01 About

We build and run the rooms the modern economy depends on.

Northgate Infrastructure is a specialist data centre company. Our work covers the complete life of a facility: site selection and design, electrical and mechanical build, network and compute deployment, and the long, careful work of keeping everything running without interruption.

We take a conservative view of risk. Every design is reviewed for single points of failure, every change follows a written procedure, and every system is monitored around the clock. Our clients include organisations for whom downtime is not an option.

05 Approach

How we work

A deliberate, documented process. Nothing is energised, connected or changed without a plan, a review and a record.

  1. I

    Assess

    Site, load, risk and regulatory review. We define what the facility must do before deciding how it will be built.

  2. II

    Design

    Topology, capacity and resilience are fixed on paper. Designs are peer-reviewed against the agreed tier and standards.

  3. III

    Build

    Construction, fit-out and integrated systems testing, concluding with full-load commissioning before handover.

  4. IV

    Operate

    Monitoring, maintenance, change control and reporting, carried out by the same team that commissioned the facility.
