This webinar will explore how structural engineers can contribute to the successful design and construction of data centres — one of the most sought after and structurally demanding building typologies globally. Industry experts will share insights into the complex engineering challenges involved in delivering these highly optimised structures.
Stability standards for data centres must meet a far more demanding remit than many traditional buildings. Beyond preventing collapse and safeguarding occupants, these structures must support uninterrupted operational reliability, ongoing adaptations and future scalability as fundamental requirements.
The session is designed to provide structural engineers with essential knowledge and expert perspectives on the physical infrastructure that underpins the digital world.
This webinar aims to equip structural engineers with technical understanding, professional awareness, and judgment required to contribute to the robust structural design and construction of data centers.
By the end of the webinar you should be able to:
Understand the unique structural performance requirements of data centres
Identify the principal structural risks and constraints influencing data centre design
Structural engineers and built‑environment professionals interested in the design, assessment, and construction of data centres.
Structural engineers in broader practice who wish to deepen their technical understanding of modern and emerging commercial, technology-aligned infrastructure.
Ian is a Technical Specialist in structural engineering at Laing O'Rourke. An experienced Chartered Engineer, Ian works with project teams across our portfolio of major buildings to challenge and strengthen their designs. In this webinar Ian will draw from LOR’s range of experts from across our specialist disciplines to provide insights into how structural approaches impact cost, carbon and constructability of data centres.
