Apr 27, 2023 | Posted by Abdul-Rahman Oladimeji
Glencar, a prominent UK & Ireland construction firm that has recently been listed among Europe's fastest-growing companies, disclosed that it had been granted a contract to construct the new LHR21 facility for Vantage Data Centers at the company's second London Campus near Heathrow Airport. The six-story, 194,000-square-foot data center will contain data processing equipment, telecommunications, and computers for various companies and groups that provide online data services. The specialized Data Centre crew at Glencar is preparing to begin construction on the 1.2-acre campus site, with the project expected to be completed in early 2025. The Glencar team has also collaborated with Essex Services Group (ESG), a market leader in Building Services for Data Centres, as part of the 'Contractor Alliance' to deliver LHR21 successfully.
The data center will be outfitted with cutting-edge electrical equipment to ensure maximum efficiency and dependability, climate-independent and environmentally responsible cooling systems, and both physical and electronic safety systems, which include industry-leading security management. Eddie McGillycuddy, the CEO of Glencar, stated that securing this assignment with Vantage Data Centers is a significant step in the company's entry into the Data Center market. Vantage has been an incredible companion from the very beginning, despite the fact that many of their team members have a wealth of experience in this industry. Their participation throughout the planning and pre-construction stage, combined with their extensive understanding of such highly specialized industrial, pharmaceutical, and temperature-controlled infrastructure, has enabled them to develop an efficient program for delivering this project.
