M3 DATA CENTRE

The M3 data centre is one of Melbourne’s largest, and PCF delivered two stages of the program for Kapitol Group. Together they account for more than 42,000m² of data halls, close to 15,000m³ of concrete and almost 2,900 precast panels, formed across twelve months of works. Every floor was built to a 6m height to suit the mechanical and electrical fit-out that follows.

Data centre work rewards repetition done well. PCF ran tight, repeatable pour cycles across both stages, holding a consistent floor cycle from start to finish and meeting each program in turn. Precast panels were installed alongside the in-situ structure to keep the floors moving at the pace the program demanded, and the methodology proven on the earlier stage carried directly into the later one.
