Deep Support Capacity Evaluation Service for Data Center Development | Geotech
We precisely evaluate the long-term allowable bearing capacity of the ground that supports ultra-high loads, reducing the risk of differential settlement.
In data center development, the ultra-high loads resulting from the concentrated arrangement of server racks and uninterruptible power supplies exert pressure on the ground, making the stability of the structure extremely important. If there are uneven layers of viscous soil or soft layers in the deep ground, minor differential settlement may occur after the facility begins operation, potentially leading to equipment malfunctions or structural damage. Therefore, it is essential to accurately understand the characteristics of the deep ground and predict settlement behavior. Our ground investigation provides evidence-based long-term allowable bearing capacity through deep boring and laboratory consolidation tests, supporting the prevention of facility accidents. 【Usage Scenarios】 - Ground investigation during the planning of new data center construction - Prediction of bearing capacity and settlement of deep ground - Preliminary assessment of differential settlement risks and consideration of countermeasures 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Optimization of structural design based on precise ground data - Prevention of equipment malfunctions and structural damage due to differential settlement - Assurance of structural safety in long-term facility operations

Applications/Examples of results
It is applied to the verification of deep soil bearing capacity in the design and development of data centers, AI server buildings, and hyperscale data centers where ultra-high loads are anticipated. It is optimal for determining the overconsolidation ratio of cohesive soil layers and for blocking future risks through consolidation settlement analysis, as well as for obtaining the basis for vertical and horizontal bearing capacity calculations of pile foundations. Furthermore, it can be used for structural compatibility assessments, preparation of documents for building confirmation reviews, prevention of differential settlement issues in large facilities, and as a basis for evaluating long-term safe operation.
