At Layer 1 Technologies, we design and implement complete UPS and backup power systems for critical facilities where continuity is non-negotiable. Our solutions ensure full protection against power failures and guarantee operational stability. We deliver turnkey installations with advanced monitoring, integration with BESS, and DCIM connectivity for real-time control and efficiency.
Large-scale UPS systems and battery banks create concentrated loads that may exceed the design capacity of building floors. According to Greek and European standards (KAN.EPE, EAK), a structural study is required when static loads exceed safe thresholds.
Indicative allowable surface loads:
Offices: 2.0–3.0 kN/m² (≈ 200–300 kg/m²)
Technical spaces: 5.0–7.5 kN/m² (≈ 500–750 kg/m²)
Industrial spaces: 7.5–10 kN/m² (≈ 750–1000 kg/m²)
A structural assessment is necessary when the combined weight of UPS and batteries exceeds 400–500 kg/m², especially in elevated floors or buildings not originally designed for heavy equipment.
The evaluation must be conducted and certified by a civil engineer and submitted with the installation file. In most cases, load distribution is improved using reinforced metallic platforms.
At Layer 1 Technologies, we design UPS systems that combine reliability, scalability, and energy efficiency. We evaluate every project based on its operational load and criticality, ensuring full continuity even under demanding conditions.
Our engineering team manages every stage — from design and power distribution to commissioning and maintenance — integrating UPS, batteries, bypass, and DCIM for total system visibility and resilience.
