An Introduction to Cold Aisle Containment Systems in the Data Centre

Data Centre Build

Sudlows aim to offer the highest standard and most effective building designs for all our data centre projects using the best possible technologies for modern environments.

Our data centre specialists include certified Uptime Institute Accredited Tier Designers (ATD), BICSI RCDD qualified and Certified Data Centre Design Professionals (CDCDP) with extensive knowledge of best practice design principles.

We construct secure modular rooms with high performance raised access flooring, suspended ceilings and wall and ceiling panelling – cost effective and simple ways of reducing physical space, minimising energy loss (particularly in high ceiling buildings) and providing the added ability to route and re-route data and power services with minimum business disruption.

Modular Rooms

Sudlows design and build modular data centre and server rooms to protect the most innovative and resilient internal hardware.

With the option of constructing independent “room within a room” enclosures rather than traditional data centre shell, we can offer complete flexibility to extend or relocate the protective structure at any time.

We have created high strength modular room concepts for various sized server and data centres environments in commercial offices and warehouse settings.

Raised Access Flooring

Raised Access flooring is an adaptable platform designed to meet airflow demands and containment of power tray and data cabling baskets.

The removable floor enclosure allows a flexible working space that permits the route and re-route of data and power services with minimum data centre disruption. It also creates a raised floor plenum to assist with the airflow demands of the cooling equipment by reducing the energy used in circulating chilled air and providing passive ventilation.

Suspended Ceilings

Suspended ceilings improve your data centre environment by saving energy from lighting, IT cooling systems, generators and power supplies, particularly in high ceiling buildings.

We install durable tiles, grid and ancillary products, which reduce free space for a smaller data centre footprint and higher environmental performance. Like raised access flooring, the area of the server room is reduced, which facilitates cooling efficiency particularly in high ceiling buildings.
