Data Centres
Mission-critical cooling and power design for hyperscale and edge facilities.
Data centres live and die by thermal performance and power resilience. Every watt of IT load is a watt of heat to reject, and redundancy has to be designed in, not bolted on.
C&T delivers MEP design and BIM for critical facilities — pairing detailed mechanical and electrical design with CFD analysis to validate airflow and hotspot risk before commissioning.

What we bring to data centres
MEP Engineering Design
Mechanical and electrical design built around the critical IT load — cooling topology, power distribution and redundancy engineered to the facility's uptime target.
- Cooling topology
- Power distribution
- Redundancy design
CFD & FEA Analysis
CFD airflow modelling of cold and hot aisles proves rack-level cooling and surfaces hotspots before any equipment is energised.
- Cold/hot aisle CFD
- Hotspot detection
- PUE-aware airflow
BIM & 3D Modelling
Federated BIM of white space and plant rooms keeps high-density services coordinated and serviceable through the facility's life.
- White-space modelling
- Plant-room coordination
- As-built handover
MTO & BOQ
Material take-offs and BOQ generated directly from the model keep procurement on fast-track data-centre programmes accurate and on time.
- Model-based MTO
- BOQ
- Tender support
Walkthrough Videos
Walkthrough and flythrough videos from the model give stakeholders a clear read of white-space layout and serviceability before construction.
- Walkthrough videos
- Flythrough animations
- Stakeholder review
