Mission critical ICT design
Successful data centres depend on more than individual technology systems. Telecom infrastructure, structured cabling, data networks, physical security and operational technologies must work together seamlessly to support mission critical operations, maintain uptime and enable future growth.
Our approach brings these disciplines together from the earliest stages of design. By understanding operational requirements, resilience objectives and facility constraints, we create coordinated ICT infrastructure environments that are easier to deliver, manage and maintain throughout their lifecycle.
Whether supporting a hyperscale data centre, colocation facility or enterprise data centre environment, we work closely with project stakeholders to ensure ICT infrastructure is fully integrated with the wider building and operational environment. Through detailed design, technical coordination and delivery assurance, we help clients reduce risk and achieve greater certainty throughout the project lifecycle.
PTS has delivered data centre ICT design services across major global programmes, including hyperscale developments, colocation facilities, campus expansions and live operational environments. Our experience spans every stage of the project lifecycle, from concept design and infrastructure planning through to construction assurance, testing and commissioning support.

Telecom Infrastructure Design
Structured cabling systems, fibre infrastructure, carrier connectivity, telecom spaces and resilient pathways designed to support critical operational and support systems across data centre environments.
Data Centre Network Design
Secure and resilient network architectures supporting corporate, operational and security systems, with the scalability required for hyperscale, colocation and enterprise facilities.
Physical & Electronic Security Design
Integrated security solutions including access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection, perimeter protection and control room environments designed to protect critical infrastructure.
AV & Multimedia Design
Control rooms, Network Operation Centres, situation rooms and operational collaboration environments designed to enhance visibility, communication and decision making.
Technical Coordination
Multidisciplinary coordination between ICT, MEP, architectural and construction teams to ensure technology systems are fully integrated throughout design and delivery.
Construction Assurance & Commissioning
Technical reviews, quality assessments, testing oversight and commissioning support to help ensure systems are delivered to specification and perform as intended.
Where we’ve proven it.
Three recent engagements across different sectors and scales, each built on the same approach: independent specification, no vendor agreements, and spaces that perform.
Frequently asked questions
The five questions we answer before every data centre ICT design services engagement. If yours isn’t here, book 30 minutes and put it to us directly.
Data centre ICT design services cover the planning, design and coordination of the technology infrastructure that supports critical operations. This includes telecom infrastructure, structured cabling, data networks, physical and electronic security, control rooms and operational technologies. The goal is to create a resilient and scalable environment that supports both current operational requirements and future growth.
ICT design should begin as early as possible. Telecom infrastructure, fibre pathways, equipment spaces, network requirements and security systems all influence wider building design decisions. Early engagement helps ensure infrastructure requirements are coordinated from the outset, reducing risk and avoiding costly changes later in the project.
Resilience is built into every stage of the design process. We consider fibre routing, carrier diversity, network architecture, equipment locations and system integration to minimise single points of failure and support continuous operation across critical infrastructure environments.
Yes. Our experience spans hyperscale, colocation and enterprise data centre environments, including large-scale campus developments, facility expansions and live operational facilities. We help clients design infrastructure that supports resilience, scalability and operational continuity at every stage of the project lifecycle.
Our involvement extends beyond design. We provide technical reviews, construction assurance, quality assessments, testing oversight and commissioning support to help ensure infrastructure is delivered correctly and performs as intended before operational handover.
