Who we are

We design and deliver data centres, from module to campus.

Our engineers have commissioned national facilities in Africa, and designed data centres in Africa and Southeast Asia. We start from your site and the power it has. Design and field delivery sit in one team, from the first design to handover.

Project locations: Harare, Zimbabwe (3); Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo (1); Cyberjaya, Malaysia (1); USA (1); China (3)

Energy efficiency

Efficiency is designed in, and measured.

Energy efficiency · from grid to IT load

Power chain from grid to IT load with metering points
1Cooling strategyChosen from rack density and climate: free cooling where the climate allows, then chilled water or liquid cooling.
2Losses along the power chainEach conversion step, from transformer to UPS to distribution, is selected and loaded to keep losses low.
3Metering pointsMeters at the incomer, the UPS output, the IT distribution and the cooling plant, so the main losses can be traced.
4How PUE is measuredTotal facility energy divided by IT energy, at a stated boundary and over a stated period, as defined in ISO/IEC 30134-2.
5Solar and storageConsidered from the site and the grid: on-site solar and battery storage where they reduce cost or support resilience.
PUE =Total facility energyIT energy

We state targets only for a specific site, from its climate, load and power supply.

How we work

One path from first design to handover.

01First designWithin 24 hours · free. Block plan and power estimate, from your site, load and available power.
02Proposal5 working days · free. Recommended layout and system design, with design inputs for you to confirm.
03Design lockAgreed in writing. Site, power and requirements fixed; design documents agreed for delivery.
04DeliveryLed on site. Detailed design, equipment supply and installation, by a team we build locally and led by our project manager.
05Testing and handoverOn site. Integrated testing, test records and handover documents. Support continues after handover.

What you receive at design lock

Single-line diagram (SLD)Grid to rack, with redundancy and load-shedding priority.
Data hall layoutsRack rows, containment, plant and service rooms.
Cooling system diagramsPlant, pipework or air paths, duty and standby units.
Bill of quantities (BoQ)Main equipment and quantities for each phase.
Commissioning planTests, sequence and acceptance criteria for handover.

Your approval at each gate

Each step starts only when you approve the one before it.

One team throughout

G2MAX stays accountable from first design to handover.

Documents you keep

Every step ends in documents that are yours to keep.

Our organisation

The same people, from first design to handover.

90+

engineers and delivery specialists in our long-standing network

Our core team leads design, client engagement and quality control on every project. Delivery is carried out with a network of 90+ engineers and specialists we work with repeatedly, about half technical and half on-site delivery, selected for each project.

01 One design team

The engineers who draw the first design stay with the project to handover.

02 Our project manager on site

Leads delivery on site and reports to you at every gate.

03 A delivery team built locally

Recruited and trained in the project country, working with the right local partners.
