BIM-Driven Solutions for Data Center Projects

Article content provided by Pinnacle Infotech.

From hyperscale campuses to modular edge facilities, our BIM services help clients meet tight timelines, ensure system reliability, and maintain up-time-critical standards. We support the complete data center lifecycle—from planning and design to construction and commissioning—with high-fidelity models and fabrication-ready deliverables.

Design for Reliability, Redundancy & Speed:

Data centers demand fault-tolerant infrastructure, continuous cooling, and robust power systems. Pinnacle’s BIM workflows support concurrent maintainability and Tier III/IV compliance by accurately modeling critical systems like HVAC, UPS, backup power, chillers, containment zones, and cable trays. Our coordinated models reduce RFIs, minimize field clashes, and enable on-time delivery of mission-critical infrastructure.

What We Offer:

• Full-Scope MEP Coordination: BIM modeling for mechanical (HVAC, CRAC units, chillers), electrical (UPS, switchgear, generators), and plumbing/fire protection systems with tiered redundancy modeling.
• Hot/Cold Aisle Containment Design: 3D design of containment systems integrated with airflow, cable trays, lighting, and structural coordination to maintain optimal cooling efficiency.
• Prefabrication & Modular BIM: LOD 400/500 modeling for prefabricated MEP racks, power skids, modular cooling pods, and containerized server units—reducing on-site construction timelines.
• Structural & Rack Layout Modeling: Coordination of raised flooring, server rack arrangements, structural supports, cable penetrations, and access pathways with real-time space validation.
• Point Cloud to BIM for Retrofit Data Centers: Laser scanning and as-built modeling of existing facilities for expansion, capacity upgrades, and system retrofits without disrupting live operations.
• Shop Drawings & Fabrication Support: Hanger and support layouts, spool drawings, coordinated installation sets, sleeve/insert drawings, and BOQs to accelerate field execution.

Industries Served:

• Hyperscale Data Center Campuses
• Colocation Facilities
• Enterprise Data Centers
• Modular & Edge Data Centers
• Financial & Government IT Hubs
