and trade contractors have the potential to gain a strategic advantage through BIM.
