Data Centre ELV & ICT Design
for Switzerland Facilities

Zurich hosts most of Switzerland's operating and planned data centre capacity. Power and cooling water are the constraints that matter most for new builds.

Yes, at the ELV and ICT layer: cabling, security, fire interfaces and monitoring. Power and cooling design sits with your MEP engineers. In Zurich and Geneva, plan for power and cooling-water constraints from the start.

Market Context

The Switzerland Data Centre Market

Zurich hosts most of Switzerland's operating and planned data centre capacity. Power and cooling water are the constraints that matter most for new builds.

Switzerland is not an EU member, so NIS2 does not apply directly. The federal Information Security Act (ISG) has applied since 2024 and is being revised, and cantonal rules are being drafted. For OT and building systems, the same controls apply: asset inventory, segmentation, vendor access and logging.

Design Scope

Data Centre ELV & ICT Design Scope

Scope is agreed against the data centre brief and the appointed consultant's design criteria, not a fixed package.

Structured cabling and diverse routes
Main, horizontal and zone distribution, fibre backbones, and separate routes where the resilience target requires them.
Rack, cabinet & containment layouts
Rack elevations, containment routes, and separation between power and data paths within the hall.
CCTV, access control & perimeter
Perimeter, hall and white-space coverage, with access control zones for machine rooms, plant areas and staff entry.
Fire detection interfaces
Early smoke detection, alarm zoning and interfaces with suppression systems where the project specifies them.
Cooling & environmental monitoring
Sensor and control points for cooling plant, temperature, humidity and leak detection, integrated to the BMS or DCIM platform.
Power and energy monitoring
Metering and monitoring points that show power use and support capacity planning as the facility grows.
Sector FAQs

Data Centre Design FAQs — Switzerland

Our core scope is the ELV and ICT layers: cabling, security, fire detection interfaces, AV and monitoring. Mechanical and electrical power design is by your MEP and electrical engineers, and we coordinate the interfaces with them.
Yes, at the ELV and ICT layer. We design cabling, security and monitoring redundancy to the targets you confirm. We do not certify a facility against any tier or standard.
We design the metering, BMS data points and network paths that support the energy reporting that applies in Switzerland. The reporting duty and the data definitions come from the operator and the applicable rules.
