Sectors / Data centres

Containerised and modular structures for data centre infrastructure.

Data centre programmes are tightly sequenced. Garendon aligns design, production and delivery with the equipment and site programme.

What we provide

Containerised and modular steel structures for data centre infrastructure, including plant rooms, switchgear housings, acoustic enclosures and generator canopies for standby power, and ancillary buildings. Each unit is engineered for the loads, services and security a data centre site requires.

For repeatable platforms, revision ownership and approval responsibilities are agreed in the project scope.

Project information and responsibility

Inputs, deliverables and responsibility boundaries for a data centre enclosure project
What to send usEquipment, performance and programme information

Plant layouts and loads; generator airflow, exhaust, fuel and cable data; acoustic or planning criteria; access and maintenance-removal routes; redundancy constraints; site exposure; lifting and foundations; delivery sequence; and the project standards.

Garendon deliverablesA coordinated modular steel package

The agreed scope can include frames, enclosures or plant rooms, equipment interfaces, access and lifting provisions, coating, inspection records and staged delivery documentation aligned with the site programme.

Responsibility boundaryPhysical enclosure against the approved design brief

The MEP or system designer remains responsible for equipment capacity, thermal duty, acoustic criteria, fire strategy and system resilience. Garendon develops and manufactures the structural enclosure and detailed interfaces allocated to its scope.

Inspection evidenceRecords for the agreed package

Material, dimensional, welding, specified NDT and coating records are controlled through the quality plan, with hold points and release documentation set before manufacture.

Common questions

What goes into a steel enclosure for a data centre standby generator?

An acoustic enclosure has to manage noise, cooling air, exhaust, fuel and corrosion together. The design can be developed around the generator package and customer-supplied airflow, access and acoustic criteria.

Do you supply containerised and modular structures for plant rooms?

Yes. Containerised and modular steel structures for plant rooms, generator and switchgear housings and ancillary buildings, engineered for the loads, services and security a data centre site requires.

How quickly can enclosures be delivered?

Lead time depends on size and finish. Keeping design, fabrication and coating under one coordinated programme lets us give a realistic schedule up front.
