Data Centres
KIPO provide specialist services to the data centre industry employing engineers with a high level of technical knowledge focused on mission critical services, continuity of power supply and service to the end customer.
Our skilled data centre engineers are committed to delivering the latest technical solutions, whilst also understanding the importance of low carbon data centre design. We deliver workable solutions for customers through detailed reports and visual, non-intrusive MEP health checks.
We understand that experience and attention to detail are vital to the success of each mission critical project. That is why we are trusted by our clients to bring extensive knowledge and experience to deliver data centre designs and specialist services for numerous projects covering Europe, the US and Asia.
Our reputation for producing world class, robust and sustainable designs, are a testament to our commitment in providing forward thinking solutions that are specific to your mission critical requirements.
Containerised Solutions for Data Centres
Our containerised solutions are specifically designed to house plant and equipment for Data Centres.
For reasons of modularity containers are used for two purposes:
To standardise a container and its plant contents to the particular needs of the Data Centre and day
To add on further containers once the Data Centre grows to its final day scheme.
Standardisation within reasonable constraints is the key objective given that no two Data Centres are the same and few countries adopt the same standards.
Covering factors which would change the contents of the container can comprise:
Particularising the size and duty of the plant within the container, to the unique Data Hall requirements
Designing the contents of the container particular to the Data Centre
Adopting the correct local national standards, to the county of destination for the Container
Ensuring the containers plant is design to retro-fit and be modularised considering the Data Centres future growth when applicable
And, to ensure the container fits the allocated space for the Data Centre and that is contents are fit for purpose for that space.
