About the Project

Wire mesh is a key material in the design of data centres. Wire mesh panels are used to enclose server areas, allowing for maximum airflow, while still providing security and preventing unauthorised access.

Forth 7512 welded wire mesh was the ideal choice for this project due to its spanning capability, light-weight, durability, and low-cost. Designed to be a discrete ventilated veil Data Centre gantry, it allows air transfer to the air-handling units and chillers.

The mesh was installed using Locker's innovative and adaptable multi-slot extrusion system as a supporting grid. This system allows the cladding installer to impose a dimensionally accurate substructure on to structural steel to eliminate tolerance issues.

The mesh panels are designed to be removeable to allow future replacement of the chiller units.
