Data Centre Relocation Services
Relocating the Heavy Infrastructure of Your Data Centre
Sparrow Installation Services handles the heavy infrastructure side of data centre relocation. We move and install the plant that keeps a data centre running, from UPS systems and standby generators to cooling units and cabinets, with careful handling and precise positioning.
Data centre relocation is a specialist form of factory relocation, and we bring the same directly employed engineers, lifting equipment and planning to it. We are based in Bristol and work across the South West and nationwide, coordinating with your IT and facilities teams around the move.
What We Relocate
UPS and Standby Generators
We move and position heavy uninterruptible power supplies and standby generators, using gantries, skates and jacking to place them safely in plant rooms and basements.
Cooling Units and Mechanical Plant
We relocate CRAC units, chillers and the mechanical plant that keeps a data centre cool, handling the heavy lifting and setting equipment down ready for reconnection.
Racks, Cabinets and Enclosures
We move server racks, cabinets and enclosures with controlled handling, protecting the equipment as it is transported and positioned in its new location.
How We Plan a Data Centre Move
- Site survey: we assess the equipment, the plant rooms, the route and access at both ends.
- Method statement: we plan the lifting, handling and sequence around your IT and facilities schedule.
- The move: our engineers disconnect where agreed, move and transport the infrastructure.
- Set down and align: we position and level the plant ready for reconnection and commissioning.
