Nordic Data Center Week 2026
Where Data Centre Schedules Are Made
Discover how structural decisions affect data centre schedules, quality and project execution.
As part of Nordic Data Center Week 2026, Nordec is hosting a focused Structural Day for data centre designers, consultants and developers at its Peräseinäjoki production unit in Finland.
Follow the journey from structural design to sourcing, production and installation readiness, and see first-hand how early decisions influence production and site execution.
22 September 2026 | Nordec Peräseinäjoki, Finland | Limited number of places available
Why attend
Fast-track data centre schedules are affected by decisions made long before installation begins.
This event brings design, production, quality and sourcing perspectives together to show how structural choices, material availability and information flow can support more predictable project execution.
You will gain practical insight into:
- how early structural decisions affect project schedules
- how design information moves into production
- how steel frame quality is managed throughout fabrication
- how material availability can influence design and procurement
- where cooperation between designers, developers and suppliers can reduce delays and project risk
