There's news this month of a major deal to market services in fire prevention in the construction of data centres.
Global Insulation Logistics (GIL) Ltd together with insulated panel manufacturer, Eurobond, has signed an exclusive 10-year partnership agreement with Techxact, the leading consultancy and developer of data centres in the Middle East and North Africa.
This marks a major development in GIL's presence in the region, which means they will jointly market and sell their products and services in data centre construction.
Greg Hodge, founder and Director of Global Insulation Logistics said: "We have become very aware that there is a growing data centre market in the Middle East and Africa and we have been determined to make our mark in this region.
"Working with TechXact gives us the opportunity to not only partner with one of the best data centre construction companies in the Middle East, but also to have access to their premium contacts and experience in the region.
"As most UK companies are well aware of, this region is typically well known for its challenges, so working with TechXact presents us with a valuable and unique opportunity to penetrate this market effectively.
"It also strengthens our network of partners across EMEA and Asia." he said, explaining that Techxact markets a newly developed German, state-of-the-art, fire prevention system called OxyReduct.
He said it works through the extraction of oxygen, which is necessary for a fire to start in the first place, along with heat and oxygen from the atmosphere.
By removing or substantially reducing any part of this three-way fire 'triangle' - flammability levels also decline.
By introducing nitrogen the oxygen content can be reduced and held at a pre-atmosphere levels, so that any outbreak of fire can be prevented.
This innovative system relies on 'sealed' rooms, which is impossible to achieve using traditional methods of construction.
GIL's insulated construction system therefore provides the appropriate containment for them to apply their fire resistant system.
