Secure Wire Partition Installation for an Ohio Server Hosting Facility
When companies need to separate secure areas inside sensitive environments, wire partition systems offer a practical solution that combines visibility, airflow, and controlled access. Midwest Material Handling recently completed a specialized wire partition installation inside a secure server hosting facility in Dublin, Ohio where multiple organizations maintained hosted equipment and infrastructure within the same building.
The project involved furnishing and installing a WireCrafters wire partition system designed to separate customer server areas inside an active data environment. In addition to the wire partition system itself, the project also included a secured entry opening with a magnetic door lock assembly to support controlled access into the partitioned area.
Unlike a traditional warehouse installation, this project required extensive coordination, material handling, and installation flexibility due to the highly controlled nature of the facility.
While Midwest Material Handling is widely known for supplying warehouse racking and industrial storage systems in Ohio, the company also furnishes and installs specialized wire partition systems for secure commercial and industrial environments.
Working Inside a Live Server Environment
The fourth-floor server room installation took place inside a secure commercial facility in Dublin, Ohio where maintaining airflow and protecting active infrastructure were critical throughout the project.
The server room featured a raised access flooring system with perforated floor panels that allowed cooled air to circulate upward into the server equipment below. Because the facility remained active throughout the installation process, protecting the cooling system and surrounding equipment became a major priority during the project.
Installing the wire partition posts required drilling through the raised flooring system. However, drilling directly inside the server room could have introduced metal shavings and debris into the cooling airflow system beneath the floor.
To avoid contamination concerns, our crew carefully removed individual 24″ x 24″ perforated floor panels and transported them outside the building for drilling. Once the holes were completed, the panels were brought back into the facility and reinstalled before the partition posts were secured in place.
The process added significant labor and coordination to the installation, but it allowed the project to move forward without disrupting the facility’s sensitive operating environment.
Full Material Handling and Installation Coordination
This installation also required a level of onsite logistical support that extended well beyond a typical wire partition project.
Due to the security-sensitive nature of the facility, the customer requested that Midwest Material Handling handle the unloading and material movement process entirely. One of our installers remained onsite at the loading dock awaiting the scheduled LTL shipment containing the WireCrafters partition components.
Once the shipment arrived, our crew unloaded the delivery using our own forklift equipment and mobilized all materials throughout the facility. The wire partition components were then transported up to the fourth-floor server room installation area where staging and installation took place.
By handling the unloading, transportation, staging, and installation internally, the customer’s staff was able to remain focused on facility operations while our crew managed the project from start to finish.
Wire Partition Security Features and Access Control Options
Wire partition systems are commonly used in server rooms, colocation environments, and technology facilities because they provide physical separation while still allowing airflow, visibility, and light transmission throughout the space.
Unlike solid walls, wire partitions help maintain airflow circulation which is especially important in environments that rely on controlled cooling systems.
Wire partition systems can also be configured with a variety of security and access control options including:
- Hinged access doors
- Sliding security doors
- Magnetic door locks
- Card reader integration
- Electronic access control hardware
- Ceiling panels and secured enclosures
- Custom partition layouts
For this project, the secured opening was designed to accommodate a magnetic locking system furnished by Midwest Material Handling while a separate security contractor completed the final wiring and access control integration.
Installation Flexibility for Specialized Commercial Environments
Every facility presents different installation challenges. While some projects involve traditional warehouse environments, others require coordination inside operating manufacturing facilities, server rooms, healthcare buildings, or high-security commercial spaces.
Midwest Material Handling regularly works with customers to coordinate equipment installations around operational requirements, delivery schedules, security procedures, and facility access limitations.
Whether the project requires after-hours installation, specialized unloading coordination, material staging, or careful work inside sensitive operating environments, our team can help manage the process from delivery through final installation.
Due to the secure nature of this facility, photography inside the server environment was not permitted. However, the completed installation provided separated secured areas for hosted customers while maintaining compatibility with the facility’s airflow and cooling system design.
