As the demand for UK data processing and AI capability accelerates, the need for modern, resilient data centres is growing just as quickly.
Fire safety remains a critical pillar in safeguarding uptime, protecting assets, and ensuring regulatory compliance.
We’ve been supporting both new developments and existing facilities and we’re continuing to expand our work within this sector with clients who are undergoing major capacity upgrades.
These projects often come with significant changes: Building layouts get reconfigured, IT loads rise, and there’s constant optimisation of white and grey space. Each element requires a robust, forward-looking fire engineering approach.
Across multiple sites, our team has been appointed to develop Stage 3 and Stage 4 Fire Strategies, supporting compliance with Building Regulations while strengthening overall asset protection.
In addition to core regulatory requirements, we ensure that fire safety measures relating to lithium-ion battery rooms and photovoltaic solar installations, which are critical for meeting sustainability targets, are fully considered from the earliest design stages.
Data centres are complex environments with a lot going on, and upgrades often mean navigating live equipment and occupied spaces. Our approach helps clients make improvements safely while keeping disruption to a minimum.
We work closely with data centre design teams throughout. This way fire safety is genuinely integrated and can be designed to adapt as needs change and essentially future-proofing designs.
