Design Changes? No Problem: Keep Data Center Projects on Track

02 June 2025

Design changes are a fact of life in construction projects. But in high-density environments like data centers - where every inch of corridor space is filled with MEP services - a small change can lead to big headaches if it goes unnoticed.

Recently, our team faced precisely this challenge on a major data center project. A design update was introduced to the ventilation system, but installations progressed before the BIM model could be fully coordinated with the changes. Left unchecked, this could have caused serious conflicts once new systems were installed.

Enter the engineering grade augmented reality™ (AR).

While walking the corridor on-site, our engineers used AR to overlay the latest design data directly onto the physical environment. In just one inspection, they spotted not one - but two critical issues:

A deviation in the new ventilation layout that clashed with planned pipework

A hidden conflict further down the corridor between other MEP systems

Instead of discovering these problems weeks later - or worse, after installations were complete - the team addressed them on the spot. No guesswork. No rework. Just clear, actionable insights delivered in real time.

This is the power of proactive QA in construction. It bridges the gap between design and reality, ensuring changes are caught before they escalate into costly delays or rework.

At XYZ, we’re redefining how projects adapt to change, helping teams build with confidence, precision, and speed. Because in data centers, there’s no room for surprises.
