Our Group Development Director, Pieter Schaap, joined DCD’s Data Center Construction episode “From design to decommissioning – Managing the data center lifecycle” to discuss how we can start decarbonising, the path toward lifecycle sustainability, and much more.

'I didn’t start out expecting to work in construction. Like many, I thought of it as a world of hard hats and concrete, not data, design, and digital delivery. But modern infrastructure projects now resemble high-tech manufacturing facilities.'' shares consultant Rachel Cunningham
