An unprotected single point
One non-redundant component in the distribution, transfer, UPS or cooling chain can reduce the entire room to its availability level.

Data Centre Installation and Infrastructure Automation
A continuously available data centre begins with correctly engineered electrical and automation infrastructure.
For data-centre projects, our team delivers electrical and automation design, panel production, cooling and energy automation, BMS/DCIM monitoring, OT cybersecurity, testing and commissioning, coordinating specialist subcontractors where required for turnkey delivery.
Explore the solution
Availability is determined not by servers alone, but by the power, cooling and monitoring chain.
Unmeasured infrastructure
Without one monitoring layer for temperature, humidity, current, load and energy, both remaining capacity and growing risk become visible only when failure occurs.
Fragmented responsibility
When electrical, mechanical, network and security work progresses independently, system interfaces remain unresolved until commissioning.
Our own engineering first,
with end-to-end delivery where required.
Electrical and automation engineering is our core responsibility: design, panels, field installation, monitoring software, commissioning and operational support are delivered by our team. Architecture, mechanical equipment and structured cabling can be coordinated through specialist subcontractors while contract and site coordination remain with us. Your single point of contact does not change as the scope expands.

From utility intake to cabinet door,
one architecture.
Cooling behaviour affects energy consumption, while power outages determine cooling recovery. We therefore design all five layers within one control and monitoring architecture.
- 01PowerMV/LV distribution, generator transfer, UPS, cabinet feeds and power metering.
- 02CoolingCooling control, hot/cold aisle separation, free cooling, humidity, pressure and standby management.
- 03MonitoringBMS, DCIM and SCADA with alarm priorities, trends, capacity and efficiency reporting.
- 04Network and securityAutomation-network segregation, secure remote access, session recording and change monitoring.
- 05OperationsMaintenance planning, spare parts, call handling, change records and periodic review.
Build for today's load,
prepare for tomorrow's capacity.
Room and row architecture
Cabinets, row power distribution, precision cooling, aisle containment and security are engineered together. Standard building blocks accelerate expansion and reduce site integration risk.
Modular infrastructure blocks
Power, cooling and IT space can be planned as separate capacity blocks. Initial investment follows real demand while new loads are added in a controlled way without stopping operations.
Edge and micro data centres
Compact, remotely monitored installations for factories, warehouses and remote sites are protected according to dust, temperature variation, moisture and unauthorised-access risks.
Cabinet-level control
Rack-PDU metering, circuit or outlet load tracking, temperature and humidity sensing, door access and cable management make remaining capacity visible.
Not isolated equipment,
one working ecosystem.
Utility intake, distribution panels and uninterruptible power; precision cooling, cabinets, cable routes, physical security and central monitoring are parts of the same operational scenario. Design decisions consider how these components interact during normal operation, maintenance and failure conditions.
/ ENGINEERING SCOPEFrom design to commissioning,
From design to commissioning,
one chain of responsibility.
The same team designs the project, builds the panels, develops the software and commissions the site.
Electrical and automation engineering
Load analysis, single-line diagrams, short-circuit and selectivity calculations, schedules, layouts and routes.
Panel production and installation
Distribution, UPS-output and automation panels with routine tests, installation, cabling and labelling control.
Cooling and energy automation
Cooling sequencing, standby activation, free-cooling transitions and stable aisle conditions.
BMS, DCIM and SCADA
Unified environmental, energy and equipment data with alarms, trends, capacity and efficiency reporting.
OT network and access control
Network segregation and authenticated, recorded remote-maintenance access.
Testing and commissioning
FAT, SAT, integrated systems tests, outage scenarios, alarm validation and handover documentation.
Read capacity, energy and temperature
on one screen.
Power analysers, environmental sensors and equipment communications share one data model, allowing cabinet load, aisle temperature and facility efficiency to be compared on the same timeline.

Seeing an alarm is not enough;
know its impact and the next action.
Asset and inventory management
Cabinet, power-distribution, cooling and sensor assets share one inventory, keeping location, connection, maintenance and lifecycle records current.
Capacity and scenario planning
Before adding a cabinet or high-density load, its combined impact on power, cooling and physical space is assessed to identify constraints before investment.
Intelligent alarm management
Related alarms are correlated, prioritised and presented with equipment history. Response time shortens and alarm fatigue is reduced.
Change and impact analysis
Maintenance, moves and capacity changes follow recorded workflows. The effect of taking equipment offline is assessed across the power and cooling chain before work begins.
From capacity target to operation,
in six controlled steps.
- 01Requirements and capacity analysis
Cabinet count, power density, growth, availability target and acceptable downtime are defined.
- 02Design and documentation
Electrical, automation and monitoring architecture, redundancy, calculations and drawings are prepared.
- 03Procurement and manufacture
Panel production, equipment supply and subcontracted scope follow one programme and specification.
- 04Installation and integration
Installation, cabling, labelling and communications are completed through controlled checklists.
- 05Commissioning and testing
Acceptance, redundancy, transfer, alarm and integrated systems tests are executed together.
- 06Operations and improvement
Maintenance, remote support, capacity reporting and change management are activated.
Design decisions
based on recognised frameworks.
These frameworks guide design and validation; certification can be coordinated separately with the relevant bodies.
Room scale changes,
engineering discipline does not.
Enterprise data centres
