01 / Engineering
Turn the operating requirement into coordinated structural, electrical, mechanical and service information. Design around manufacture, assembly and access.
PLATFORM MODULAR
Infrastructure,
industrialised.
Engineering, manufacturing and testing. From factory to deployment.
PLATFORM MODULAR / WARRINGTON
Engineering becomes infrastructure.
Platform owns an established modular manufacturing site in Warrington. Platform Modular connects engineering, fabrication, assembly and factory testing to the wider delivery programme.
Factory work and site work are planned together: production information, transport, lifting, utility interfaces and commissioning all influence how a deployment is engineered.
ENGINEERED AS A SYSTEM
Understand
the architecture.
Power. Data hall. Cooling.
Coordinated from the outset.
ILLUSTRATIVE ARCHITECTURE · NOT TO SCALE
01 / Cooling
Manage the thermal system.
Facility cooling and heat rejection are coordinated with the rack interfaces, operating temperatures and project requirements.
Thermal design / Cooling interfaces
02 / Data hall
Make space for the workload.
Rack layout, connectivity, access and maintainability are planned around the selected compute architecture. Customer compute hardware is defined separately.
Rack architecture / Connectivity
03 / Power & services
Explore the engineering Engineer the foundation.
Supply, distribution, protection and backup arrangements are coordinated with the site and the agreed resilience requirement.
Electrical architecture / Resilience
This schematic explains the system. Configuration, capacity, cooling and resilience are defined for each project.
PLATFORM MODULAR / WARRINGTON
Designed here.
Made here.
We design and manufacture our modular infrastructure in-house. Engineering, fabrication, assembly and factory testing connect the design to the equipment that leaves our factory.
DESIGN. MANUFACTURE. ASSEMBLE. TEST. DEPLOY.
Explore the production route
THE PRODUCTION ROUTE
From engineering to dispatch.
01 / Develop
Start with the site.
Bring power availability, location, connectivity and customer demand into the same development decision.
Site assessment / Delivery dependencies
02 / Design
Engineer the whole system.
Coordinate structure, power, cooling, access and resilience around the agreed operating requirement.
Coordinated design / Defined interfaces
03 / Manufacture
Bring the design into production.
Connect fabrication, assembly, integration and factory acceptance requirements through the in-house manufacturing process.
Factory integration / Inspection records
04 / Deploy
Connect factory to site.
Sequence transport, lifting and installation with site readiness, utility interfaces and commissioning.
Installation / Acceptance evidence
05 / Operate
Support working capacity.
Define operating responsibilities, procedures and service interfaces through the project agreement and handover.
Operating procedures / Agreed responsibilities
06 / Maintain
Plan for the asset life.
Bring maintenance access, planned care and lifecycle engineering into the design and long-term service scope.
Maintenance planning / Lifecycle support
Production stages and acceptance requirements
02 / Fabrication
Prepare structural and service assemblies to the agreed design, with inspection points and material traceability defined for the project.
03 / Integration
Bring equipment and services together in the factory. Coordinate connections, access, isolation and the interfaces that will be completed on site.
04 / Testing
Agree inspection and factory acceptance requirements before dispatch. Record results, identify outstanding items and define the site commissioning scope.
05 / Dispatch & deployment
Coordinate transport, lifting and installation with site readiness. Complete site acceptance and handover against the agreed project requirements.
REPEATABLE WHERE IT HELPS. CONFIGURED WHERE IT MATTERS.
A common process.
A project-specific specification.
Repeatable elements
Design for manufacture and assembly, coordinated interfaces, production information and inspection processes support repeatable delivery.
Project configuration
Capacity, rack layout, cooling, electrical architecture, resilience, connectivity and site interfaces are set against the customer requirement.
Acceptance evidence
Agree factory acceptance tests, site acceptance tests, commissioning records, handover documentation and responsibility for closing outstanding items.
PRODUCT ARCHITECTURES
Start with the requirement.
Column and Signal Box are part of Platform’s modular architecture. Their suitability, configuration and performance are established through the technical scope for each deployment.
Discuss your IT load, rack requirements, thermal design, resilience and preferred location with our engineering team to establish the appropriate configuration and current specification.
Request a technical discussionWORKING WITH PLATFORM
From requirement to working capacity.
A clear route through commercial agreement, engineering and delivery. Each deployment has an agreed scope and programme.
- 01
Initial requirement
Share the location, IT capacity, rack architecture, resilience needs and target service date.
- 02
Letter of intent
Record the commercial intent and basis for progressing the opportunity.
- 03
Technical audit & scope
Assess the site, power, cooling, connectivity, responsibilities and delivery dependencies.
- 04
Master services agreement
Agree the overarching commercial terms, service responsibilities and governance.
- 05
Order form
Confirm the allocation, specification, price, delivery milestones and acceptance requirements.
- 06
Delivery & acceptance
Coordinate factory testing, site readiness, installation, commissioning and agreed handover evidence.
Clear responsibilities, from the outset.
Platform’s infrastructure scope extends up to the rack, as defined in the project agreement. The customer’s compute hardware, software and workloads are defined separately. Power, cooling, connectivity, commissioning, operations and maintenance interfaces are agreed during technical scoping.
Campus capacities describe the scale of our developments. Customer allocations and phased deployment requirements are agreed individually.
