Frequently asked questions
Is refurbishment faster than a new build?
Yes. By using your existing building shell, we can often bypass lengthy planning and groundworks, delivering a revenue-ready facility 30–50% faster than a ground-up construction.
Do you work on live data centres?
To guarantee 100% risk mitigation, we specialise in decommissioned sites, white-space expansions, and shell-and-core upgrades. This ensures we can perform heavy structural and MEP works without any risk to active IT loads.
Can you upgrade a legacy site to support AI/High-Density racks?
Absolutely. We assess and reinforce floor loading and install modern high-efficiency cooling (such as In-Row or Liquid Cooling) to transform legacy rooms into high-density environments.
What is the expected improvement in energy efficiency (PUE)?
Replacing outdated UPS and cooling systems with modern, high-efficiency MEP infrastructure typically reduces power overheads by 20% or more. This significantly lowers long-term operational costs and carbon footprints.
Do you provide a turnkey service?
Yes. We handle everything from the initial audit and decommissioning of old equipment to the design, installation, and final commissioning of your new infrastructure.
