How Mercury is Designing Data Centres for AI readiness
Mercury is the European leader in data centre solutions. We are a strategic partner to the world’s leading corporations, delivering highly complex projects across Europe. The technology shift to AI computing is setting new design parameters for data centres, where cooling performance has increased due to a higher computing power density. The surge in demand leads to complex installation challenges and necessitates bespoke systems to meet client commissioning needs. Our proven expertise in engineering management, off-site manufacturing, and specialist cooling strategies positions us at the forefront of AI-ready delivery.
Managing AI workloads with cooling technology
AI workloads drive higher thermal loads, which must be addressed at design stage through advanced cooling strategies. Mercury has delivered liquid-to-liquid and liquid-to-air enabled designs on some of Europe’s most advanced projects. These projects showcase our ability to bring complex AI-ready cooling solutions to site, backed by engineering expertise and a robust supply chain.
Reflecting on Mercury’s approach, Group Head of Operations in Data Centres, Alan Clinton said:
AI is redefining how data centres must be designed. At Mercury, we are embedding advanced cooling strategies, including liquid-enabled systems, into facilities from the outset. Our approach ensures adaptability as workloads scale, resilience in delivery, and compliance with the highest industry standards.
Our teams are experts in managing liquid-to-liquid systems with built-in flexibility for future retrofits or upgrades. This ensures long-term resilience and adaptability as specifications continue to evolve.
Working with leading supply chain partners
Mercury has been the engine behind the data centre revolution for over two decades. We collaborate with global cooling distribution unit manufacturers and leading consultants to ensure flexibility, choice, and integration across every project. From chillers and CRAC units to DACs and CDUs, we design and deliver distribution systems that connect seamlessly with the overall design.
Our unmatched scalability, trusted supply chain partnerships, and local knowledge on the ground mean we always deliver for our projects and clients.
Designing for adaptability and compliance
Clients need confidence that facilities can keep pace with changing requirements while maintaining continuity. Mercury adapts client designs in real time, ensuring resilience and continuity even when project specifications shift. We incorporate sustainability measures to align with ESG goals, while ensuring compliance with evolving standards and local guidelines.
Our structured approach minimises risk and amplifies success. This collaborative approach ensures a safe, sustainable, and cost-effective service every time.
