Why Modular Data Centres Are Beating Greenfield Timelines – And When They Make Sense
The data centre industry has a timing problem. Traditional greenfield builds take 18-24 months from start to finish. AI workloads are doubling every six months. That gap isn't sustainable. Enter modular deployments – prefabricated, factory-assembled units that are changing the math on speed, cost, and efficiency. These aren't compromised solutions. They're purpose-built infrastructure designed for the next decade of density and demand.
15 Years, 12 Countries: What We’ve Learned Delivering Across Borders
Over the past 15 years, the PGP team have delivered technically complex data centre and infrastructure projects across twelve countries — from the UK and Ireland to Finland, Qatar, and Vietnam. Each market brings its own working practices, regulations, and expectations. Weather, logistics, local labour laws, and national safety codes can differ dramatically — yet every project still needs to perform flawlessly.
Sustainable Innovation in Data Centre Design: From Seawater Cooling to Green Infrastructure
Technology infrastructure like data centres remain mission-critical — powering everything from global business to AI, cloud, and connectivity. And while developers and hyperscalers continue to scale up facility builds, there’s a growing wave of sustainability-led innovation shaping how these sites are designed, built, and operated.
3D Modelling Supports Successful Roofing Delivery at Slough’s Union Park
PGP recently completed roofing and drainage works at Union Park, a technically complex data centre project near Heathrow, delivered in partnership with Sweet Projects. PGP became the first contractor on this campus to introduce 3D modelling for their downpipe design — enabling complex service coordination and efficient delivery.
PGP Achieves Constructionline Gold Certification
We’re proud to share that Power Grid Projects has achieved Constructionline Gold certification — a key industry standard for health and safety, quality, compliance, and responsible delivery. Our registration number is 1320860.
Europe’s Energy Equation: Lower Prices from Renewables Come with Higher Risks for Data Centres
Across Europe, energy prices are falling – and at first glance, that looks like good news for the data centre industry. But there’s a hidden cost: resilience. At PGP, we build for scale and resilience. We ensure every project is designed not just for price, but for power continuity – even in a grid that’s getting greener, but more unpredictable. Let’s discuss how to embed power resilience into your next build – cost-efficient, reliable, future-proof.

The Grid Can’t Keep Up
Our energy infrastructure is under unprecedented strain. Overloaded substations, surging demand for cooling, and fragile transmission lines are no longer just seasonal flashpoints — they signal a deeper structural shift in the resilience of our energy supply and demand.
