Billington Structures delivered structural steelwork for a data centre in Hemel Hempstead, supporting a multi-phase expansion with steelwork, decking and specialist gantries.
This data centre in Hemel Hempstead formed part of the client's continued expansion programme. Located within one of the UK's most established data centre hubs, the development increased technical capacity and enhanced the site's operational infrastructure to support future growth.
Billington Structures played a key role throughout the expansion programme, delivering structural steelwork solutions across a number of phases. The initial phase involved the construction of a two-storey braced steel structure incorporating Metsec joists at ceiling level to form a new data centre facility. Subsequent works included the delivery of structural steelwork, metal decking and fire protection systems, supporting the continued growth of the campus.
As the development evolved, Billington was also appointed to provide a galvanised steel gantry structure complete with mesh flooring to the generator yard area, creating safe access routes and supporting critical operational infrastructure.
Working across multiple phases enabled Billington Structures to develop a detailed understanding of the site's requirements while maintaining programme certainty and quality standards throughout. The project demonstrates the company's ability to support long-term data centre developments, delivering flexible structural steel solutions that adapt to the changing needs of expanding facilities.
The successful delivery of multiple packages over several years highlights Billington Structures' experience within the data centre sector and its capability to support complex infrastructure projects.
