Mission-Critical MEP Design & Redundancy Engineering

Service Overview

Data center design is fundamentally an MEP coordination challenge. Power distribution topologies, precision cooling architecture, and fire suppression zoning must be coordinated with structural loading and cable pathways within extremely tight spatial envelopes. Desapex designs natively in 3D BIM, where the model is the design, catching conflicts long before construction begins.

Our Digital-First Approach

Establish BEP

Begin with a BIM Execution Plan (BEP) aligned with Organizational Information Requirements (OIR) per ISO 19650.

Author Federated Models

Author all architectural, structural, electrical, mechanical, and ICT designs within a federated Revit model.

Core Deliverables

  • High-density precision cooling design and scalable power topology layouts.

  • Energy-efficient envelope design targeting PUE below 1.3 with LEED, IGBC, and Uptime Institute Tier certification pathways.

  • Elimination of over 90% of coordination clashes before construction begins.

  • Prevention of costly construction delays through rigorous spatial conflict resolution.

Why Choose Desapex

In traditional workflows, MEP disciplines are designed in separate 2D silos and coordinated through manual overlays, catching only obvious conflicts. Desapex’s federated BIM approach resolves hundreds of clashes during the design phase alone, saving significant time and potential construction delays.

Unique Selling Proposition

Our USP is that Desapex is one of the few firms globally delivering data center design with full ISO 19650 Kitemark compliance from the concept stage. Our BIM model is the definitive, auditable, single source of truth serving construction, commissioning, and the 25-year operational lifecycle.
