Data Centre, Ealing

The brief:

Sweet Projects carried out the following works situated in the city of London, the 1.95-hectare site previously contained Renault and Nissan showrooms, vehicle forecourts and maintenance areas, as well as internal waste oil storage facilities. For the first phase of the project, all buildings and structures, including the retaining wall, were demolished. 

To prepare for the construction of two new hyperscale data centres, along with an office building and substation, major utility diversions and disconnections were necessary. Ground remediation and site re-levelling were also carried out as part of the enabling work. During this time, Sweet Projects managed the design from RIBA stage 2 to stage 4, in tandem with our construction activities. Throughout the project, health and safety was a top priority. The project team implemented strict safety protocols and procedures to ensure the workers and surrounding community were protected.

Key challenges:

• Neighbouring live television studio
• Works carried out in contaminated ground
• Relocation of live bus stop and major diversion of traffic carried out under temporary traffic regulation order
• Public realm works with HV and sewer diversion

The solution:

• Stringent vibration and noise monitoring regime
• Works carried out by competent subcontractors under watching brief
• Material storage and movements under strict controls
• Street works completed by qualified subcontractor with supervision by Sweet Projects staff
• Sweet Projects staff developed close working relationship with Ealing Council and local stakeholders
