The contractor is already on site at the new 100MW datacentre campus development, closing in on completion of the first of three planned multi-storey datacentre buildings in early 2024. The second phase, now sees ISG build an identical three-storey 30MW datacentre building at the campus, with full handover expected in 2025.

Representing the largest construction projects currently underway in Slough, ISG’s scope of works across both phases encompasses the delivery of ancillary buildings and structures, including the main entrance gatehouse, external plant compounds, a site-wide substation, mechanical yard and associated infrastructure.

Daniel Priest, ISG’s director for datacentres, commented: “The latest advancements in AI have further added to the exponential demand for shared applications and data, which is driving a race for space within this critical national infrastructure sector. Our ability to deliver highly technical space at pace, and with a critical focus on quality and innovation are important factors driving repeat relationships in this sector, creating significant value and opportunity across our supply chain and within communities and the regional economy.”
