manufactured solution. Working in partnership with the Carbon Trust, Camco Global, the Green Grid, Intellect and the Data Centre Alliance, we will ensure the future of sustainable data centre best practice and compliance with the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme and EU Code of Conduct on DataCentres and Energy Efficiency.
Spring Park has been specifically chosen for the levels of security it affords. The enhanced levels of physical security are complemented with advanced technology and a risk management system in compliance with ISO 27001 Information Security Management to reduce the chance of data breach for the customer and their end users.
Each of Ark’s Data Centre developments includes concurrently maintainable, low energy mechanical and electrical plant managed and maintained to deliver high levels of availability. The rigorous engineering and proven architectures, accredited to BS 25999 Business Continuity Management systems, provide reassurance of an overall lowest total cost of operation and reduced chance of downtime.
We also actively seek to minimise the impact to the environment whilst promoting social responsibility and delivering the best economic outcome, without compromising security or availability. Sustainability best practice is incorporated, at every stage including:
£ Technology, process, people and service £ Integrated Energy Management Systems (IEMS™) £ Leading technology, Sources, Use, Waste, Statutory/Fiscal landscape & Carbon accounting
£ Accredited to ISO14001 Environmental Management Systems £ Data Centre active monitoring for efficiency management recommendations
£ Free air cooling and Adiabatic cooling
Spring Park is strategically positioned and built on a legacy of over 50 years investment in Critical National Infrastructure, extending over 38 acres. Once complete the Campus will support c93,000m² of high performance, low carbon data centre and office accommodation. The secure location of Spring Park is of significant importance, it is positioned 100 miles west of London and 8 miles south of the M4 to take advantage not only of being “out of town” and surrounded by MOD facilities, but also the higher availability of air free cooling afforded by its rural location. Combine these factors with rigorous engineering and efficient energy design and the result is lower consumption of electricity, and associated CO² emissions, without compromising security or availability. In addition Spring Park is conveniently located close to Capita’s Head Office in Chippenham, thus maximising the partnership and ultimately the service delivered to the end user.
P1 at Spring Park combines Tier III high-availability with very low additional energy used in the cooling and power system losses, resulting in an annualised Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE2 than 1.3 within an IL3 security environment.
achievable at low IT loads. This results in a carbon footprint that is nearly half the industry norm providing clients with additional green credentials. The industrialised construction methods utilise 95% recyclable materials and local sourcing to produce a building envelope that combines a 25 year Design Life with a rapid construction programme and 1 hour fire rating throughout.
The systems employed ensure that P1 is highly efficient with a very low PUE2

Each Data Room comprises of seven Cold-Aisle Zones and is served by its own cooling infrastructure. The cooling system is designed to continuously maintain the ambient air temperature, humidity, rateof- change of temperature and air-filtration quality to well within the industry standard ASHRAE Thermal Guidelines (2009), published by the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers, for Class-1 devices. All the major IT hardware OEMs contribute to ASHRAE Technical Committee 9.9 and approve the ASHRAE standards.
An important feature to note is that, despite it being a fresh-air based cooling solution; the system controls humidity and prevents poor air quality from entering the critical space. Should any contaminants (smoke, particulates etc) be detected then the air intakes close and the system reverts to a fully rated DX cooling system.
The critical space is designed for industry standard ETSI/EN300-119 data cabinets that can house Class 1 or Class 2 IT equipment. The Data Room space is arranged into segregated Cold Aisle Zones, Each capable of housing 26x 800mm IT cabinets with front access and shared hot aisles for rear access to the cabinets. Smaller or larger cabinets can be fitted to suit customer requirements.
Each Cold Aisle Zone is designed to provide:
£ 26x 800mm wide IT cabinet locations, 800/1000/1200mm deep £ Net Technical Space 49m² without any plant intrusion or cross-corridors
£ Gross technical space 70m² £ Average power density of 2.24kW/2.80kVA per m² of Net Technical Space
)of less
£ Average 4.18kW/5.2kVA per 800mm cabinet location £ Peak 12kW/15kVA per cabinet £ 109kW/136kVA per Cold-Aisle Zone.
