Structural fire protection in data centers
Fire protection means safety at the highest level– and is a critical factor in the reliable operation of modern data centers. With our innovative structural fire protection solutions, we offer comprehensive protection against fire, smoke and heat while ensuring the unrestricted functionality and availability of your IT infrastructure. In this way, we lay the foundation for consistently trouble-free IT operations.
Fire compartmentation
To effectively prevent the spread of fire in data centers or server rooms and minimize potential damage, we rely on high-quality containment systems for cables, cable trays, busways, piping, and technical installations. With our in-house developed systems as well as standard fire protection systems from established manufacturers, we offer tested and certified solutions that meet the highest safety standards and are optimally tailored to the requirements of modern data centers.
We install fire barriers of all types and offer practical solutions for complex installation scenarios as well as customized special solutions. Fire protection blocks are a popular choice, particularly in data centers, due to their fiber-free properties, quick installation, and high compatibility with various media. Thanks to our in-house engineering department and proprietary product developments, we can assess complex compartmentalization scenarios even on short notice and, if necessary, implement customized, approval-ready solutions professionally and transparently.
Our structural fire protection services for data centers:
- Professional installation of cable-, pipe- and combination fire barriers
- Fire-resistant blocks for flexible and fiber-free fire barrier solutions
- Soft fire barriers with high filling capacity for cable and pipe penetrations
- Mortar fire barriers for durable and pressure-resistant seals
- Cable boxes for secure fire barriers and quick installation
Sealing solutions for roof penetrations
Soundproof seals made of fire-resistant blocks
- Custom solutions for outdoor cable seals (e.g., ducts, bandages, etc.)
- Fire-resistant joints for the secure separation of structural joints
- Sealing systems for oxygen-reduced or overpressure areas, such as in gas fire suppression systems
Fire protection ducts and drywall systems
To effectively protect escape and rescue routes from fire and smoke while ensuring continued functionality, we install structural fire protection solutions in data centers and server rooms, such as certified fire protection duct systems and drywall constructions.
These solutions reliably protect cable runs and adjacent areas from heat exposure, smoke development, and direct fire spread. Our systems include, among other things, I- and E-class fire protection ducts for electrical cables, pressure relief ducts for ventilation systems, and custom drywall constructions for creating fire compartments.
In addition, we install busbar enclosures in E90 design and cable bandages for custom solutions in complex technical environments. We are involved as early as the planning phase to identify potential conflicts at an early stage and develop practical solutions – tailored to the operational and structural conditions on-site.

Digital fire protection documentation in the data center
Comprehensive and legally compliant fire protection documentation in the data center is essential for transparently presenting the measures taken and demonstrating compliance with all regulations. We offer practical, digital solutions for recording, tracking, and managing structural fire protection measures in the data center – comprehensive, efficient, and accessible at any time. With our web-based documentation platform and app, we enable the recording of measures in real time, including photo documentation, location tracking, and individual role assignment. The integrated overview of the processing status ensures transparency and smooth communication among all parties involved – from the construction site to project management.
Our services in fire protection documentation for data centers:
- Creation and maintenance of technical fire protection documentation
- Digital live monitoring and real-time recording of measures
- Creation of fire compartment registers for comprehensive documentation
- Custom role assignments for clear accountability
- Integration of all relevant information and additional project documents
- Numerous additional features for visualization, tracking and communication
Our fire protection planning services
Effective fire protection always begins with careful planning. Our experts will assist you in developing and implementing a comprehensive fire protection plan for data centers with server rooms – from the initial analysis and concept development through to coordination with regulatory authorities and inspection experts. In doing so, we take into account all structural, technical, and organizational requirements, thereby laying the foundation for safe and code-compliant operations.
Services in this area are provided by our subsidiary Endreß Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH – the company is part of the svt Group and specializes in the development and implementation of customized fire protection solutions.
Fire protection design
Every data center has unique fire protection requirements – depending on its use, technical infrastructure, and building structure. Based on this, we develop customized, protection-goal-oriented concepts that optimally combine structural, technical, and organizational measures. This ensures that the specific conditions of your data center are taken into account and that all legal requirements are fully met.
Our services in fire protection planning for data centers:
- Development of fire protection concepts and documentation for new and existing buildings
- Conducting assessments of the current condition to document the structural status of the building
- Risk analyses and simulation-based planning to determine appropriate protective measures
- Support in obtaining ZiE (approval on a case-by-case basis) and vBG (applicable building products/building types)
- Coordination with authorities, inspection experts, and involved specialist planners
Fire protection monitoring of buildings
Implementing planned fire protection measures requires not only technical expertise but also continuous monitoring during both the construction and operational phases. Our specialist planners provide ongoing support throughout your project and offer advice to both the client and the contractors. The goal is to ensure that all fire protection measures in the data center are implemented in accordance with standards – through to successful inspection and commissioning.
Our services in fire protection monitoring for commercial properties:
- On-site consultation for the client and all involved trades
- Regular site inspections to review the work performed
- Documentation of defects and specific recommendations for their rectification
- Verification of compliance with standards by comparing the work to the plans and permits
- Technical support during final inspections and fire protection tests
Organizational fire protection for data centers
In addition to structural and technical measures, an effective organizational fire protection plan is crucial for operational safety. We assist in developing structured procedures, provide legally compliant documentation, and train your staff on how to comply with fire protection regulations. This ensures that emergencies remain manageable – clear, understandable, and practical.
