Berlin Data Centre – Turning Around a Distressed Expansion

Delivering certainty through precision and milestone-driven recovery.

 

Overview

Peractio was engaged by a leading data centre owner-operator to recover and deliver a colocation expansion project in Berlin, adding 2 MW of additional power and cooling capacity to an existing live facility.

The Challenge

The project was behind schedule with incomplete installations and coordination issues. The expansion had to progress without impacting live data halls, creating significant technical risk.

Our Approach

Peractio assumed responsibility for project delivery and close-out, focusing on milestones and introducing a Last Planner system. We devised a temporary infrastructure solution to provide resilient power and cooling, simplifying reporting and directly engaging with vendors to restore structure and accountability.

Results

Network Early Access and a revised Ready for Service milestone were both achieved on time. Performance and coordination improved measurably, and Peractio continued to lead close-out and defects management.

Strategic Value

Our intervention strengthened the client’s reputation with their end customer and led to further deployments across other distressed projects, reinforcing Peractio’s position as a specialist in milestone-driven delivery
