Reinforcement beneath your existing floor.
Add support where heavier equipment demands it. Diamond works with the existing raised-access floor to support targeted AI, GPU, and liquid-cooled deployments.
Composite structure. Steel interfaces. Support added beneath the existing floor.

Typical installation per support; access and site conditions vary.
Targeted placement
Review rack positions, equipment zones, and transportation routes.
Project-specific
Compatibility, anchorage, and allowable loads established by engineering review.
The next rack can change what your floor needs.
Heavier equipment changes the concentrated loads on the existing floor panels and stringers. Operators need a way to review and reinforce those locations without rebuilding the entire understructure.
Start with the floor you already have.
Diamond adds support beneath selected areas. The existing system and proposed equipment determine the final reinforcement layout.
Follow the support beneath the equipment.
Existing stringers
Additional support at the midspans reduces the unsupported stringer length.
Paired beams and support pad
Reinforcement beams and the pad add support beneath the floor panel.
Diamond pedestal
Four individually adjusted columns carry the reinforcement assembly down to the slab.
Example support layout. Final placement is determined for the project.
How the Diamond system installs.
Reinforce an existing raised-access floor without replacing the entire understructure. Stands are shipped flat-packed and can be assembled around existing underfloor obstructions. Custom-engineered support configurations provide floor reinforcement where utilities or other obstructions prevent standard stand placement.
The animation shows the standard assembly. Step through the sequence below, or press play to watch the installation.
A configuration for your facility.
Floor height, stringer geometry, equipment loads, and site requirements determine the right reinforcement. We review your existing system before recommending a configuration.

Detailed compatibility checklist
Floor manufacturer
Tate, Kingspan, Haworth, Raised Floor Solutions, and others, grid geometry and stringer profiles vary by manufacturer.
Grid module
Standard 24″ × 24″ grid, 600 mm metric modules, and non-standard configurations.
Floor height
Underfloor clearance affects column length, adjustability range, and lateral performance.
Stringer profile
Roll-formed, extruded, and structural stringer sections each present different bearing conditions.
Pedestal configuration
Head geometry, existing load ratings, and anchor conditions at the slab.
Slab condition
Concrete flatness, existing penetrations, slab thickness, and anchor capacity.
Existing floor rating
Concentrated load and uniform load ratings from the current understructure documentation.
Target rack weight
Populated rack weight including servers, power distribution, and rear-door cooling.
Seismic criteria
Site Sₛ value, facility risk category, and applicable code jurisdiction.
Performance for the evaluated configuration.
Equipment loads, tile limits, and column analysis loads describe different parts of the system. These published analysis figures apply to the standard evaluated configuration; project-specific review establishes final allowable loads.
Approximate, per installed unit.
Final allowable equipment loads depend on the existing raised-floor system, rack footprint, site conditions, seismic requirements, and project-specific engineering review. Values shown reflect the standard configuration analyzed in the design basis; they are not project-specific design criteria.
