Built for Critical Infrastructure
Data centres require more than a standard industrial building. These facilities must accommodate high-density server environments, extensive electrical and mechanical systems, rooftop cooling equipment and strict environmental controls while providing the flexibility to adapt as technology and capacity requirements change.
Pre-engineered metal buildings provide a highly adaptable structural solution for these complex facilities. CMB building systems can be configured around operational requirements, equipment layouts and future expansion plans, helping create efficient facilities built for long-term performance.
Benefits of Using Steel
Faster Construction
Pre-engineered components are designed, detailed and manufactured in a controlled environment before arriving on site ready for assembly. Manufacturing can also take place alongside site preparation, helping streamline construction schedules and bring critical data centre capacity online sooner.
Flexible Interiors
Clear-span steel construction minimizes the need for interior load-bearing columns, creating open floor space that can accommodate server racks, cable trays, electrical distribution and mechanical equipment. The building can also be engineered with future expansion in mind, allowing additional capacity to be incorporated as operational requirements grow.
Structural Performance
Data centres place significant demands on their supporting structure, including heavy server equipment, rooftop cooling systems and backup power infrastructure. CMB building systems are engineered to accommodate project-specific structural loads while providing the durability and resilience required for critical facilities.
how cmb can help you build
Building critical infrastructure requires coordination between the building manufacturer, engineering team, construction partners and specialized building systems. CMB brings these elements together through an integrated approach focused on constructability, performance and long-term flexibility.
Engineered Solutions
Every CMB building system is engineered around the requirements of the individual project. Structural loads, equipment requirements, building dimensions, environmental conditions and future expansion can all be considered during the design and engineering process.
Integrated Building Systems
CMB works with industry partners to provide building solutions that extend beyond the primary steel structure. Partnerships with DonoBrace and Econo-Slab can support seismically tested bracing, foundation design and the integration of electrical and plumbing infrastructure into the overall building system.
Trusted Builder Network
CMB's network of Authorized Builders provides experienced local construction support throughout the building process. Working alongside CMB's engineering and manufacturing teams, Authorized Builders help carry the project from building design through installation and completion.
