Private Data Centre, Netherlands

Dornan was engaged to undertake the logistics management, installation, testing and commissioning of the full mechanical, sprinkler, electrical and telecoms packages in a 17.6MW greenfield data centre and administration block. We also carried out the complete fibre optic & copper cabling infrastructure. We initially completed a fully-coordinated BIM 3D model, allowing a seamless construction phase between all CSA and service elements within the building. This was complemented by a full offsite modular build which yielded significant cost savings.

Data Centre, Netherlands

This is a new-build development of data centres and support facilities over five phases and 160,000m². It is a major long-term project for Dornan, which is responsible for designing and installing, among other elements, air handling units, static UPS, generators, MV and LV switchgear, as well as fire detection and suppression systems.
