Description: Colocation Data Center  

Client: confidential 

Location: Frankfurt, Germany 

Scope of Exyte: General Contractor

Exyte was the General Contractor (GC) for this enterprise colocation data center, delivered for a cloud customer. Designed to support the rapid deployment of capacity, the scope included the full fit out, including the server hall infrastructure to the rack, enabled through an extensive offsite manufacturing (OSM) and pre-fabrication strategy for the critical mechanical and electrical infrastructure.
A modular data center unit is installed on site with the help of a crane, on an Exyte data center project site in Germany.

The project was enabled through an extensive offsite manufacturing (OSM) and pre-fabrication strategy.

Key building and infrastructure elements were prefabricated and integrated in factory-controlled environments, including structural frames and supports, modular chilled water (CHW) systems, variable refrigerant flow (VRF) condenser plant rooms, and pre‑assembled electrical switchrooms. These systems were manufactured, integrated, and tested off‑site before delivery, allowing civil and architectural works on site to progress in parallel with system fabrication.  

The modular approach significantly reduced on‑site installation complexity and enabled predictable sequencing across disciplines. By shifting labor-intensive and high‑precision activities to controlled manufacturing settings, the project achieved a compressed delivery schedule while maintaining quality, coordination, and commissioning certainty.


The result was a scalable facility aligned with industry best practices for speed, resilience, and long‑term operational performance.
