Data center engineering in United Kingdom.
London's Slough and Docklands clusters plus Manchester and Edinburgh give a mature colocation market. The distinctive constraint is the CDM regime: as soon as work is construction, principal-contractor duties and written method statements apply, and operators audit for them.

Local delivery context
The details that matter on site.
Regulatory context
- UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, supervised by the ICO
- NIS Regulations 2018 for operators of essential services
- FCA operational resilience rules for financial-services tenants
Safety & site access
- CDM Regulations 2015 — principal contractor duties, RAMS, written method statements
- CSCS or ECS cards for site personnel
- Permit-to-work and lockout/tagout 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, signed NDA and often a basic DBS check for sites with public-sector tenants. Slough and Docklands facilities typically need 24–48 hours notice for escorted access.
London and Manchester hubs give six-hour mobilisation across England and Wales. Change advisory boards usually sit weekly, so submit early.
Working languages: English.
Power & testing
Verify, then hand over.
230 V single-phase, 400 V three-phase, 50 Hz. IEC 60320 C13 and C19; BS 1363 on auxiliary circuits.
IEC 61935-1 certification, fibre to IEC 61280-4-2 with OTDR traces. Reports written for UK operator sign-off.
Local questions
Before you build in United Kingdom.
Do you produce RAMS for CDM compliance?
Yes. Every UK job ships with risk assessments and a written method statement, and we will work as principal contractor or as a contractor under your principal contractor, whichever the project structure requires.
Are your engineers CSCS or ECS carded?
Engineers working on construction-classified sites hold the appropriate ECS card. We provide card details in advance for site registration.
Can you support FCA operational resilience requirements?
We can supply the change records, test evidence and handover documentation that a financial-services tenant needs for its important business services evidence. We do not provide compliance advice.
