Competences

data centers

In the case of data centers, resource efficiency and flexibility are increasingly important to data center design, apart from the standard issues of security and availability, provisioning time, allocation strategies, and costs per kilowatt. In metropolitan areas, space efficiency is also important.
Data center projects always require trade-offs, which we address with our team of architects and engineers by taking a 360° perspective. We plan all our data center projects BIM-capable in Revit; this makes decisions easier for our clients and makes the handover to operations smoother. 

architecture

The holistic planning of modern data center buildings that are subject to constant technical development during their life cycle has been a focus of our work over the past decade. Apart from the need for high technical functionality, these buildings should look good and be well architected so that they integrate well into their urban context, without sacrificing cost efficiency.

general planning

Our clients are increasingly demanding more than the development of individual architectural elements; they want us to become the design authority for the project, taking on complete planning responsibility for all the various trades.

We have successfully offered this comprehensive service for many years.

We offer all individually required planning services with our long-term partners as an interface-free package, that can include planning the integration of technical building equipment, structural design, management of third party building physics consulting and Federal emission compliance services.  In doing so, we always have the best overall solution for our clients in mind. A full service package.

ttsp hwp consultants

It is not only the operation of data centers that has shown a high growth potential for providers and users, but the investment in data center real estate has also become a very lucrative market. Annual growth of 20 percent in data center space is forecast for Germany.

Our team of experienced consultants examines the risk profile of corporate strategies in this area. It evaluates locations, terrain, and options; identifies interrelationships and market mechanisms, and provides a sound basis for securing investments and further business development.

Market entry or expansion of the footprint, collocation or cloud, investor or operator - our interdisciplinary consulting services for data centers always take into account the market situation as well as the total cost of ownership and efficiency.

ttsp hwp tech

The technical equipment (MEP) of a data center determines the function, availability and performance of the building during operation. In addition to the relevance of the building technology in terms of construction costs, efficient operation has a significant impact on cost-effectiveness and resource consumption. In this respect, state-of-the-art planning is an important component in providing our customers with competent advice. Our colleagues at TTSP HWP Tech are experienced experts who fit seamlessly into the general planning team and provide impetus for the development of sustainable overall concepts.

As a team of experts, we successfully handle all technical services (MEP) across all HOAI service phases and always with an eye on the best overall solution for our clients.

ttsp hwp sites

According to forecasts, investments in data centers throughout Germany are expected to grow at an annual rate of almost 20%. This means almost a doubling of the stock in only 5 years. Much of this demand is concentrated on Frankfurt and its surroundings.

The increasingly scarcity of electricity and general high demand for larger sites has made finding suitable land very hard. Even if a sufficiently large site with a good supply of electricity is available, laws and regulations can severely restrict data center use. 

Our team of specialists supports data center investors or operators in locating and assessing the suitability of sites. We support owners by preparing feasibility studies and by arranging contacts with interested parties.

Site identification:

• Power availability
• Early contact with municipalities

Site evaluation

• Due Diligence
• Master planning
• Power and fiber connectivity
