Secure raised floor solutions
for your Data Center
The right floor should be strong and
modular
Bergvik, a world-renowned raised floor
supplier, offers a series of raised flooring
systems engineered for use in all seismic
zones. Adapted to accommodate all types of
equipment and designed with room to
expand, the Iso Floor is a flexible, secure
and cost competitive solution for your Data
Center flooring needs.
Proven mechanical strength
Bergvik has developed and adapted a series of
three different raised floor designs to
accommodate all seismic zones. To further
verify all structural calculations, we submit the
floor and bracing structures to dynamic full-
scale laboratory tests in accordance with NEBS
GR-63 and NEBS GR-2930.

Secure any OEM equipment in seismic
zones
The Bergvik raised floor product package
also offers secure solutions for any OEM
equipment installed in the data center.
Bergvik will provide a design proposal
within 3-4 weeks following receipt of
equipment drawings. After the order is
approved, we can ship the custom seismic
frames within four to six weeks.

Conventional floors allow for
25% less equipment and are
more difficult to service or
supplement
As illustrated in these two photos, server racks
mounted on conventional raised floors or
pedestal floors use a 600 x 600 mm panel
configuration with 1200 mm service aisles
between equipment lineups.
This type of conventional raised flooring has
only one panel configuration, which limit the
number of server racks and UPS cabinets that
can fit into the data center foot print.
Service aisle panels closest to the server racks
are not removable, as shown in the lower
photo. This makes it difficult to service and
supplement the racks and cabinets with cables
and wires during both the initial installation and
for future expansions.
6
Conventional floors can sometimes not be
strong enough to support heavy equipment
in UPS/Power - and Rectifier rooms etc.
As shown in the illustration, conventional
raised floors or pedestal floors using a
600x600 mm panel and pedestal
configuration does not have the lateral
stability for high Finish Floor Height (FFH)
or the mechanical strength to support
heavy equipment.
In order to secure heavy equipment,
special steel frames can be designed and
ordered separately for the raised floor by
the customers, which minimizes flexibility,
is time consuming and very expensive.
.
7
Using a 900 mm wide
service aisle versus a 1200
mm aisle increases the
number of server racks to
fit in the data center by up
to 25%.
Panels for all types of
server racks, power and
UPS cabinets can be made
to size.

Maximum cooling of Blade Servers can be
provided by special Bergvik solutions
The modular sub-
structure design allows
for mounting of
specially designed air
grille panels,
providing maximum
cooling in the cold
aisles.
The airgrille panels
comes with or without
damper and in sizes:
600x600 mm and
800x600 mm. Or
custom made sizes.

Server racks and UPS cabinets can be bolted
directly to the Iso Floor sub-structure

1200mm span between all pedestal supports
provides twice the space for cabling
Congestion is a problem
under standard raised
floors having a 600 mm
center between all
pedestals. This makes it
difficult to use cable
trays to separate power
cables from fiber cables,
etc.
The modular Iso Floor
design allows for 1200
mm span between all
pedestals at UDL
10kN/m2. Higher
loading will of course
require pedestals to be
closer together.

Bergviks floor design for NEBS
Zone 1 2 offers the same
stable construction as our base
model but with additional
reinforcements to
accommodate a higher risk of
seismic activity.
Strengthened with a 60 x 60
mm pedestal anchored to the
sub-floor with steel plate
connections between primary
and secondary steel sections,
the Iso Floor model fulfills the
requirements for seismic
reliability according to NEBS.
This floor has passed both
calculated stress as well as
dynamic full-scale tests in
accordance with NEBS GR-63
and NEBS GR-2930.

Reinforced for added strength
14
The Bergvik raised floor designed
for NEBS Zone 3-4 is the most
secure product on the market
today. The addition of solid
bracing frames anchored to the
concrete sub-floor provides the
strength and stability to withstand
severe seismic activity.
This Bergvik raised floor system
fulfills all the requirements for
seismic reliability according to
NEBS. The frames have passed
both calculated stress as well as
dynamic full-scale tests in
accordance with NEBS GR-63 and
NEBS GR-2930.
Floor Heights available in 350 to
910 mm. Seismic bracing frames
integrated with the raised floor
have pre-torqued cross bracing
rods, therefore no tightening is
needed following an earthquake.

Suitable for most applications, the standard
panel consists of a 38 mm high density HD
particleboard, moisture-resistant quality
V313. The bottom side is laminated with
aluminum. Standard panels weigh only 10
kg. Flame spread is 20 (class 1) in
accordance with ASTM E84 / NFPA 266 / UL
723.
As an option we offer a high density, all
non-combustible calcium sulphate panel if
there are limitations on the amount of
combustible materials to be used in
accordance with e.g. local building codes.

High loads on standard panel with minimum
permanent deflection due to very high e-module
Concentrated Load in aisle:
P = 680 kg gives 4.7 mm temporary
deflection
P = 908 kg gives 6.1 mm temporary
deflection
Permanent deflection after 5000 times =
0.1 mm.
Rolling Load, CISCA Test:
P = 272 kg using a 150 mm diam x 38 mm
wide wheel.
Permanent deflection after 10000 passes =
0.2 mm.

When floor panels are
removed and other
surrounding panels shift
(which will happen), the
unique tapered panel edge
design of the Iso Floor allows
the removed panels to self
adjust and go back flush to
prevent tripping.
The thin edge trim gives the
floor an aesthetically pleasing
appearance by making the
panel edges virtually
disappear into the flooring
surface, while fully protecting
the surface finish edge.

Features and Benefits:
Iso Floor provide high lateral stability, meaning all panels can be
removed without the risk of the floor shifting. The free-standing, high
stability floor substructure doesnt need walls for support, allowing you to
only plan for the space needed today, with room to expand.
25%more room for equipment in your Network Center will save
money on the real estate investment.
Up to 70% less pedestal supports than conventional raised floors will
provide lots of space for wiring, cable ladders etc.
Removal of all floor panels in equipment aisles are now possible
since Bergvik produce custom size panels to your specification.
Open bottom access and/or perforated aisle panels allows for
maximum cooling of Server racks. Airflow grilles with built-in fans directly
in front of server racks can also be provided as an option.
Floor panel meets NFPA 75 chapter 5.4.2 for fire resistance. Flame
spread is 20 (class 1). Test report can be provided upon request.
The all-bolted floor structure is sufficiently grounded by only two (2)
grounding wires attached in opposite corners of the floor mechanics.
A 5 year warranty is what you can expect.
