Background
We have established a strong operational and strategic presence in the UK data centre market, delivering high-impact water treatment and cooling solutions to some of the largest operators in the country. Our portfolio spans over 20+ active UK data centre sites, representing hundreds of megawatts of IT load.
The Challenge
High water demand: Large-scale data centres consume millions of litres annually, often in water-stressed regions.
Closed system vulnerability: CHW loops are prone to scaling, corrosion, and biofouling, risking thermal performance.
Resilience pressure: Operators require redundancy for cooling and water supply to avoid catastrophic downtime.
Commissioning gaps: Construction projects often have inadequate pre-commissioning flushing, leading to early lifecycle issues. Plus, many data centres are designed without water recycling equipment.
Our Solutions
Water Treatment & Closed-Loop Cooling – Delivered real-time closed-system monitoring and chemical treatment regimes to maintain water chemistry within optimal ranges, reducing biofouling and scaling and improving heat transfer efficiency.
Containerised Packaged Water Treatment Units – Designed plug-and-play units for rapid deployment in the event of system failure or during planned upgrades, while enabling water recycling integration to reduce makeup demand.
Risk Assessment & Resilience Planning – Conducted full water resilience audits, identifying opportunities for greywater reuse and hybrid cooling designs, and developed contingency strategies for mains supply loss, incorporating borehole and recycled water sources.
Pre-Commissioning Flushing – Expanded flushing capabilities for construction-phase projects, ensuring clean, compliant systems before handover.
Value Added
Operational reliability: Zero unplanned cooling outages related to water quality during the contract period.
Water savings potential: Identified pathways to reduce water consumption by up to 40% through recycling and system optimisation.
Cost avoidance: Improved system efficiency delivered measurable energy and maintenance savings.
Market recognition: Our brand is now known across the Slough Trading Estate’s data centre operators and FM providers.
Reputation growth: Leveraged European hyperscale experience to win and manage high-profile UK projects.
