Data Center 3

Iowa has long served as a central node in this Data Center owner’s North American data strategy. This facility marked another major expansion at this flagship location, delivering critical cloud computing infrastructure to meet global user demand. The project was part of a multi-phase buildout executed across an active operational campus.

Confidential Data Center Project Details:

This expansion focused on balancing high-density server deployment with continuity of operations during adjacent facility use. The structure included large-span steel members and rooftop equipment zones, integrated with complex underfloor MEP routing. Site access and logistics planning were critical due to parallel ongoing construction activity nearby.

DBM Vircon’s Scope of Work:

DBM Vircon provided comprehensive LOD 400 steel and MEP modeling services, drawing from a robust project database built across prior phases. Using Tekla and Revit, the team facilitated early clash detection and fabrication-ready documentation.

Through intelligent model structuring and sequencing studies, DBM Vircon reduced risk associated with simultaneous build activity, helping keep field crews productive and on schedule. This ongoing relationship with this owner underscores DBM Vircon’s expertise in phased data infrastructure delivery.
