Data center engineering in Portugal.
Our home market. Lisbon is a subsea landing point for the transatlantic cables and a fast-growing edge and colocation location, which means short cable routes, tight access windows in older buildings and a genuine premium on engineers who can work in Portuguese with the building's own staff.

Local delivery context
The details that matter on site.
Regulatory context
- EU GDPR, supervised locally by the CNPD
- NIS2 transposition for operators of essential and important services
- ANACOM rules where the connection touches public electronic communications networks
Safety & site access
- Portuguese occupational safety law (Lei 102/2009 framework) and site-specific induction
- Written electrical permit and lockout/tagout before any work on live distribution
The customer’s site rules and contract take precedence. Standards, access requirements and response times are confirmed for your specific facility during scoping.

Access & working windows
Plan around the facility.
Photo ID plus signed confidentiality undertaking is standard. Colocation facilities in Lisbon and Porto typically require 24 hours notice for escorted access; we hold standing access agreements with the main facilities.
Lisbon and Porto hubs give same-day response inside Portugal. Change windows are usually overnight 22:00–06:00 WET to avoid tenant impact.
Working languages: Portuguese (native), English.
Power & testing
Verify, then hand over.
230/400 V, 50 Hz. IEC 60320 C13 and C19 at the rack; Type F Schuko on auxiliary circuits.
Copper certified to IEC 61935-1, fibre to IEC 61280-4-2 with OLTS and an OTDR trace for every link. Native XML plus a signed PDF per outlet.
Local questions
Before you build in Portugal.
Do your engineers work in Portuguese with our building staff?
Yes. Portugal is our headquarters market and the default working language on site is Portuguese, with English used for the technical record and the handover pack.
How quickly can you be on site in Lisbon or Porto?
Four hours is our standard mobilisation target for mainland Portugal, from our Lisbon and Porto hubs. Emergency smart-hands calls are typically attended inside two hours in the Lisbon metro area.
Can you handle subsea cable landing station work?
We support landing-station operators with rack build-out, structured cabling and commissioning inside the station. Wet plant and jointing are outside our scope and we will say so rather than subcontract silently.
