Data Centre Construction
Data and AI

As we see the rapid growth of the data and AI sectors, the demand for high-performance infrastructure has never been greater. As we enter a new era, driven by the advancement of Artificial Intelligence, the development of High-Performance Computing (HPC) and data centre environments is essential.
Our delivery of high-profile, industry-leading projects, including Isambard 3 and Isambard AI – a world-class supercomputer for AI and HPC for the University of Bristol – shows that Oakland is a trusted choice for data centre and HPC construction across Bristol, Bath, and the West of England.

Rapid delivery and effective coordination
The shift into the ‘AI era’ means projects in this sector need to move forward at exceptional speed. And as data centre construction covers specialist areas, from specialist MEP, cooling, and HVAC systems to high-capacity power distribution units, fire suppression systems, and security measures, we partner with trusted subcontractors and tech experts so every component integrates seamlessly.
Because of these additional specialisms, data centre construction typically involves more stakeholders than standard projects. But it’s our role to coordinate all teams effectively, including IT specialists, utilities providers, equipment suppliers, and compliance experts, while maintaining the highest standards of quality and safety on site.

Trusted for future-proofed facilities
The Oakland team is trained and highly skilled at managing schedules that can be necessarily short and adapting to changes without compromising standards. This agility is critical in a sector where evolving tech and regulatory or market-driven needs can often change during the project to make each facility future-proof.
These projects need high-level coordination, consistent quality control, and a confident team that can work in a highly engineered environment. Our experience, capability, and proven expertise in this and other sectors mean Oakland can manage the challenges data centre and HPC environment construction can bring and deliver state-of-the-art facilities that support long-term digital growth.
