Secure I.T. Environments Installs AHU and UPS Upgrades at University of Chichester

Four air handling units and two UPS upgrades installed in phased project on critical data centre

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, March 18, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Secure I.T. Environments Ltd (SITE), one of the UK’s leading design and build companies for modular, containerised and micro data centres, has today announced the completion of phased cooling and UPS upgrades at the University of Chichester, at its Bishop Otter Campus data centre.

With nearly 7,000 students and 600 staff across two campuses and 14 departments, the University of Chichester data centres are at the heart of ensuring the smooth operational running of the institution and giving students access to the resources they need to secure the best academic outcomes and reach their potential.

A phased project over 7 weeks
SITE designed and installed the Bishop Otter data centre in 2008, and this new project included the decommissioning and upgrade of four existing air handling units (AHU), replacing them with indoor Multi-DENCO^® close control air conditioning units to improve energy efficiency, which provided control over temperature and humidity. Four external condensers were also replaced, along with sensors and energy monitoring equipment. All groundworks and flooring adjustments were undertaken as part of the project, which was phased over seven weeks, in a live environment.

UPS upgrade
In addition to the AHU units, SITE upgraded the existing three UPS units in the Bishop Otter data centre with two 20kVA Riello Sentryum UPS units. These replacements were phased in the live data centre environment, so that the redundancy needed to withstand a power failure was maintained.

Hayden Tarr, IT Services Development Manager at University of Chichester, said: “We're very pleased with how the project went, which was delivered on time, and within the parameters agreed before the work commenced.”

Chris Wellfair, Projects Director at Secure I.T. Environments, added: “Data centre technology moves quickly, and when HVAC equipment begins to reach end of life there are great opportunities to benefit from new innovations and improve the resilience and energy efficiency of a data centre. We’re proud of our long-standing relationship with University of Chichester, and that they continue to intrust their critical data centres to our care.”
