Glencar starts piling for Pure DC’s 70MW LON01B2 expansion in North London
Редакция ЦОД:Главное
Glencar has begun piling works for the West Shell of LON01B2 at Pure Data Centres Group’s operational LON01 Brent Cross campus in North London. The 70MW phase is planned to take total campus capacity to 90MW, with completion scheduled for Q2 2029.
- Glencar has started piling for the West Shell of Pure DC’s LON01B2 building at Brent Cross.
- LON01B2 is a planned 70MW phase, while the campus is stated to reach 90MW in total after the expansion.
- The project builds on an operational 20MW Building 1 within the same live campus.
- The new phase targets high-density AI inference and cloud workloads and is described as using closed-loop liquid cooling.
- Completion is scheduled for Q2 2029, not confirmed as operational availability.
Pure Data Centres Group has entered the final major construction phase of its LON01 Brent Cross campus in North London, with contractor Glencar commencing piling works for the West Shell of the LON01B2 building.
LON01B2 is a planned 70MW expansion phase. Pure DC says the development would take total capacity at the LON01 campus to 90MW. It follows the campus’s operational 20MW Building 1 and is being developed within the live site, adding delivery complexity relative to a greenfield deployment.
The B2 development is intended for high-density AI inference and cloud workloads. It is described as part of a data-center facility using closed-loop liquid cooling, signalling infrastructure designed for more resource-intensive compute environments.
The phase is expected to add 23,186 square metres to the campus. Completion is scheduled for Q2 2029; this remains a target date rather than evidence of commissioning or operational availability.
The source describes the overall LON01 Brent Cross campus as a £1bn-plus project, with a stated US$1.3bn equivalent. The disclosed investment figure relates to the total project and does not establish expenditure to date. If the expansion is completed as planned, it could reinforce London’s supply of capacity aimed at AI-oriented deployments while underscoring the importance of phased construction experience in operating campuses.
The project illustrates continued build-out of high-density AI and cloud infrastructure in London, while highlighting the delivery challenge of expanding a large data-center campus within an operating, space-constrained site. If delivered as planned, it could add material capacity to the London market and increase competition for suitable sites, construction capability and engineering solutions for AI workloads.
