Slough data centre
Supporting UN Sustainable Development Goals
Project context
Momentum supported on plans to turn a former paint factory in Slough, UK, into a data centre. The developer acquired the site in 2022 to demolish a number of existing buildings to prepare the site for a new data centre campus.
Our work
Our work involved developing a bespoke trip generation for the site given the unique properties of a data centre, and tailoring the car park numbers based on the forecasted number of vehicle trips by staff and visitors to the site. This aimed to ensure that there was enough parking spaces at the site to accommodate the expected numbers of staff and visitors.
Client outcomes
Momentum has also provided guidance on the layout and logistics of potential site layouts, using vehicle swept path analysis, to ensure that vehicles of the required sizes can access the various units within the site to enable efficient operations.
