London Central Build Blog – Week 51
Much progress has been made again this week across many areas of the project, as we head towards our launch.
Next week will see many of the elements completed, along with a primary emphasis on finalising all cable runs ahead of a period of commissioning.

Cabling, termination and commissioning continues this week, as we head towards taking the site live very soon.

Cable pulling and system commissioning is now in full swing here at the London Central facility, which is a very exciting time for our entire team. Things are coming together very quickly now, and the data centre will soon have power and connectivity flowing through it as we head into a testing phase shortly thereafter.

We took delivery of our new forklift this week, which will be employed to move heavy equipment around our campus moving forwards – it will be getting a full respray and livery soon

With the final elements of the facility wide containment systems now finalised, we can run headlong into the final stage of the project, which will involve running cabling, commissioning the power and network, and final testing. With all being well we are hoping to welcome existing and pre-sale customers into the new site very soon, with absolute finalisation to follow (smaller ancillary works such as signage, finishing touches, etc).
