Data Center Solutions
New data center construction is moving fast, and it isn't slowing down anytime soon. Whether you're creating a data center from scratch or expanding an existing campus, the build depends on the same non-negotiable systems: strut channel, threaded rod, anchors, structural hardware, and a roof that won't leak. Get any one of them wrong and it costs the project time. Fasteners Plus works with data center construction contractors and data center builders to make sure the right part is in stock and ready to ship, not stuck on backorder holding up the critical path. Here's a look at the products keeping data center construction projects on schedule, from the strut channel overhead to the roof penetrations that seal the whole building.
Strut Channel Systems
Data centers contain miles of piping and wiring, most of it configured overhead and secured to strut channel. Cable trays, conduit lines, and electrical infrastructure have to be organized and supported by a strut channel framing system built to handle the scale of modern data center construction.
Strut channel alone won't solve that problem, which makes it just as important to have the correct fittings to connect each component. Angle, flat, and clevis fittings, beam clamps, and channel brackets tie strut channel together and turn a collection of individual pieces into a seamless channel system instead of a pile of parts that almost fit.
Channel Hangers and Electrical Accessories
Creating an overhead electrical infrastructure requires a support system that's clean and consistent across long runs. That's where channel hangers, conduit clips, and clamps come in.
Strut channel fittings are a small but important part of every strut channel run, and each run comes with its own setup and its own fitting requirements. Angle fittings, channel brackets, beam clamps, pipe straps, and Z- and U-shaped fittings are just a few examples. Needs vary from job to job, and not having the right part on hand can cause real delays on a data center construction project. Fasteners Plus stocks the full system and keeps it ready to ship, so crews can spec the job right the first time and keep moving.
Custom-Cut and Stock Threaded Rod
Running strut channel isn't a "one-size-fits-all" job. Suspension length can vary from room to room, floor to floor, and foot by foot, and threaded rod with the correct finish, cut to the correct length, is the solution. Whether you need A307, Grade B7, Grade 55, zinc, stainless steel, or hot-dip galvanized threaded rod, Fasteners Plus has what you need.
Standard sizes are stocked and ready to ship, and custom-cut sizes are available for jobs where precision is not optional. We cut and ship in one to two business days to keep your job on schedule.
Concrete Anchors
Racks, equipment pads, and seismic bracing are only as strong as their anchors. Whether you use wedge anchors, Simpson Strong-Tie Titen HD screws, or Tapcon masonry screws, Fasteners Plus has what you need to secure your equipment.
Anchor selection isn't a place to guess. Base material, embedment, and load all affect which anchor is right for the application, and any project with seismic bracing or structural requirements should be checked against manufacturer documentation, project specs, and local code. Fasteners Plus product experts can help narrow down the right anchor family for the job, but final engineering sign-off should always come from a qualified professional on the project. That's an important step for any data center construction contractor working around critical, uptime-sensitive equipment.
Structural Connections: Bolts, Nuts, and Washers
Rack assembly and structural steel connections depend on a complete, matched hardware set, the kind of detail data center general contractors can't afford to overlook. Hex bolts, A325 structural hex bolts, and carriage bolts cover the structural side, while heavy hex nuts and flat washers, sized to match, ensure every bolt and threaded rod connection is complete rather than missing the one component that makes it code-compliant.
Sealing the Building: Roof Boots & Metal Roofing Screws
Every conduit, vent, and cooling line that passes through the roof is a potential leak point, and in a data center that risk sits directly above racks of critical equipment. Fasteners Plus stocks metal roof boots, shingle roof boots, and metal roofing screws to seal those penetrations, along with sealant, and repair accessories to keep the seal watertight as infrastructure moves through the roof over the life of the building.
Data center construction runs on thousands of small decisions like these, and the right fastening and support products make the difference between a job that moves smoothly and one that stalls waiting on a missing part. Whether you're advancing data center construction on an existing site or building a data center from scratch, Fasteners Plus stocks the strut channel, fittings, threaded rod, concrete anchors, structural hardware, and roof sealing products that data center contractors and companies that build data centers rely on to keep projects on schedule. From data center design and construction through final walk-through, our team is ready to help you spec the job right and get the parts there fast.
