Project Announcement: New 132kV Data Centre Grid Connection
We've been appointed as principal contractor to deliver the end-to-end 132kV infrastructure connection for a major new data centre in the capital.
Laying 1km of high-voltage route through central London means overcoming tight physical constraints. In combination with trenching across complex obstacles, the project requires two separate horizontal directional drills (HDDs): one beneath a canal and another at a major road crossing.
Behind the scenes, the engineering complexity is just as high. Delivering maximum uptime for a data centre demands a fully redundant supply, meaning two primary circuits, dual transformers, and twin sets of foundations. From complex grid studies and long-lead plant procurement through to managing canal consents and street works permits, our in-house teams are managing every stage of the build right through to final energisation. ⚡
