Data centers
captured properly.
White space, MEP galleries, and roof plant captured without touching live IT load.
Why this building type gets scanned
A 3D scan service for data centers has to work around uptime. We capture white space, electrical rooms, chilled water plant, cable trays, and roof equipment while the floor stays live, then hand your team a coordinated model of the space they are about to change.
- Retrofit and densification planning depends on real clearances above the racks, not the original design set.
- Cooling and electrical upgrades cross trades — one coordinated point cloud stops the rework loop.
- Roof plant, generator yards, and fuel storage need the same coordinate system as the interior.
- Colocation tenants and audits ask for a documented as-built record that matches the physical room.
How a typical project runs
We walk the site or review drawings and photos, agree the areas and density, and set control. Field work is scheduled around your operations — nights, weekends, or planned outage windows where required. After registration and QA, the deliverable set is produced and reviewed with your team so the files are usable on day one. The full workflow is on our process page.
The deliverable set follows from the questions above. In practice that is terrestrial capture of the hall and its electrical rooms, a Revit model of the services above the racks, and a roof survey of the mechanical plant flown rather than walked.
- White space and containment
- Electrical rooms, MCC, switchgear
- Chilled water and CRAC/CRAH plant
- Overhead tray, busway, and containment
- Generator yards and fuel systems
- Roof-mounted mechanical equipment
- Registered point cloud (E57 / RCP)
- Revit model at LOD 200–300
- 2D plans and sections (DWG / PDF)
- Roof and yard orthomosaic
Where data hall capture comes up
Data centre work follows power, fibre, and cheap floor area rather than the population map, and the constraint is identical wherever the hall sits: a live floor, an escort, and a window that was agreed weeks ago.
In New York that covers white space and electrical room capture in Amherst, data hall scanning in Manhattan, above-rack clearance surveys in New York, and chilled water plant documentation in White Plains. New Jersey coverage includes white space and electrical room capture in Cherry Hill, data hall scanning in Jersey City, above-rack clearance surveys in Parsippany-Troy Hills, and chilled water plant documentation in Wayne. On the Connecticut side it takes in white space and electrical room capture in Bristol, data hall scanning in Fairfield, above-rack clearance surveys in Greenwich, chilled water plant documentation in Norwalk, and roof equipment and generator yard capture in Stamford.
