AI may be driving data centre demand, but the infrastructure challenge extends far beyond computing. At ENGINEER MARVEX 2026, exhibitors are showing the mechanical systems that keep high-density facilities cooled, connected and protected and how those systems are evolving for faster, more efficient deployment.
Victaulic is addressing a key requirement of liquid cooling: moving cooling fluid reliably between \systems. Its TCS solution for the secondary cooling loop combines prefabricated stainless-steel piping, fittings and valves into ready-to-deploy assemblies, reducing on-site fabrication and supporting faster installation and scalability.
“For data centres, the trend is to be very fast and reliable,” said KW Pak, Regional Manager SEA, pointing to safety, scalability and shorter lead times as priorities.
Source Code Asia, meanwhile, is focused on the components that distribute and control flow within mechanical systems. Technical Sales Manager Chew Jing Kun stressed that these products cannot be considered independently.
“You cannot work with the product itself. You must have an added combination that becomes a full system.”
Completing another critical part of the infrastructure is VIC Engineering, which provides fire-suppression systems for critical electrical rooms. Business Development Manager Bernard Khong said “Fire protection is a fundamental requirement as increasingly valuable and complex data centre infrastructure expands.”
That is what makes ENGINEER MARVEX relevant to the sector. It gives developers, engineers, consultants and contractors a direct view of how the infrastructure driving data centres is changing from liquid cooling and prefabrication to more efficient mechanical systems and critical protection.
For an industry moving this quickly, knowing what is available and how the pieces work together is becoming just as important as knowing what comes next.
