Metal fabrication for data center equipment.

A data center needs the right parts in the right places. For an equipment builder, that starts long before a system reaches the site. The frame must fit the pump. The panel must clear the harness. The support must meet the approved layout. A small detail on a drawing can set the work for the whole assembly.

Bring a released drawing or a package ready for review. Tell us which dimensions control the fit, what finish the part needs, and how you plan to receive it. We focus on the fabricated share of cooling and power equipment. That includes sheet metal parts, frames, weldments and assemblies built to your design.

Data Center Metalworks draws on 49 years of parts manufacturing and distribution experience in 2026. That heritage began in 1977, when Richard and Verne Fitzgerald founded SEES Inc., Southern Elevator and Electric Supply. The Fitzgerald family business grew by making and supplying parts for elevator OEMs and contractors. We apply that manufacturing background to drawing defined parts for data center cooling and power equipment.

SEES product lines include fixtures, doors, light curtains, inspection stations, pushbutton assemblies, and engraved and braille signage. They provide evidence of sheet metal, machining, finishing, engraving and assembly work. That experience informs how we review a frame, enclosure or support. Your drawing and quality requirements define the work and the approval needed for each new application.

Make starts with the part. CNC machining, sheet metal cutting and forming, welding, and fabrication provide different ways to achieve its geometry. The drawing review should identify which steps the part needs, how they relate and which features must be checked. Keep the material, dimensions and finish tied to that route.

Integrate looks beyond the single piece. Electromechanical assembly connects metalwork, purchased parts, wire and hardware. Interfaces, component fit and drawing revisions belong in the conversation from the start. Supply adds the industrial components defined by the bill of materials. Their exact identity, ratings and approvals need the same care as the custom metalwork.

For cooling equipment, the scope starts with CDU frames and skids, pump mounts, manifold brackets, drip pans, guards and panels. Cooling plant work can include casings and plenums. These are fabricated parts for the equipment builder to define and approve. Fluid circuit design and coolant compatibility remain separate technical requirements.

For power equipment, the offer includes switchgear and generator enclosures, power skid frames, cable tray supports and busway supports. Custom racks and hot aisle containment panels serve the wider equipment layout. Use the product pages to prepare a drawing package. Each page explains the fit, finish and approval details to resolve before an order.

Our Pompano Beach, Florida plant has a Mazak laser, CNC press brakes, a robotic welder, Mazak and Mori Seiki mill-turn equipment, mild steel tank welding, stainless TIG and electromechanical assembly. Fort Lauderdale handles parts supply. The required processes and part details determine the manufacturing route that Rich reviews for the quote.

Irving, Texas has an Amada 3.5 kW CO2 laser, an Accupress brake, MIG welding and airless spray paint. The equipment mix differs by plant. Tell us your preferred plant and receiving location. Rich Fitzgerald reviews production and sourcing so the quoted route can reflect the work required. An address does not establish open machine hours or a shipping date.

SEES Inc. holds ISO 9001:2015 certificate US2496, valid to April 21, 2027. Its quality system scope is "design, manufacture, distribution and supply of elevator and escalator parts". The certificate belongs to SEES Inc. and supports the manufacturing heritage behind our offer. It is not a separate Data Center Metalworks certificate or data center product certification.

Ask us about powder coat, AWS D1.1 welder certification and the inspection needs of your design. These items require confirmation. Do not infer an enclosure rating or a weld qualification from the equipment list. Include the required standard, edition, reports and acceptance process with the RFQ so they can be reviewed before a quote is accepted.

The lead time page separates the main part families and finishing steps. Every unconfirmed value is marked "TBD, confirm with Rich". Numbers are confirmed monthly before they are published. A blank commitment is more useful than a date built on assumptions.

Share the first article date, first production date and later release dates as separate needs. A single final deadline can hide what you need for a fit check or equipment build. Quantity, material, finish, inspection and the completeness of the drawing package all belong in that schedule review. The capacity page gives the same clear view by plant and process.

The screened component directory includes 1,720 catalog SKUs as of November 2026. Hundreds of these catalog lines showed stock in that snapshot, including Texas stock. These are SKU and product line counts, not unit quantities or live inventory. Confirm the exact item and current availability when requesting a quote.

Fabrication remains the lead offer. The component directory adds industrial electrical, raceway and site support items to the parts conversation. Use the DCM part number and full manufacturer reference to define the request, then check the supplied configuration against your specification.

Kevin Leonard handles business development and accounts. Rich Fitzgerald handles production and sourcing. Use the RFQ form to connect the commercial request to the technical package. Include your company, contact details, part family, quantity and target date.

If you also need catalog components, add their exact DCM part numbers and manufacturer references. The component directory is a starting point for a quote, not a live stock promise. Send the drawing or specification that controls the choice. A complete request makes it easier to separate the metalwork, purchased parts, approval steps and delivery terms.
