Colt Data Centre Services has initiated the construction of its third state-of-the-art data centre in Frankfurt. The new hyperscale data centre will offer 32.4MW of IT capacity, all powered by 100% renewable energy. Spanning a gross area of 12,599m2, this three-story facility is designed to Tier 3 specifications providing resilient power and a high concentration of fibre routes.
Cundall has extensive expertise designing hyperscale data centres for leading cloud service providers. The new Frankfurt facility will provide direct access to the DE-CIX, one of the world's largest internet exchange points and will offer cloud, carrier, and IX neutrality. The data centre will also support liquid cooling, high-density rack layouts, and hybrid cooling solutions to accommodate the AI-enabled future.
Construction on the project began in November 2023, with Cundall operating as the client design representative. As a result, Cundall has been delivering peer-reviews of the project as it progresses through each of the RIBA stages and provides technical support to Colt's discipline SME team.
The Cundall team were delighted to be awarded the client design representative role for the Frankfurt 3 data centre. Our multi-disciplinary team focuses on the technical reviews and design improvements to provide technical support to Colt's discipline SME team.
