As data generation and storage demands surge, data centres are rapidly expanding—driving significant growth in M&E contracting services. These complex environments require robust, scalable, and safe infrastructure, making the selection of M&E supports critical to long-term performance.
Walraven is at the forefront of data centre installations across Europe, offering a comprehensive range of fixing systems, passive fire protection solutions, and expert technical support tailored to the unique challenges of these facilities.
Key considerations for data centre M&E supports include load capacity, non-penetrative mounting options to protect sensitive flooring, and material finishes that minimise zinc whisker contamination—a serious risk to electronic equipment. Walraven’s BIS UltraProtect® 1000 finish and stainless steel options offer superior corrosion resistance and reduced zinc whisker risk.
Fire safety is another vital factor. Walraven provides fire-rated supports and passive fire protection products that meet international standards, helping ensure structural integrity in the event of a fire.
Modular and flexible design is essential for fast installation and future scalability. Walraven’s modular systems, including RapidRail®, RapidStrut®, and Maxx, allow for easy adaptation and reconfiguration without welding—enhancing safety and efficiency on site.
To further protect sensitive equipment, Walraven offers vibration-damping solutions and durable materials suited to humid environments, ensuring long-term reliability.
