The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) provides data center load testing to assess the durability and performance of materials and structures. Heavy IT, cooling, and mechanical infrastructure places significant stress on supporting systems. Our services help clients ensure materials have the mechanical properties and characteristics needed for their intended application.
How is Mechanical Load Testing Used for Data Centers?
Mechanical load testing applies controlled, measurable loads to equipment and components to verify performance, capacity, and safety under realistic conditions. In data centers, it evaluates how systems respond to stress throughout their lifecycle. Engineers use these tests to select materials and identify potential failure modes before systems are operational. Load testing is required for several data center structures, including:
- Elevated platforms
- Overhead cabling systems
- Raised access floors
- Server racks
