Data Centre Engineering
RWO is an established engineering partner to the UK’s fast-growing data centre sector. We provide fully integrated civil, structural and geoenvironmental engineering services — from initial site appraisal and ground investigation through to infrastructure design and construction support — for hyperscale, Tier III and next-generation data centre developments nationwide.
Our project experience includes civil, structural and geoenvironmental engineering for a hyperscale facility in Cardiff — a Tier III asset offering 90MVA across 50,400m² of floor space — and full-service engineering support for Telehouse West 2 and Project Flare at the former Ferrybridge Power Station. Our reach extends beyond the UK, with data centre engineering work spanning Scandinavia and the Middle East. Across all our data centre projects to date, we have worked on schemes totalling in excess of 8GW of capacity. We have contributed to the engineering support behind £5bn worth of new UK data centre development.
