Sector Overview

Delivering reliable and sustainable Data Centers for tomorrow

Data center construction is a high-growth industry in the UK, as more and more businesses and organisations seek to store, manage, and process their data in secure and reliable facilities. There are challenges associated with building data centers due to the complex nature of these facilities and associated digital infrastructure needing to be intertwined with challenging engineering works.

Glencar brings together expertise in data center construction across our team and our understanding of the UK regulatory environment to every project. Our people also understand the complex regulatory requirements of the sector, such as achieving certifications such as Uptime Institute Tier Certification.

With a focus on sustainability, reliability, and security, we are poised to play a key role in meeting the growing demand for data center construction in the UK.
