OCS has secured a contract to operate and maintain the primary electrical substation supporting a major data centre development, extending its expertise into a critical area of infrastructure engineering. The contract adds to a global portfolio that already includes close to 150 data centres worldwide, operating across some of the fastest-growing digital economies where digital growth is progressing at nearly twice the rate of the broader economy.
Managing Critical Power Infrastructure for Data Centres
The substation will supply main power to the facility and must operate in accordance with strict engineering, safety, and regulatory standards. OCS will deploy a dedicated on-site engineering team responsible for operational oversight and safe system performance, managing the transition from energisation to stable long-term operation while ensuring compliance with statutory competence requirements and local utility regulations.
Services include 24/7 operational monitoring, planned and preventive maintenance, structured inspections, and incident response. OCS engineers will also manage safety procedures required in high-voltage environments and coordinate specialist contractors supporting the wider facility.
Change management, configuration control, and structured vendor oversight are also within scope, ensuring the facility can meet evolving capacity demands without compromising operational integrity or regulatory standing. The on-site team will work to agree on reporting frameworks, providing the customer with clear visibility of asset performance, maintenance activity, and compliance status throughout the contract.
