Databank ATL 5Data Center

Location:

Atlanta, GA

Client:

Brasfield & Gorrie

Background

In 2024, DataBank began construction of its South Fulton Campus, including several data centers and a 180MW on-site substation. The first phase involved building ATL 5, the on-site substation, on a sloped site requiring stable excavation support.

Schnabel’s Solution

Schnabel provided permanent excavation support by cutting into the slope and installing a site wall using over 300 permanent soil nails and more than 9,000 square feet of shotcrete bump wall. During construction, Schnabel addressed large subsurface boulders and voids behind the wall by increasing wall thickness and applying additional shotcrete.

Results

The project was completed ahead of schedule, providing a stable platform for ongoing construction, helping multiple subcontractors stay on schedule. Schnabel’s efforts supported the early phase of the campus, contributing to economic growth, new jobs, and strengthening Atlanta’s data center hub.
