A webinar uncovering the unique design challenges data centres present to an increasing number of structural engineers.

This webinar explores 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 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.
