M&E Engineering
The infrastructure behind the infrastructure.
Mechanical and electrical engineering for data centres and critical environments: power distribution, cooling, containment, fire suppression and building services, built to perform under load.
01 / Incoming supplyThe utility feed into the site, metered and protected at the intake.
01Overview
One coordinated system, not separate installs.
Our M&E team delivers the mechanical and electrical systems that keep data centres running: power distribution, cooling, containment, fire suppression and building services. We design, install and commission systems built to perform under load, day in, day out.
White space fit-out, cable containment and aisle containment sit in the same scope, so the physical environment works as a single, coordinated system rather than a collection of separate installs.
02Airflow
Why aisle containment matters.
A section through a row. Choose a layout to see where the supply air goes and where the hot exhaust ends up.
Open aisles. Some hot exhaust spills over the racks and back into the cold aisle, and some supply air bypasses the racks altogether. The cooling plant works harder to hold the same inlet temperature.
Cold aisle containment. The cold aisle is capped and doored, so supply air can only leave through the racks. Exhaust returns through the room to the cooling units.
Hot aisle containment. The hot aisle is enclosed and ducted to the ceiling void, so exhaust goes straight back to the cooling units and the rest of the room stays at supply temperature.
03What we do
The M&E scope, end to end.
Delivered to your design or ours, and coordinated with the white space and cabling either way.
-
01
White space fit-out
Complete white space installation: rack layout, containment, raised floor and infrastructure integration, delivered to your design or ours.
-
02
Cable containment
Ladder rack, basket tray and overhead pathways for clean routing, proper separation and easy maintenance.
-
03
Aisle containment
Hot and cold aisle containment to improve cooling efficiency, reduce energy waste and hold conditions steady across the data hall.
-
04
Power & electrical systems
Power distribution design and installation, from the incoming supply through transformers, switchgear, UPS and PDUs to the rack.
-
05
Cooling & HVAC
Cooling system design and installation, including precision air conditioning, chilled water, in-row cooling and airflow management.
-
06
Fire suppression & safety
Fire detection, gas suppression, sprinkler systems and safety infrastructure, designed and installed to protect the critical environment.

04Questions
Questions we’re asked.
Will you install to our consultant’s design?
Yes. We deliver to your design or ours, and coordinate the M&E with the white space and cabling either way.
Do you work on liquid-cooled halls?
Yes. We design the facility loop together with the white space, and commission it leak and flow tested through to integrated systems testing. Our liquid cooling guide sets out the options.
