Data Centres

Our reliance on data is increasing exponentially. With so many aspects of our economic, commercial and social lives now online, data centres – or mission critical facilities – have become one of the most important classes of infrastructure.

Ensuring data centre resilience, efficiency and security

Fundamentally, data centres must be designed and built for resilience, efficiency and security. Achieving this against a highly regulated environment and equally competitive landscape requires deep technical and commercial expertise. 

As trusted data centre advisors, we support clients to navigate the complexity of project planning and delivery for new build facilities and the upgrade or expansion of existing data infrastructure.

Achieving a sustainable data centre

The transition to a net zero carbon industry requires a shift in the way data infrastructure is planned, designed and built. But what is a sustainable data centre, and how to achieve it?

Consenting data centres in the UK

In the heavily competitive UK market, the right data centre site can be hard to come by. Exponential growth in demand means the programme is tight, and yet even once you’ve purchased the land, there’s no guarantee. Everything depends on the planning application. So how do you increase your chances of success?
