Data Centres & Tech Parks
Infrastructure for India's Digital Economy, Built to Different Tier Standards
Data centre construction demands precision, speed, and an engineering partner who understands uptime as a business requirement. Alphaspan’s structural solutions for data centres and tech parks are designed from first principles to support critical infrastructure.
Why Steel for Data Centres?
The fastest-growing segment of Indian construction is data centre development. Speed of construction is critical, operators are racing to meet demand driven by cloud adoption, regulatory data localisation requirements, and the expansion of AI infrastructure. Pre-engineered steel is now the structure of choice for hyperscale and colocation data centres globally, and Alphaspan brings that capability to the Indian market.
- Speed: steel erection timelines support aggressive commissioning schedules
- Precision: factory fabrication delivers the dimensional accuracy needed for raised floor grids and modular UPS/battery room layouts
- Load capacity: composite steel deck floors carry the high point loads of server racks and UPS systems
- Flexibility: bay structure allows future white space expansion without structural modification
- EMI screening: steel fabric of the building contributes to shielding; specialist EMI panels available for sensitive zones
Technical Considerations for Data Centre Structures
- Floor loading: 10 to 20 kN/m² for server hall floors; higher for battery and UPS rooms
- Raised floor compatibility: 600mm void under composite deck slab for power and data routing
- Ceiling heights: 4.5m to 6m finished ceiling for cooling equipment clearance
- Structural isolation: vibration attenuation detailing for generator rooms and UPS halls
- Blast valve compatibility: external wall detailing for pressurised server halls
- Security perimeter: compound wall, security gatehouse, and controlled access structures in scope
Tech Parks & IT Campuses
Beyond the server room, Alphaspan builds the full tech park envelope, office blocks, amenity buildings, car parks, data hall annexes, and campus infrastructure, under a single EPC contract.
- Multi-storey office buildings with composite steel frame
- Campus canopy structures and covered walkways
- Multi-level car parks (structural steel with composite deck)
- Landscaping co-ordination and external infrastructure
