EXPERIENCE IN DATA & TECHNOLOGY sectors
• Data Centres, Comms rooms & data facilities.
• Disaster Recovery / Business Continuity Centres.
• Modular expansions
• Data Hall fit-out (M&E)
• Whitespace Extension (stand alone plant)
• Phased cooling system refurbishment (Plant replacement)
• Entrance lobbies, office and staff welfare facilities
(with pressure regimes as appropriate)
The Data Centre sector is experiencing huge growth and these facilities are dependent on the smooth and continuous running of the building services for their successful operation, particularly power supply and cooling.
The design of the M&E plant ought to consider the initial installation, ongoing operation and end of life replacement as well as provision for mid-life upgrades as business needs and industry standards change. Reliability and resilience have always been key factors, but now versatility, energy efficiency, sustainability and ambition for carbon neutrality are rising up the design agenda.
We can bring value to your project with our holistic approach allowing us to deliver a truly optimised design for your facility, whether it’s a new build with consideration for how we deliver Day 1 provisions and future expansion. Or dealing with the challenge of refurbishments; replacing inefficient and aging plant, keeping the existing facilities live, while introducing carbon conscious strategies yet continuing to cater for the needs of retained legacy equipment.
