The contractor is working on the initial 30MW phase which will complete next year and has now secured the contract for the next similar sized building for client Yondr.

ISG’s scope of works across both phases encompasses the delivery of ancillary buildings and structures, including the main entrance gatehouse, external plant compounds, a site-wide substation, mechanical yard and associated infrastructure.

Daniel Priest, ISG’s director for datacentres, said: “The latest advancements in AI have further added to the exponential demand for shared applications and data, which is driving a race for space within this critical national infrastructure sector.

“Our ability to deliver highly technical space at pace, and with a critical focus on quality and innovation are important factors driving repeat relationships in this sector, creating significant value and opportunity across our supply chain and within communities and the regional economy.”

The second phase is due for completion in 2025.
