deliver 20MW of compute power reliably and rapidly to any location in the world. And from right here on Teesside.”
The AI: 20 allows for phased deployment in just 12 to 15 months, significantly reducing lead time compared to traditional data centre construction.
This is exactly the kind of solution the industry is seeking, with reports showing 60 per cent of operators plan to deploy some form of modular or prefabricated design in the next three years.
Durata’ s delivery model is supported by its strong local footprint in the North- East. Every module is engineered and fabricated in-house at the 80,000-sq ft Durata Fabrication facility in County Durham.
Once complete, they are shipped globally via Teesside Freeport, showcasing the region’ s strong logistics network. Durata is the only company in the UK that controls the entire production process and installation of modular data centres at such scale, delivering the speed, quality and scalability demanded by clients.
This worldwide capability is bolstered by its recent expansion into the US, with a new entity established in Atlanta, Georgia. That move ensures seamless installation and after-sales support across the Atlantic.
The foundation of this capability lies in the Durata Group’ s heavy and ongoing investment in its UK manufacturing base, driven by the strategic acquisition of Tolley Fabrication in May.
Alan Tolley, project director at Durata Fabrication, said:“ The committed investment in additional computer numerical control( CNC) machinery and robotics enables our fabricators and engineers to work faster, smarter and with increased accuracy. The equipment doesn’ t replace our incredible team; it strengthens them.
“ By handling the repetitive tasks with pinpoint precision, the technology significantly improves our speed and turnaround time, allowing our people to focus on the higher-level engineering and quality control that defines Durata’ s product.”
Precision – Computer numerical control( CNC) machinery offers both speed and pinpoint accuracy.
This period of explosive growth has triggered a major team expansion.
From its Middlesbrough head office, Durata is providing attractive opportunities for local talent to build careers in this exciting, growing sector.
The focus is particularly strong in core engineering and fabrication trades, with demand for skilled professionals including welders, fabricators, mechanical engineers and electrical engineers.
“ The Durata Group is going from strength to strength. The launch of our gamechanging AI: 20 solution showcases our ambition,” John said.
“ Adding a US entity in Atlanta has cemented our global reach, and this is just the beginning. We’ re expanding rapidly and we’ re growing our team to ensure we continue to lead the way in the global critical infrastructure market.”
