RELEVANT CASE STUDIES FROM ADJACENT SECTORS

The following case studies have been selected to demonstrate MPB Structures’ capability in delivering high precision, mission critical, and technically complex structures that align closely with the requirements of data centres and digital infrastructure.

MPB previously delivered one of the UK’s earliest data centres, Project Fox in Leicester during 2012 and although the projects presented in the following pages are not data centres in their own right, they clearly evidence the transferable skills and relevant sector experience MPB can apply to digital infrastructure programmes.
