Data Centres: The Ardmac Way Early Contractor Engagement reduces construction time, ensures budgets are robust and unnecessary overspend is eliminated.

“With a positive culture at the core of a project— design, schedule, commercial and operations needs and targets can be met first. As a consequence the construction process can focus all efforts on its core elements such as safety, quality and production.”

Early Contractor Engagement leads to the best outcomes for our clients. By integrating service penetrations during the pre-construction phase, we ensure alignment between contractors and client requirements. This collaborative model has been successfully applied across multiple European jurisdictions, including the rapidly expanding Spanish data centre market. A dedicated team of specialists and client representatives establishes a strong, integrated schedule and steering committee, laying the foundation for project success. When this core group engages early, it fosters a culture of safety and collaboration, driving optimal results. With a positive culture at the heart of the project, key elements—such as design, scheduling, commercial considerations, and operational targets—can be prioritised effectively. As a result, the construction phase can remain focused on its core pillars: safety, quality, and productivity Across Europe — including our expanding work in Spain — Early Contractor Engagement remains central to project success. By integrating our local Spanish team early in the design and planning stages, clients benefit from regional knowledge, supply chain efficiency, and established partnerships aligned with local regulation and delivery needs. This approach is especially valuable in the rapidly growing Spanish and Portuguese data centre markets, where project speed, certainty, and scalability are essential.

THE ARDMAC WAY

DfMA(D) Design for Manufacture and Assembly / Disassembly.

Products can be designed to LOD500 detail ahead of time for ease of manufacture and assembly of parts that form an overall solution. This has proven successful in designing, procuring, and fabricating systems and components off-site, reducing schedule, labour requirements, transport costs, and site waste, while creating a safer work environment. One example of where this off-site construction approach to data centre controlled environments has been successful is where we have provided hot and cold aisle (HAC) solutions to leading global brands internationally.

Ardmac implements a DfMA(D) or ‘Design for Manufacture and Assembly/Disassembly’ strategy, wherever possible, to assist the on-site assembly and construction process. Generating detailed 3D models using specialist design software allows for the classification and quantification of materials directly from the model. Models can then be transferred digitally to manufacturing partners production software. As demand accelerates in the Iberian market, our offsite manufacturing and DfMA approach enables faster, more predictable delivery for projects across Spain and Portugal, supporting the rapid expansion of hyperscale and cloud infrastructure in the region. Anything that is modelled is coded and trackable. Schedules of quantities and sizes (or any other properties) that are linked to model objects can be extracted with ease. This greatly reduces the amount of manual counting, minimizes the risk of human error, and improves accuracy, impacting quality and cost control.

“By adopting Design for Manufacture and Assembly early, we deliver smarter, safer, and more efficient solutions. Collaborating with our customers allows us to reduce waste, minimise risk, and ensure consistent quality from design to delivery.”

Peter Lonergan, Associate Director Pre-Construction and Innovation

CASE STUDY

Modular Suspended Structural Aisle Containment Solution Specialist interior fit-out of a hyper-scale data centre project in Denmark

Client:

Confidential Denmark Hyper Scale

Location:

Project Size:

In late 2020 Ardmac were appointed to deliver the specialist interior fit-out of a hyper-scale data centre project in Denmark for a well-known global brand. Part of the scope includes suspended structural ceiling grids and a bespoke aisle containment solution tailored to the end user’s needs. Aisle containment systems enclose the space between server racks, collecting the IT equipment’s hot exhaust air, while the data hall architectural elements create a large cold-air plenum. This keeps the hot and cold air streams separated, ensuring effective cooling and Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE). Given the complexity of the build and the requirement for fully integrated electrical services within suspended structural cold aisles, modular solutions leveraging the benefits of off-site construction and DfMA strategies have been utilised. Supplementing our Building SMART approach, BIM has played an important role in the coordination and procurement of the components and the interdependent services that rely on a high quality delivery from the Ardmac Technical Team. Our Architectural Technologists work closely with other trades to ensure a zero-risk delivery of the solution. Early engagement and collaboration with the client and other supply chain partners has created opportunity to manufacture, procure and assemble the solution in an off-site location close to the facility ahead of traditional programme commencement dates.

This approach allows the construction of the ceiling and aisle containment systems to commence ahead of the critical path and room ready dates. All components are pre-ordered and manufactured in accordance with the approved design proposal to allow a zero waste off-site assembly of the modular cold aisle, demonstrating our continued commitment to sustainable construction methods. Pre-fitting of integrated electrical services in an off- site location close to the facility is just one of the benefits of the approach resulting in a LEAN project delivery and early schedule activity for multiple trades. Improved labour production within the factory setting and the resulting speed of installation of the aisle containment modules has positive knock-on effects for subsequent trade activities, and is just one example of the benefits of our LEAN approach to project delivery. Modular cold aisles and ceiling systems are assembled in factory-controlled conditions, ensuring a safe working environment and reducing working at height, while elevating quality standards in comparison to traditional construction methods and generating enhanced Pre-Manufactured Value (PMV) for our clients.

Ground Supported (GS) Hot and Cold Aisle Containment Ardmac ground supported, structural HAC (Hot Aisle Containment) assembly

Client:

Confidential Vienna, Austria Hyper Scale

Location:

Project Size:

As part of our data centre design strategy, hot and cold aisle containment (HAC) solutions are among the most effective for cooling efficiency and Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE). These systems separate hot exhaust air from cold supply air by enclosing the space between server racks. Ardmac offers Ground Supported (GS) and Ceiling Supported (CS) assemblies tailored to modular and off-site construction needs. Our standardised solutions are high-performing, scalable, and integrate seamlessly with server and cabling infrastructure. We also provide customised options to meet specific project requirements for structure, aesthetics, access control, and service integration. Aisle containment systems must integrate electrical and mechanical services, requiring early collaboration. With Early Contractor Involvement (ECI), we can design and assemble fully-equipped HAC units off-site, enhancing programme speed and construction quality through Design for Manufacture and Assembly/Disassembly (DfMA). Using 3D models, components are classified, quantified, and transferred to manufacturing systems with trackable accuracy. LOD500-level detail ensures parts are pre-fabricated for efficient, low-waste assembly. This approach has delivered successful outcomes for major clients worldwide. A recent case study in Austria highlights the use of Ardmac’s ground-supported HAC system, built to transfer service loads to floor slabs, eliminating ceiling suspension.

Our team conducted architectural and structural assessments to meet client needs for spans, tolerances, and finishes. The resulting structure, co-designed with M&E partners, included integrated access control and a walk-on ceiling system supported by beams spanning HAC units. These beams carried both ceiling and service loads. Design input is most valuable during the ECI phase, where Ardmac supports clients in identifying off-site opportunities and achieving high Pre-Manufactured Value (PMV). Our BIM Level 2 certified processes and model libraries streamline coordination with manufacturing and supply chain partners. Products are manufactured under ISO 14001:2015 standards, using sustainable, recyclable components and lean methods. Scalable HAC units are designed to fit varied room modules, with zero waste from LOD500 precision. Structurally, the system includes main beams for ceiling and services, cantilevered arms for support, and cross-bracing for stability. Assemblies are available as 3D modules or flat-pack formats to suit site conditions. Off-site prefabrication minimises site labour, waste, and risk, with this project achieving significant time savings thanks to detailed design and DfMA planning.
