Colocation data centres continue to evolve to offer customised solutions with minimum cost and complexity. Meanwhile, the tech titans are investing in hyperscale facilities – sometimes housing thousands and thousands of servers to meet the demands of the digital era. We are actively working on including colo-developer, hyperscale developer and owner occupier in France, Netherlands, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Ireland and UK. THE POWER BEHIND DATA CENTRE DESIGN Globally, data centres consume around 2% of the world’s energy – and that could rise to 8% based on current trends. With cooling responsible for up to 40% of data centre energy consumption, bleeding-edge design brings together state-of-the-art high-density servers with revolutionary cooling systems. Other operators are turning to artificial intelligence or 100% renewable energy to power their processors. We support smart, sustainable solutions in data centres as these ultimately help customers cut costs, energy consumption and carbon emissions. SAFETY, SECURITY AND SCALE The data centre is a unique asset class – one where significant investments go into mechanical and electrical infrastructure and where capital expenditure can account for 60% of the development cost. We provide cost planning, estimating, value engineering and tendering services to help our clients balance the immediate challenges of safety, security, efficiency and cost with a lens on the long term so they can adapt and scale over time.
