Data center work moves fast and repeats. One campus can mean several buildings to the same design, each on a schedule with no room for a late delivery or a part that doesn’t fit. We supply the structural and miscellaneous steel those jobs run on, processed to your drawings and delivered when each area is ready.
We work with general contractors, steel fabricators and erectors, and electrical and mechanical contractors, from the bid package to the last release.
Steel we supply for data center builds
Shell and core framing
W-Beams, columns, HSS, channels and angles to ASTM A992, A572 and A500, cut to length, drilled and coped (05 12 00).
Generator yard and rooftop dunnage
Steel for generator, switchgear, transformer and chiller dunnage, rooftop mechanical dunnage, screen posts, equipment platforms and mezzanines, processed to your shop drawings (05 50 00).
Cable tray and busway support
Pre-punched support channel and custom roll-formed profiles for trapeze supports, with laser-cut brackets, clips and hanger plates (26 05 29).
Embed plates and base plates
Laser- and plasma-cut plate for embed plates, base plates and anchor layouts, with anchor bolt plans from our detailing team.
Brackets and formed parts
Laser-cut and press-brake-formed brackets, gussets, clips and covers, in the repeat quantities a campus build needs.
Miscellaneous metals
Stair, ladder and guardrail steel, bollard pipe, checker plate covers and the plate parts of a misc. metals package (05 50 00, 05 51 00, 05 52 00).
Purlins and girts
Cold-formed C and Z purlins and girts for shell buildings and equipment enclosures, cut to length and pre-punched (05 40 00).
Campus solar
Galvanized piles, ground screws and racking profiles for ground-mount and carport solar on data center sites.
Built around how data center steel is bought
- Bid packages
- Send the IFC set, a bid package, a takeoff or a BOM. Our estimating team reviews every request and returns an itemized quote, line by line.
- Pre-construction
- Takeoffs, value engineering and a long-lead review before the PO is cut, so heavy shapes and coated material are ordered in time.
- Drawings and files
- Shop drawings, erection drawings, anchor bolt plans and CNC files from our detailing team when the package needs them.
- One PO
- Material and processing on a single purchase order: cut, drilled, coped, bent, rolled and galvanized as specified.
- Phased delivery
- Releases by building, data hall, level or sequence, bundled and tagged by piece mark, so each crew pulls only what it needs.
- Documentation
- Mill test reports and heat-number traceability with every delivery, plus galvanizing certificates where coatings apply.
- Repeat phases
- Standard parts repeat cleanly from one hall or building to the next: the same drawings and files produce the same parts.

Data center steel FAQ
What steel do you supply for data center construction?
Structural steel for shell and core framing (W-Beams, HSS, channels and angles), generator, switchgear and rooftop dunnage steel, equipment platforms and mezzanines, cable tray and busway support channel and brackets, embed plates and base plates, cold-formed purlins and girts, and miscellaneous metals such as stair, ladder and guardrail steel, all cut and processed to your drawings.
Can you quote from IFC drawings or a bid package?
Yes. Send the IFC set, a bid package, a takeoff or a BOM. Our estimating team reviews every request and returns an itemized quote; if something in the package is missing, we list exactly what we need.
Can you deliver in phases?
Yes. We release and deliver by building, data hall, level or erection sequence, bundled and tagged by piece mark, so material arrives as each area is ready instead of all at once.
Do you provide mill test reports and traceability?
Yes. Material ships with mill test reports (MTRs) and heat-number traceability for your QA/QC records, and with galvanizing certificates where hot-dip galvanizing applies.
Do you prepare shop drawings and anchor bolt plans?
Yes. Our detailing team prepares shop drawings, erection drawings, anchor bolt plans and CNC files from your contract drawings, so anchor layouts can go to the concrete contractor early.
Do you supply data center projects outside California?
Yes. From our Anaheim, California headquarters we deliver across Southern California and the Central Valley and ship to data center projects nationwide, including Texas, Arizona and Nevada.
Who designs the seismic anchorage and equipment supports?
The engineer of record, or a delegated engineer, designs equipment anchorage and supports (in California, to ASCE 7 Chapter 13 through the building code). We detail, cut and supply the parts to that design and raise questions as RFIs before release.
Do you erect steel, or can you supply our fabricator?
We supply and process steel and parts; erection stays with your erector. Fabricators and erectors can buy material, cut and formed parts, and shop drawings from us for their own scope.
Can you supply the same parts for later phases of a campus?
Yes. Standard parts repeat cleanly from phase to phase: send the same drawings or files and we cut, form and deliver the same parts for the next hall or building.
