Complete Design and Build

Data Centre Design and Build Specialists — From Initial Concept to Final Installation
Power Continuity handles all intricate planning and design in-house. With decades of experience in data centre development, we specialise in designing resilient infrastructure, including cooling and fire suppression systems.

Equally important, we ensure ultimate power protection at every point within this critical environment. Our mission is to deliver the most reliable and resilient data centre power infrastructure, designed to meet and exceed the highest standards of continuous power source availability.

Complete Data Centre Solutions
Whether a new build or an upgrade, we manage every phase of the project, with all work maintained and guaranteed.

Data Centre Design
Our bespoke approach evaluates every aspect of your project, highlighting each area of significant risk. Furthermore, our engineers analyse and formulate all mechanical and electrical infrastructure to maximise efficiency and resilience. Every data centre is, by nature, a custom solution.

Data Centre Build and Upgrade
Data centres take many forms — from a relatively small, integral room within a head office to a sprawling, multi-building complex. Regardless of size, a comms room functions in the same way as its larger data centre counterpart. Uninterruptible Power Systems ensure 100% power protection.

Whether it’s a server room, data centre design and build, or an upgrade, each project demands a comprehensive approach, regardless of location challenges. Therefore, Power Continuity takes into account all critical factors, including location, resource availability, energy usage, and building fabric.

The design and build — including all mechanical and electrical infrastructure — is carried out in-house by Power Continuity engineers, from concept to commissioning.

Below are the top five common data centre power design mistakes:

1. Incorrect power capacity sizing
   Undersizing or oversizing power infrastructure leads to inefficiency, wasted capital, or inability to support future growth.
2. Single points of failure
   Lacking redundancy in critical components risks total system failure during outages.
3. Poor choice of power equipment
   Using low-efficiency or unsuitable UPS systems, transformers, or switchgear compromises reliability and energy performance.
4. Poor design of fail-safe transfer systems
   Inadequate coordination between UPS, generators, and automatic transfer switches can cause delays or failures during power transitions.
5. Inadequate cabling between server load and UPS
   Undersized or poorly routed cabling creates bottlenecks, overheating risks, and limits scalability.

Data Centre Installation and Upgrade
Data centre power design flaws can prove costly to retrofit — or even catastrophic — potentially making "five nines" unattainable.
These common mistakes can be avoided by working closely with our engineers to design a resilient power solution.
Furthermore, despite tight time constraints, you can be confident your data centre installation will be commissioned on time and within budget.

The gold standard of data centre availability is "five nines" — 99.999% uptime — equating to less than 5.26 minutes of downtime per year.
To achieve this, Power Continuity integrates critical systems: DC cooling, fire suppression, A & B feed dedicated supplies, transformers, UPS power systems, and backup emergency generators — ensuring total resilience.

Data Centre Options
From bricks-and-mortar facilities and warehouse distribution sheds to containerised mobile data centres and modular complexes, we deliver complete, bespoke data centre solutions tailored to your needs.
Regardless of budget or site limitations, we provide the critical environment to meet your requirements — whether purchased or on long-term rental, permanent or temporary. All solutions are made to order.
