Gosport Cooling Systems Replacement Project
iomart will be carrying out works to replace all of the air conditioning units in both data halls in Gosport, the works will be carried out over an eight-month period. The existing units are at the end of life and will be replaced with new units that are more efficient and reliable. The contractor carrying out the work will be Sudlows who specialise in carrying out works in critical infrastructure environments. iomart has used Sudlows previously to successfully carry out cooling system replacement works in a live data centre environment.

How the work will be carried out
We will be replacing the existing units in a phased approach to ensure continuity of cooling to the Data Halls and that the space is not compromised with regards to the environmental temperature within the room. The work will be carried out on a one-unit-out, one-unit-in basis

When will the work be carried out?
The work is due to begin on 28th October 2024 with scheduled completion due in June 2025 Who will be completing the work? Sudlows will be the main contractor carrying out the works, working in tandem with iomart management and electrical staff.

Will I experience downtime?
As with any type of work of this nature, there is a risk of downtime, however the planned works are expected to be non-service affecting. Should any issues arise, the work will be halted and reverted to maintain the data hall temperatures and conditions
