Rossair is a UK mechanical and electrical contractor delivering chiller, air conditioning and electrical work for data centres, with current projects in London and Manchester. Cooling plant, close control units and power are installed and maintained by directly employed, F-Gas certified engineers, with electrical work certificated to BS 7671.
Data centre cooling: chillers, CRAC and close control
Rossair installs, replaces and maintains the cooling that keeps data halls inside their temperature band: chillers and chilled water systems, CRAC and CRAH units, close control air conditioning and the pipework, pumps and controls that connect them. Replacements in live buildings are planned as staged changeovers so the load stays cooled throughout. See chiller and plant replacement.
Power and electrical
Power distribution, sub-mains, lighting and small power, containment, and the inspection and testing that goes with them, delivered by Rossair’s in-house electrical team and certificated to BS 7671. See commercial and industrial electrical services.
On-site solar PV and battery storage
Data centres carry large, constant electrical loads. Rossair also delivers commercial solar PV and battery storage, with DNO and G99 applications handled in-house, so on-site generation can be designed alongside the cooling and electrical work rather than bolted on later.
Server rooms and comms rooms
Not every critical space is a data hall. Rossair also designs, installs and maintains server room and comms room air conditioning for offices, schools and NHS sites, where a cooling failure takes the network down.
Where we work
Current data centre projects are in London and Manchester, run from Rossair’s London office in Aldgate and the Manchester base. See commercial air conditioning in London and Manchester. Installation projects are delivered UK-wide.
Appointed on data centre projects in London and Manchester
Rossair has been appointed to deliver chiller, air conditioning and electrical work on data centre projects in London and Manchester for global clients. Clients and sites stay confidential while the work is under way. Further detail can be shared at proposal stage where clients allow it.
