Data center & telecommunication infrastructureAcoustic compliance & seismic engineering for mission-critical facilities

The communication industry is defined by the absolute necessity of 99.99% uptime. Infrastructure must operate continuously without failing due to environmental stressors or triggering municipal noise violations. We engineer the acoustic and seismic solutions that keep mission-critical facilities online and compliant.

Hyperscale Data Centers & Server Farms

The Hardware Risk

Managing massive thermal loads requires industrial-scale HVAC chiller plants and redundant MW-class backup generators — whose unmitigated structure-borne vibration can propagate down to the server floor and stress sensitive components.

The Engineering Solution

We design heavy-duty inertia bases, spring isolators and structural decoupling for chiller plants and generators, achieving dramatic noise reduction of up to 40 dB while protecting the server floor.

The Compliance & Seismic Risk

Distributed networks rely on rooftop equipment, antenna arrays and ground-level switching shelters. Routine generator testing frequently violates local property-line noise codes, and mission-critical equipment must survive seismic events.

The Engineering Solution

We perform predictive acoustic modeling and design custom generator enclosures, plus IBC and ASCE 7-compliant seismic restraint systems for rooftop and shelter equipment.

FAQ

Common questions — Communication

Have a specific facility or piece of equipment in mind? Our engineers are happy to talk it through.

Ask an Engineer

Yes. We perform predictive acoustic modeling and design custom enclosures so routine generator testing and operation stay within municipal noise codes.

High-frequency vibrations transmitted through the structure can induce shear stress on sensitive server components. We decouple mechanical equipment so this energy never reaches the server floor.

Mission-critical communication equipment must meet strict IBC and ASCE 7 standards. We engineer seismic restraint that keeps rooftop, shelter and rack-mounted systems operational during and after an event.

We engineer custom inertia bases, specialized spring isolators and structural decoupling systems that isolate rooftop cooling towers from the building structure below.
