XSF Truss | Last Updated: July 2026
XSF designs, engineers, and fabricates structural aluminum for data center and technology facility construction: cable tray support, structural ceiling grids, hot and cold aisle containment, pipe rack support for liquid cooling, and maintenance access platforms. Everything ships prefabricated and test-fit from our 43,000 sq ft Sulphur Springs, Texas facility, with engineering stamps available for all 50 states.
Data center projects run on fixed construction schedules with little room for on-site rework. That is the problem XSF is built to solve. Every structural aluminum assembly is fully built and test-fit before it leaves the facility, so alignment and connection issues get caught here, not on your site. Standard sizes are stocked and ready to ship. Custom fabrication is built to your project’s exact dimensions and load requirements, without the lead time of overseas manufacturing.
What XSF Builds for Data Center Construction
Structural Aluminum Cost for Data Center Construction
What drives price on a data center structural aluminum project: span, load rating, finish, custom versus stocked, and how to get an accurate number before you’re deep into a bid.
How to Spec Cable Tray Support Structures
How to define grid spacing, load rating, and mounting method for overhead cable tray support before you send a spec out for fabrication.
Aluminum vs. Steel for Data Center Overhead Structures
Where aluminum wins on weight and corrosion resistance, where steel still makes sense, and how to decide for a specific application.
Hot Aisle/Cold Aisle Containment Frame Requirements
What to specify for containment frame dimensions, mounting, and material so the frame matches your actual aisle layout instead of a catalog size.
Common Mistakes When Specifying Structural Aluminum for Data Centers
The specification errors that cause delays or rework on data center structural aluminum orders, and how to avoid them before fabrication starts.
XSF also builds pipe rack support for liquid cooling systems and maintenance access platforms for data center facilities. Dedicated pages on those are in progress.
Who This Is For
Data center general contractors and construction managers working against a fixed delivery schedule. Mechanical and electrical engineers specifying overhead infrastructure for cable, containment, or cooling.
Facility managers at hyperscale, colocation, or enterprise data centers planning maintenance access or retrofits. EPC firms sourcing structural aluminum as part of a larger build package. If your project needs overhead structure that arrives verified and ready to install, this is who XSF builds for.
Why XSF for Data Center Projects
Texas leads the country in new data center construction starts, and XSF is based in Sulphur Springs, Texas, with production capacity built for large-scale industrial work. Every assembly is fabricated by AWS certified welders and run through the same 9-step quality control process XSF has followed for over 20 years.
Engineering stamps are available for all 50 states, so out-of-state projects do not require a separate structural vendor. Powder coating in any RAL color and clear anodize are available where corrosion resistance matters, relevant near cooling infrastructure and moisture-exposed environments.
