en.Wedoany.com Reported - Contractor and MEP specialist Phoenix ME has secured a pre-construction services agreement to transform an aging industrial estate on the 14-acre Court Lane site near London's M25 motorway into a hyperscale data center campus.
The first phase of the project will commence on July 1, involving site clearance, utility diversions, and remediation works, followed by the main construction phase. The entire campus includes two data center buildings and a dedicated 140MVA substation, which will become a key node in West London's rapidly expanding data center corridor. The delivery team includes architect Gensler, MEP design firm Cundall, and engineering support company L&P Group. Early work focuses on relocating two 36-inch Affinity Water trunk mains crossing the site, followed by a comprehensive remediation strategy. Julian Michalski, Development Director at Corscale Europe, stated that the project is designed as an excellent collaboration of a first-class team, bringing together expertise and experience, with each team member having an outstanding track record in complex mission-critical tasks, ensuring superior quality, schedule certainty, and technical assurance at every stage to meet deadlines and the practical completion target by the end of 2029.
David McDonnell, Managing Director of McLaren Data Centers, noted that the solution requires the latest construction techniques and delivery methods to address the increasingly complex demands of hyperscale data centers. The Court Lane site currently hosts various industrial uses, including recycling operations, waste transfer facilities, concrete and aggregate storage yards, vehicle parking areas, and distribution businesses. The campus is scheduled for completion by the end of 2029, adding 140MW of capacity to the market, which is experiencing surging demand for energy-intensive artificial intelligence and cloud computing facilities.
