Data Centre Resilience why fuel infrastructure deserves a seat at the data centre resilience table

Our new report, The Resilience Imperative: Embedding Fuel Infrastructure Resilience into Data Centre Design, looks at the risks, design considerations and installation challenges facing consultants, designers and project teams working on fuel systems.
David Palmer, our National Sales Manager for UK & Ireland, explains why this matters now:

“As expectations around uptime continue to rise, resilience can no longer be viewed in isolation. It is important to consider full systems too, which includes fuel infrastructure, the pipes, valves and fittings that play a critical role in transferring fuel to ensure backup power performs when it needs to.

“By applying the same principles of redundancy, risk reduction and future readiness to fuel systems, operators can strengthen resilience across the entire data centre.“
The report also makes the case for secondary containment, an additional layer of leak protection around the primary fuel pipe, and sets out how project teams can align piping systems, installation methods and future fuel strategies.
