Back to all projects
Development and build-out of a 23,500 sq ft vacant warehouse into the Rogers EDC2 Phase II, Tier III certified Data Centre in Edmonton, Alberta. Our involvement began with an initial site review of existing structural elements and extended through the design and contract administration phases. The structural scope encompassed a range of critical elements to support the data center’s specialized requirements.
Our design work included the creation of a structural slab in power rooms to function as an air plenum for ducting, as well as robust support systems for extensive overhead cabling, accommodating Rogers’ specific capacity needs. We engineered foundations and support structures for significant mechanical equipment, including nine outdoor air handling Munter units with a complex tiered geometry, four 1MW generators, and multiple rooftop HVAC units. Additionally, our services involved the design of concrete pads for outdoor high-voltage electrical equipment and the structural modifications for the removal and rebuilding of a major exterior wall with larger supply and return air openings.
Throughout the project, we provided contract administration services for all structural aspects, including attendance at site meetings, thorough review of structural shop drawings, and construction review to ensure adherence to the design intent and quality standards. Our team adapted to evolving project requirements, including design changes due to increased capacity needs, equipment modifications, and ultimately, significant scope reductions that necessitated the revision and re-issuance of contract documents.
