Our contractors have been hard at work on-site at our new Centro datacentre facility over the past week — working 12 hour days, including the weekends!

Progress has been fantastic, with the structural elements of the secure “pod” for the Switchgear Room and South Comms Room completed and the roof starting to go in, and work starting on the steels for our staff room, store and build rooms, North Comms Room and the first part of Hosting Suite 1:

We’ve also started work on the ducting that will connect us to our HV power supplies and fibre network connection points:

As we’re installing our own private duct work for the connections, our electricty providers have been on-site to inspect and approve the quality of the works:

After only 1 days work, backfilling the trenching was started!
