Data Centers

Reliable, speed-to-market solutions for industrial-scale data centers

Data centers power the digital transformation of all industries. But power access constraints and a growing demand for compute capacity make it harder to build quickly, sustainably and at scale.

We help developers, owners and operators move faster by securing the right sites and reliable power sources, streamlining approvals and integrating cooling and critical infrastructure. We focus on balancing speed-to-market, sustainability, and cost-efficiency from planning to construction.

Delivering future-ready data centers

Data centers need power that’s resilient and can be delivered quickly and sustainably. This means developing integrated power solutions that combine natural gas generation, renewables and decentralized hybrid energy systems.

We help design robust solutions with local battery storage and backup power to maintain uptime and reduce disruption from grid instability. Whether on-grid, off-grid or hybrid, we help you develop a power strategy that’s embedded into the engineering and delivery model to ensure scalability, optimized load management, and a readiness for future capacity demands that are in line with environmental standards.

Building a large data center needs a combination of strong engineering expertise, digital delivery and project management. We bring these capabilities together to help customers deliver reliable and sustainable facilities, even when schedules are disrupted by equipment delays, workforce shortages or changing regulations.

By using new technologies, flexible power solutions, cooling infrastructure and working closely with partners, we help customers deliver projects faster, stay on budget and prepare for the future.

No matter how complex the planning, success for greenfield and brownfield sites depends on social acceptance and regulatory compliance. We help customer navigate planning and environmental requirements by prioritizing early engagement, open communication and sustainable practices.

This helps to gain support, streamline approvals and avoid delays, ultimately saving time and ensuring smooth project delivery.

What is a data center?
A data center is the heart of modern digital operations – powering cloud services, AI and enterprise IT while ensuring security, reliability and scalability.

What is the role of a data center?
It processes and stores massive data, enables high-speed connectivity, and ensures uptime through redundancy and security compliance.

Why are data centers important?
They underpin the digital economy, enabling AI, IoT and cloud ecosystems, and provide scalable infrastructure for global growth.

Why are AI workloads reshaping data center design?
AI racks exceed 100 kW, requiring more sophisticated cooling solutions and robust power strategies focusing on energy efficiency and sustainability.

How do we address power constraints?
There are various solutions, depending location, constraints and needs to overcome challenges in power access.

What sustainability measures are critical? 
Overall Power Use Efficiency (PUE) and Water Use Efficiency (WUE), understanding of CO2 footprint and roadmap to net zero.

Can modular construction really reduce timelines?
Yes, prefabricated modules enable parallel workstreams, cutting schedules nearly in half.

What is the role of AI in building a data center?
AI accelerates design and operations by optimizing layouts, predicting energy loads and automating workflows. It also enables AIOps for predictive maintenance and ‘lights-out’ management (LOM), reducing downtime and costs.
