We've worked on
Data centre engineering across key stages of the project lifecycle
Data centres are the physical backbone of the digital economy, powering cloud services, artificial intelligence, and the systems that modern businesses and communities depend on.
In Australia, demand and investment are accelerating, with hyperscale operators, colocation, and AI-campus projects continuing to emerge.
Securing reliable power and water, navigating planning frameworks, managing environmental constraints and community concerns, and designing infrastructure that operates where reliability is critical, are complex challenges.
We work with data centre developers, operators, and investors across key stages of the project lifecycle. From early site feasibility and multi-site selection programs through to detailed design and construction phase services, we bring together a multidisciplinary team to help address those challenges.

What we do
Services for technology and data centres
We provide engineering and environmental consulting across key stages of data centre development — from initial feasibility and site selection through concept, schematic, and detailed design to construction support.
Our approach to technology and data centre developments
From feasibility to delivery
Our industry credentials
We bring the qualifications and experience relevant to complex data centre projects.
Site history and contamination risk
Data centres are frequently developed on brownfield sites with complex site histories - former industrial land or commercial precincts where contamination risk is a real consideration. Our preliminary and detailed site investigations are completed by appropriately certified Environmental Practitioner Site Contamination Specialists (CEnvP SC), certified under the Environment Institute of Australia and New Zealand (EIANZ) where required. This supports clients with the information to help assess site suitability early in the project.
Navigating planning pathways
We work within state and territory planning legislation across Australia. Our planning team has experience supporting development applications for complex technology infrastructure and industrial projects, including data centres, across multiple states.
Planning approved – digital innovation coming to Northern Tasmania
Northern Tasmania will become the home to the world's first AI Factory Zone, with Firmus securing planning approval for its $2.1 billion AI campus. Our team played a key role in preparing the planning application.
