Project news: nLighten Edge Data Centre, Milton Keynes

Our team have been busy providing BIM information management, BIM co-ordination and MEP services for the development of a next generation data centre in Milton Keynes.
Smaller than a traditional data centre, edge data centres are located away from the usual data centre hotspots, closer to end users to improve connectivity and reduce data latency. This also means they’re smaller than a traditional data centre, but with the same high specification requirements for MEP services (power supply, cooling, humidity control, fire protection and security) and therefore requiring high accuracy and precision in design and modelling.

MultiCAD are working with ROCMEP to develop and deliver a BIM Execution plan that meets the end user’s design standards. Our team is also supporting BIM Co-ordination to provide a BIM to a minimum of Level of Development (LOD) 350, providing MEP designs and running weekly BIM clash detection meetings. This is ensuring the project stays on track, ready to meet its Ready for Service (RFS) timeline.

Data centres have complex MEP and BIM requirements and stringent project timelines, so the work has to be precise and turned around quickly. Deliverables and outputs from MultiCAD were high-quality, from the BIM Execution Plan that governed the BIM and design to the ongoing co-ordination.
