Artificial intelligence is fundamentally reshaping data centre design by driving unprecedented increases in power density, cooling requirements, and infrastructure complexity. Traditional data centre racks that once operated between 5kW and 15kW are now being replaced by high-performance deployments routinely reaching 227kW, with projections suggesting demands could hit an extraordinary 600kW by late 2027. Because air can no longer efficiently remove heat at these extreme densities, the industry is rapidly transitioning to advanced liquid-cooling technologies, like direct-to-chip and immersion systems, which significantly alters how whitespace environments must be designed and built.
To meet the demands of liquid-ready infrastructure, Datalec Precision Installations (DPI) has significantly expanded its localized engineering and manufacturing capabilities in the UAE. This includes the local bespoke production of freestanding structural Hot Aisle Containment (HAC) units, standardized modular HPC pods, and the Datalec Hyperion Ceiling System, which is uniquely designed to support heavy mechanical and electrical loads without relying on HAC supports. Furthermore, to support the growing need for specialized process water infrastructure, DPI has established a dedicated stainless-steel fabrication workshop in the region to manufacture precision technology cooling loops under rigorous global quality controls.
Beyond structural fabrication, DPI provides complete end-to-end integration and global lifecycle support, working alongside leading Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) and glycol manufacturers to offer everything from system flushing and commissioning to 24/7 rapid response maintenance. Shifting to an onshore, import-independent supply chain and championing the “Made in the Emirates” mark provides distinct commercial and environmental benefits for these deployments. This localised approach drastically reduces embodied carbon by eliminating international freight, compresses project delivery timelines from months to weeks, and mitigates supply chain risks while actively supporting regional economic growth.
