Structural works are on-going in both data halls this week, including fireproofing and wall extensions. This will lead into the construction of our goods lift shaft, and the installation of our hung ceilings on both levels.

There aren’t a great deal of updates to illustrate with photographs this week, as heavy structural works have meant limited access to certain areas of the building. A large portion of time is also being spent on system design, such as finalisation of the cooling systems both inside the data floors and in supplementary rooms throughout the facility.

Our large exterior sign is now almost ready to be installed on the outside of our building. The backing boards are being powder coated for us, after which point the sign will be assembled in it’s final state, wired up and fitted to the outside of our facility. Our team of decorators have been hard at work again this week, completing various areas within the facility ready for installation works to commence, particularly in our Meet Me room.

This week has seen some excellent developments in technical areas of the facility. Next week will see the mezzanine floor fire proofed and readied for the running of cable management, as well as structural works in both data halls. Our exterior sign will also be ready for fixing to the side of our building.

Week 14 has seen further progress on technical areas of the facility, including the build room for the first data hall, and the meet-me / core network room. Structural works in the technical side of the facility, such as the construction of the cold plant corridor, will begin very shortly.

Our exterior sign is over 6 meters across, and is backlit with warm white LEDs. This will really make a bold statement in the local area, making our building stand out to visitors from a healthy distance.

Many areas of the new facility are now reaching completion, particularly in the ‘front of house’ expanses of the building. Apart from various finishing touches, more rooms have reached completion this week.

Progress is very solid as we move towards the Summer. The heavy technical works in the first data hall are ready to commence in earnest, with works under way in the coming weeks to build our state-of-the-art man traps and cable management systems. Our large exterior signage is due for installation in the coming weeks also.

Week 12 has seen further developments across the entire site, with advancements in the electrical intake room, as well as further amenity improvements.
