Need a Reliable Backup Water Supply for Your Data Centre? Here’s How Offsite Prefabrication Helps

Keeping water systems reliable and efficient is essential in mission-critical environments like data centres. That’s why FES MEP LTD turned to us for a fully prefabricated emergency water kiosk plant room for use at a Digital Realty data centre.

By choosing offsite construction, they ensured a faster, more controlled installation with minimal on site disruption. An important advantage in an operational data centre.

A fully assembled, ready-to-connect system

Designed, built and tested in our prefabrication facility, the kiosk was delivered ready for rapid installation, reducing time and complexity on site. It includes:

  • 2000L water storage tank to maintain a reliable backup supply
  • Five booster pump sets for consistent water distribution
  • Ten-stage filtration system with UV treatment for high-quality water output
  • Automatic control valves and an integrated control panel for seamless operation
  • Copper press-fit pipework for durability and efficiency
  • Custom green exterior finish to match the site requirements

At 3.5m x 5.5m x 3.8m, this compact but high-performance system was built to fit site requirements while keeping installation fast and disruption minimal.

Why prefabrication?

For contractors and facilities managers, prefabrication means:

  • Less on-site disruption – Systems arrive ready to connect, reducing installation time.
  • Greater quality control – Built and tested in a controlled environment before delivery.
  • Faster project timelines – No delays due to weather or on-site restrictions.

Essco Prefab worked closely with the project team to deliver a system that met the site’s needs while staying on schedule.
