AccelGen™: Prefabricated Power Infrastructure for Mission-Critical Facilities

AccelGen™ is Clark Pacific’s line of prefabricated buildings and structural platforms for onsite power systems. It supports primary and backup power applications through configurations selected for the equipment and site. Owners can coordinate the supporting structure with the power strategy early in design.

AccelGen™ combines long-span structural systems for heavy equipment loads with integrated ventilation, penetrations and service access. Those features help teams plan the space, support and access that power equipment needs before construction begins.

Offsite manufacturing supports faster installation, fewer field-built interfaces and more predictable delivery. For owners adding power infrastructure across multiple phases, a prefabricated approach also provides a basis for repeatable construction.

STRUCTURAL SUPPORT FOR ONSITE POWER EQUIPMENT

LONG SPANS AND HEAVY EQUIPMENT LOADS

Generators, fuel cells, batteries and switchgear each bring different support and layout requirements. AccelGen™ uses long-span structural systems designed for heavy equipment loads, allowing the supporting structure to be planned around the selected equipment.

For owners, the benefit is a layout that considers equipment placement and service access together. Engaging the structural team during equipment planning helps establish where supports and connections belong and how the equipment will fit within the available space.

VENTILATION PENETRATIONS AND SERVICE ACCESS

AccelGen™ integrates ventilation, penetrations and service access into the infrastructure design. Coordinating those features early helps teams address airflow, utility routing and maintenance needs before structural components are manufactured.

Equipment selection should inform this coordination. A clear understanding of the supplier’s installation and service requirements gives the design team a basis for locating openings and access provisions, reducing decisions left to resolve during field installation.

TWO CONFIGURATIONS FOR DIFFERENT POWER STRATEGIES

The configuration should follow the equipment’s operating needs. Primary power may suit an enclosure or platform; backup diesel generators commonly suit enclosed housing.

ACCELGEN™ ENCLOSURE FOR PROTECTED EQUIPMENT

AccelGen™ Enclosure provides a building-like environment where weather protection, acoustic control, fire separation or secure access are needed. Structure, enclosure and ventilation openings are coordinated for the application.

ACCELGEN™ PLATFORM FOR OPEN OR VENTILATED EQUIPMENT

AccelGen™ Platform provides heavy-load structural support for equipment that operates with ambient airflow. Direct access and coordinated electrical interfaces support equipment installation and maintenance. Screening or fencing can address security needs.

Start by identifying the equipment’s environmental and access requirements, then evaluate the configuration with the project team. A building and an open platform solve different operating conditions; neither should be selected on construction schedule alone.

PREFABRICATION THAT SUPPORTS THE INSTALLATION PLAN

The supporting infrastructure and equipment delivery need to meet at the right point in the schedule. Clark Pacific’s offsite manufacturing approach allows structural work to progress in parallel with site and foundation activities, reducing the amount of sequential construction required onsite.

Engineering components before production and planning their delivery sequence helps teams coordinate installation readiness. Early design decisions are especially valuable when the project involves several equipment suppliers or phases: the structure can be planned around the agreed interfaces before work moves into the field.

REPEATABLE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR CAMPUS GROWTH

AccelGen™ is designed to scale with growing data center and other mission-critical campuses. For owners planning additional capacity, the opportunity is to establish a coordinated infrastructure approach that can inform later phases.

Review which equipment layouts and support details can repeat, and which need to change with the power strategy or site. Carrying established decisions forward gives subsequent project teams a useful starting point while retaining the engineering review needed for each installation.

For data center programs, AccelGen™ complements AccelCore™, Clark Pacific’s prefabricated structural data center solution. Planning the building and power infrastructure together helps teams coordinate structural systems, equipment interfaces and delivery sequencing across the campus.

MATERIALS AND MANUFACTURING THAT SUPPORT SUSTAINABILITY

Clark Pacific’s CARBONSHIELD® concrete replaces a portion of portland cement to reduce embodied carbon while maintaining the performance of traditional mixes. Evaluating the concrete mix alongside the structural design gives teams a way to address material impacts during planning.

Clark Pacific’s sustainable manufacturing approach also includes reclaiming concrete materials and reusing batch water. For an AccelGen™ project, confirm the applicable mix design and manufacturing scope with the team, and use project-specific environmental data to evaluate carbon-reduction goals.

PLAN YOUR POWER INFRASTRUCTURE WITH ACCELGEN™

Data centers, healthcare campuses and other facilities with critical power needs can evaluate AccelGen™ as part of their onsite energy strategy. Begin with the equipment type, power role, load requirements, airflow, protection and service access. Those inputs help determine the enclosure or platform configuration and its relationship to the rest of the site.
