Data centre manufacturing requires clean air and reliable cable management for efficient operations

The rapid expansion of data centre infrastructure depends on a global network of manufacturers, fabricators and engineering firms. We help these companies maintain cleaner, safer and more efficient production while also providing selected solutions for data centre facilities. 

Supporting the data centre manufacturing ecosystem

Behind every data centre is an extensive industrial supply chain. Structural steel, mezzanines, server racks, electrical enclosures, switchgear and other critical infrastructure must be manufactured before a facility can be built and equipped.

These products rely on metal fabrication and machining processes that can generate welding fumes, dust and oil mist. We provide clean air solutions that help manufacturers protect employees, maintain productive facilities and support the growing demand for data centre infrastructure.

Key clean air challenges in data centre infrastructure manufacturing

Manufacturers throughout the data centre supply chain rely on welding, cutting, grinding, forming and machining. Depending on the size of the components and production environment, clean air strategies may include source capture, on torch extraction, containment and ambient filtration, or a combination of approaches.

Large fabrications, automated welding cells and complex production layouts can make traditional source capture impractical on its own. Ambient filtration and fixed or retractable containment can provide additional options for controlling fumes across these demanding manufacturing environments.
 

Structural steel and fabricated infrastructure

Data centres require substantial structural infrastructure, including steel framing, beams, mezzanines, platforms, stairs and supporting structures. These large components can create significant welding and fabrication demands.
We provide clean air solutions for both manual and automated fabrication, ranging from source capture to ambient filtration and containment for larger work areas.

Server racks, electrical enclosures and power distribution equipment

Server racks, cabinets, electrical enclosures, switchgear and related power distribution equipment are often manufactured in high volume metalworking environments. Production may combine automated forming, robotic or collaborative welding, grinding, finishing and machining.
Our solutions support both manual and automated production, helping control welding fumes, process dust and oil mist while maintaining cleaner manufacturing environments.

Engineering firms and global data centre projects

Large data centre projects often rely on engineering firms to define facility requirements and specify equipment. Engineering may take place in one country while components are manufactured in another and the completed data centre is located in a third.

Safety requirements, product certifications and technical standards can vary between markets. Our global experience helps engineering firms and project partners identify solutions appropriate for the application and destination, including industrial air filtration, combustible dust considerations, and power and data cable reels.

Power and data cable reels for data centre environments

Data centres require convenient access to electrical power and network connections during installation, operation, testing and maintenance. Retractable cable reels help organize cables, reduce loose cables in work areas and provide access where it is needed.

We offer power and data cable reel solutions for demanding environments. Data cable reels provide reliable wired network access, while power cable reels provide organized access to electrical power for equipment and service activities.

Odor and gas control during equipment decommissioning

Data centre equipment eventually reaches the end of its operating life and may be dismantled, disassembled or prepared for recycling. Some of these activities can release odours or gaseous contaminants from electronic components and materials.

Local extraction and filtration can help capture these contaminants close to the source and improve air quality in the work area.
