Modular Pipework

In today’s fast-paced, digital-first world, businesses need flexible, scalable, and efficient data centre solutions to keep up with growing data demands. The need for agile infrastructure is more pressing than ever. That’s where modular data centres come in—offering a scalable, cost-effective, and rapid solution to meet your ever-evolving business needs.

At GL projects, we specialise in the design, construction, and deployment of modular data centres that are tailored to your specific operational requirements. Our turnkey solutions ensure that your data infrastructure is both future-proof and cost-effective, helping you achieve maximum performance with minimal complexity.

A scalable, flexible & efficient solution

Our System

We are a leading provider of modular secondary fluid network (SFN) pipework systems. We have developed an agile pipework carrier allowing the deployment of either single or dual loop systems with integrated drip tray. The system has an capacity in excess of 2400kW and is fully customisable.

Our team of expert engineers, architects, and project managers work with you to create a customised solution that meets your business goals, whether you're looking to scale your operations quickly or improve energy efficiency.

Our offering

Custom Design & Engineering:
- We work closely with you to design a modular data centre that meets your specific power, cooling, security, and space requirements.
- Flexible Configurations: Whether you need a single module or a multi-module deployment, our team ensures the solution is perfectly tailored to your current and future needs.
- Advanced Design Tools: Using cutting-edge 3D modelling and simulation tools, we optimise your data centre’s layout for maximum efficiency, scalability, and energy performance.
Pre-fabrication & Manufacturing:
- Our modular units are built in a controlled factory environment, using high-quality materials and components. This ensures the build quality is consistent, and the units are ready to be deployed as soon as they arrive on-site.
- Quality Control: Every module undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets industry standards for performance, safety, and durability.
Turnkey Deployment:
- On-site Installation: We handle the complete deployment, from site preparation to module assembly and integration of power, cooling, and networking.
- Plug-and-Play Setup: Once the modules are installed, your data centre is ready to go live, with all systems fully integrated and operational.
Power & Cooling Solutions:
- Energy-efficient cooling: Our modular data centres come with built-in, energy-efficient cooling systems (including free cooling, chilled-water systems, or in-row cooling) to ensure maximum performance at lower costs.
- Redundant Power Systems: We incorporate backup power (UPS systems, generators) to ensure 24/7 uptime and reliability.
Scalability & Flexibility:
- Easily Scalable: As your business grows, you can expand your modular data centre by adding additional modules or increasing capacity with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
- Future-proofing: We plan for future capacity needs right from the start, allowing your data centre to grow without requiring a complete rebuild.
Security & Compliance:
- Physical Security: Our modular solutions are designed with robust security features, including access control systems, surveillance, and fire suppression systems.
- Compliance: We ensure that your modular data centre meets the necessary regulatory requirements (e.g., ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA), and we support you in achieving industry certifications.
Energy Efficiency & Sustainability:
- Green Data Centres: Our designs prioritise sustainability, helping you meet your carbon reduction and energy efficiency goals. With modular data centres, you can achieve greater energy savings through integrated free cooling, efficient HVAC, and power management solutions.
- LEED Certification: Many of our modular solutions are built to meet LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards, ensuring your facility is energy-efficient and eco-friendly.
Ongoing Maintenance & Support:
- Long-term Support: We offer 24/7 monitoring, preventive maintenance, and technical support to ensure that your modular data centre continues to operate at peak performance.
- Remote Management: With integrated monitoring systems, we can remotely manage and troubleshoot your data centre, minimising downtime and ensuring efficiency.

Our approach

Speed of Deployment: Modular data centres offer rapid deployment compared to traditional builds. With off-site construction and minimal on-site work, you can get your data centre up and running in a fraction of the time.
Scalability: Our modular designs are inherently scalable. As your data requirements grow, you can expand your data centre capacity with ease—without the need for costly or disruptive upgrades.
Cost Efficiency: By leveraging modular construction, you can significantly reduce capital expenditures and operational costs. Our designs are energy-efficient, reducing long-term operating costs, and ensuring your facility meets sustainability targets.
Customisation: We understand that no two businesses are the same. Our team works with you to tailor the modular design to your specific requirements, ensuring you get a solution that meets your exact operational, technical, and financial goals.
End-to-End Service: From concept and design to deployment, commissioning, and ongoing support, we offer a full suite of services to ensure that your modular data centre is built, optimised, and maintained for the long term.
Reliability & Redundancy: Our solutions are built with high levels of redundancy and fail-safe mechanisms to ensure maximum uptime, with advanced power and cooling systems, backup power, and robust security features.
