Fast Delivery with Off-Site Construction

BladeRoom’s off-site construction methods enable us to deliver large-scale hyperscale data centres faster than traditional methods. By pre-building key components in a controlled environment, we ensure precision, quality, and speed, reducing time-to-market.

Off-Site Advantages

Rapid Deployment

BladeRoom’s productising off-site construction approach enables faster delivery, manufacturing them 'just-in-time' at our dedicated assembly facilities, allowing your data centre to become operational in significantly less time.

Guaranteed Delivery

Our 'product mentality' provides programme and cost certainty through a fixed price delivery. We guarantee supply with controlled pricing. No surprises.

Quality Control

Every element is rigorously tested for quality and performance before installation.

Building Greener

We track our waste for Hyperscale projects. In contrast to typical construction, where as much as 30% of all materials delivered can end up as waste, we achieve as little 0.131%.

Everything In-House

We have ownership of design, procurement, manufacture, installation, fit out, intellectual property, mechanical, BMSA Building Management System (BMS) is an integrated platform used to monitor and control critical facility systems, such as HVAC, power, lighting, and fire safety.

Hyperscale Project Success

BladeRoom deliver large-scale hyperscale data centres globally from our manufacturing campuses in the UK and US, providing our clients with the infrastructure needed to scale their digital capabilities. Two notable examples are the Union Park and Longcross Park data centre campuses in the UK.

Union Park

The Union Park Data Centre is one of the largest hyperscale projects in the UK, developed in partnership with Ark Data Centres. BladeRoom was responsible for delivering high-performance, next-generation infrastructure capable of supporting the growing needs of tenants.

Longcross Park

The Longcross Park data centre campus, developed by BladeRoom for Ark Data Centres, is another example of a successful hyperscale deployment. This 48-megawatt campus is built with state-of-the-art cooling and power redundancy systems.
