Overview

We were awarded a £15m data center project for a confidential telecommunications company. The project involved the partial demolition of the ground floor of an occupied four storey building to extend the existing structure.

The project

We carried out all demolition, construction and fit out of the new high-security data center. This included structural enhancements to the existing building with the addition of new steel decks to accommodate the heavy chillers required for three data halls. The six-month programme also included extensive strengthening of the building to secure it against ram-raiding and explosions in addition to a turnkey fit out 

package including standby power generators, cooling, new switchgear and extensive high security.
