AccelDeck™
Elevated Chiller Support System
AccelDeck™ Advantages
- Elevated support for chillers, tanks, and related cooling equipment above the building.
- Long clear spans and heavy equipment support for large cooling loads.
- Integrated accommodation for hanging-loads and pre-installed embeds for equipment attachment, screens, and guardrails.
- Factory-installed grating with clearly defined maintenance access paths.
- Improved coordination of routing, equipment zones, and platform service areas.
- Repeatable modules that support faster installation and more predictable delivery.

Supporting Next-Generation Data Centers
Customizable Grids: Beam profile and spacing accommodates most chiller models giving the owner flexibility to procure different chillers late in the manufacturing phase, even allowing for future replacements without modifying the underlying support.
Load Capacity: Standard Configuration supports chiller, tanks and other equipment with weights up to 40,000 lbs. Design can be customized to accommodate more challenging equipment configurations.
Integration: Fully compatible with Clark Pacific’s structural system, ensuring durability, longevity, and seamless integration with the overall project.
Elevated Mechanical Platform vs. At-Grade Mechanical Yard
AccelDeck™ moves chillers and primary distribution above the data center, keeping grade-level circulation, walls, and site perimeter clean. The prefabricated platform organizes routing, access, embeds, and equipment support into one repeatable system for faster, more predictable installation.
Traditional at-grade chiller yards consume valuable site area and crowd the perimeter with exposed equipment, piping, headers, and field-built steel. These systems increase trade coordination, constrain access and laydown, and reduce flexibility for generators, electrical yards, and future expansion.

Frequently Asked Questions - Clark Acceldeck™
What is AccelDeck™?
AccelDeck™ is Clark Pacific’s prefabricated mechanical platform solution for data centers and other critical facilities. It is designed to support and coordinate rooftop mechanical equipment, equipment dunnage, MEP platform zones, access areas, embeds, penetrations, grating, support points, and equipment interfaces as part of a more complete prefabricated building strategy.
Why choose AccelDeck™ instead of a field-built steel mechanical platform?
Owners choose AccelDeck™ when they want a faster, more coordinated way to support heavy mechanical and electrical equipment. Instead of designing the building first and solving platform steel, embeds, grating, penetrations, access, and equipment supports later in the field, AccelDeck™ moves those requirements into the prefabricated structural package. This helps reduce trade handoffs, field fabrication, late coordination, rework, and exposure to secondary steel scope changes.
How does AccelDeck™ improve schedule?
AccelDeck™ improves schedule by shifting mechanical platform coordination into design and fabrication. Equipment support zones, embeds, sleeves, grating, access paths, and connection points can be coordinated before components arrive on site. Once the structure is ready, platform components can be delivered and installed in a planned sequence, helping reduce delays from field layout, drilling, fit-up, and late MEP coordination.
How does AccelDeck™ integrate with AccelCore™?
AccelDeck™ can be coordinated with the AccelCore™ structural grid, enclosure, roof plan, parapet conditions, equipment zones, and MEP pathways. This allows the building structure and mechanical platform strategy to be planned together instead of treated as separate packages. The result is cleaner coordination between the core and shell, rooftop equipment, support points, penetrations, access routes, and maintenance clearances.
How does AccelDeck™ support heavy loads and future flexibility?
AccelDeck™ can be engineered for heavy mechanical loads, long-span platform layouts, and future equipment flexibility when equipment criteria are coordinated early. In the right configuration, AccelDeck™ can preserve open equipment zones, reduce the need for added field steel, support future Day 2 capacity, and provide planned pathways for maintenance, replacement, and future upgrades.
What equipment can AccelDeck™ support?
AccelDeck™ can be configured to support rooftop mechanical equipment, chillers, air handling units, fan arrays, electrical distribution equipment, cable tray routes, pipe supports, access platforms, screening elements, and related MEP infrastructure. Final equipment support is based on approved vendor data, equipment weights, point loads, vibration criteria, maintenance clearances, and project-specific structural design.
