Data Centre Enablement
International Data Centre Developer
Program overview OCU is supporting a leading global digital infrastructure provider, to deliver essential pre-enablement works for their new 70MVA data centre. Utilising our full scope of operational capabilities and broad experience in high-voltage network build and grid connectivity, this strategic program marks an important milestone in our expanding footprint within the rapidly growing data centre market.
Challenge To complete the infrastructure
Solution OCU’s integrated approach brings proven expertise in electrical infrastructure design, installation, and commissioning. Our experienced teams will deliver meticulous planning and execution of engineering works, including underground cabling and substation construction. Utilising effective project management methodologies and strong stakeholder liaison, OCU will ensure compliance with stringent local regulations and building codes, minimising disruptions and enabling timely project completion. Our wider turnkey services span horizontal directional drilling, substation construction, high-voltage grid connections, fibre network deployment, and water infrastructure installation; the knowledge and implementation of many of these services underpin the delivery for our client. This co-ordinated approach ensures that all critical pre-enablement works are efficiently delivered by a single expert partner, significantly reducing risk and accelerating development timelines.
Outcome This data centre pre-enablement program solidifies OCU’s position as a trusted partner in delivering critical infrastructure solutions for our client. By successfully executing this work to enable the Data Centre, we will support our client’s ambitions to meet increasing global demand for secure, scalable, and sustainable digital infrastructure, reinforcing our commitment to innovation, reliability, and long-term growth. OCU’s cross-functional capabilities and integrated service delivery model position OCU Group uniquely in the rapidly expanding data centre infrastructure market. By combining energy transition, utilities and digital infrastructure expertise into one comprehensive package, we streamline project execution, reduce overall risk, and enable faster market entry for new data centre developments.
essential for hyperscale data centres, reliably and on schedule, the program requires expert integration into existing high-voltage infrastructure, including significant upgrades to assets. The delivery requires OCU to safely execute extensive underground cabling routes, construct new switching and substations, and navigate detailed regulatory and planning requirements. OCU Group successfully proposed and won this program as a result of combining its capabilities from recent business acquisitions and existing expertise into a comprehensive, integrated data centre pre-enablement offering. The combined track record and skills of Integrum and Modus, under the banner of OCU Connect, which also includes the Hornbill acquisition, were directly involved in securing this project with the wider OCU Energy organisation.
