North Sweden Hyperscale​

Since 2011, hyperscale data centre facilities totalling approximately 60 MW have been developed in northern Sweden as part of a major European campus development. Bravida delivered electrical, mechanical and HVAC installations, later also acting as General Contractor, with retrofit works ongoing since 2016 across the facilities.

South Sweden Data Centre​

Bravida delivered the design and installation of fire alarm systems for a 20,000 sq m data centre in southern Sweden for a confidential client. Bravida also provides ongoing maintenance of electrical, HVAC and fire protection systems for the facility as part of the overall technical services delivery scope and framework.

Stockholm Colocation​

In Stockholm, Sweden, Equinix operates three data centres, SK1, SK2 and SK3, across separate sites, forming a highly interconnected and technically advanced environment overall. Bravida delivers IT power installations, electrical systems and refurbishment works, with ongoing projects in complex and demanding live operating environments.

Data centre Oslo

Oslo Hyperscale

OSL1 is a hyperscale data centre developed by Skygard in Hovinbyen, Oslo, Norway, designed as a secure and high-performance facility with approximately 20 MW capacity. Bravida delivers electrical, automation and ICT installations. Works started in 2024 as part of the overall project delivery and implementation phase for the development.

From our first data centre project in 2011 to some of the largest facilities in the Nordics today, we have learned that successful delivery is built on experience, planning and strong collaboration.

Designing the Data Centre of tomorrow

We design and deliver future-ready data centres with a focus on: 

  • Sustainability – We aim to achieve climate neutrality by 2045 with solutions like liquid cooling and heat recovery to reduce energy use and reuse excess heat.
  • Health and safety – A secure work environment with a strong safety culture and dedicated health and safety staff on site.
  • Quality – High quality is ensured through standardized processes and continuous inspections.
  • Time –  Projects are completed according to schedule with skilled planners and efficient tools.
  • Cost – We reduce financial risks through structured methods and centralised purchasing.

Data Centre FAQs

This guide and FAQ are made to answer common questions. It outlines the critical phases of a data centre project – from initial design to lifecycle maintenance – to ensure your infrastructure meets international standards and future demands.

 

Successful data centre delivery starts with careful planning and seamless coordination. An experienced partner can take responsibility for the entire process, helping to ensure that the facility meets current requirements while remaining scalable and future-ready.

  • Design engineering: Technical planning brings together critical systems such as power supply, cooling and physical security.
  • General Contractor: A single point of contact simplifies communication and reduces coordination risks between technical disciplines, including electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems.

Choosing a partner with full-chain responsibility – from design to installation – significantly reduces coordination risks. A General Contractor provides structured project management and financial stability, ensuring the project stays on schedule. By centralising procurement, you also minimise financial risks and benefit from standardised quality control across all technical disciplines.

 A future-proof data centre must be adaptable. Key elements include:

  • Scalability: Ensuring electrical and cooling systems can be expanded as data requirements grow.
  • Technological Agility: Preparing for high-density racks and evolving hardware requirements through flexible layouts.
  • Redundancy: Ensuring reliable power and cooling systems to maintain operations during equipment failure or maintenance.

Sustainability is no longer optional; it is a core requirement for modern data centres. Leading solutions include:

  • Liquid Cooling: A highly efficient method for managing heat from high-performance computing (HPC) environments.
  • Heat Recovery: Capturing waste heat from the data centre and repurposing it for local district heating networks.
  • Energy Efficiency: Supporting climate neutrality goals through innovative power management and reduced energy consumption.

Safety is a cultural priority. In addition to the final security and fire protection systems, the construction phase requires:

  • Dedicated Safety Personnel: Ensuring a secure workplace and adherence to strict health and safety protocols.
  • International Standards: Building according to global benchmarks to ensure the facility is recognised for its quality and reliability.

 

Many customers do not need a brand new data centre building; they need their existing facility to work more efficiently.

Retrofitting involves upgrading existing technical systems – such as replacing old UPS units or cooling fans – to enhance performance and lower PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness). This is a cost-effective way to extend the life of an asset.

 

The terms are often used interchangeably. Today, data centre (or data center) is the most common term and describes a facility that houses servers, networking equipment, power systems, cooling infrastructure and other critical systems. A server room, computer room or data hall may refer to a specific area within a data centre or, in some cases, the facility as a whole.
