Water Management for Data Centres

Protecting Ireland’s data centre infrastructure from water risks, with minimal disruption to live operations. 

Lowflo is a trusted specialist partner for data centre water management across Ireland. Since 2006, our licensed and insured engineers have become the go-to choice for operators including Meta. 

Modern data centres place demanding requirements on water infrastructure, and the risks are real: a leak or system failure can cause catastrophic damage and costly downtime. 

Our leak detection, hydrant flow and pressure testing, fire reservoir surveys, and civil works all work to keep operations running while keeping your facility compliant with Irish standards. Our engineers work discreetly, safely, and efficiently.

Water Risks in Data Centres

Understanding the Risk

Data centres run on a zero-downtime model, so even a minor water incident can cause major damage, data loss, and disruption, potentially costing hundreds of thousands of euros an hour. 

We deliver discreet, efficient work on live sites with a minimal footprint, full compliance with standards such as IS 291 and BS9990 for fire systems, and complete site reinstatement on completion. 

Key Risks to Manage

Our Services

We offer a full range of services for data centre operators and facilities teams across Ireland: non-invasive leak detection, IS 291 and BS9990 certified fire hydrant testing, underground civil works, and fire reservoir ROV surveys, all with minimal disruption to operations. 

leak detection

Leak Detection

We use non-invasive techniques to locate leaks on live sites without interrupting operations. Early detection prevents water damage to critical server infrastructure, unplanned downtime, and costly emergency repairs. 

fire hydrant flow testing

Fire Hydrant Flow & Pressure Testing

Fire hydrant networks must be tested annually under IS 291 and BS9990, and insurers usually require it too. Our certified testing measures flow and pressure against these benchmarks, and we issue a written compliance report with advice on any remedial works.

Worker repairing a water pipe leak

Civil Works & Leak Repairs

Underground service pipes, valves, and water mains on a campus sometimes need repair. We carry out this work with minimal disruption, erecting any necessary safety barriers and trench support, and fully reinstating the site afterwards. All work meets the relevant Irish standards. 

reservoir leak detection

Fire Reservoir ROV Surveys

On-site fire water reservoirs must be inspected and cleaned periodically to keep flow and pressure adequate for fire suppression. We carry out remotely operated vehicle (ROV) surveys and cleaning without taking the reservoir out of service.

    Data Centre Water Management FAQs

    Water infrastructure is essential to a data centre, but it also poses risks. The main ones are pipe leaks (especially near electrical infrastructure), fire suppression system failures, underground service pipe failures, and non-compliance with IS 291 and BS9990. All can be managed with proactive testing and monitoring.

    We use non-invasive acoustic and pressure-based equipment, so no excavation is needed. This keeps our footprint minimal and avoids any disruption to servers or power systems. 

    Annually, in line with IS 291 and BS9990. Insurers also frequently require regular testing. Our flow and pressure testing comes with a certified written report.

    An ROV (remotely operated vehicle) survey inspects a fire water storage reservoir using a camera-equipped device deployed inside it, so the reservoir doesn’t need to be drained or taken out of service. The survey checks the walls, floor, and fittings for damage, blockages, or contamination. 

    Yes. Because even a moment of downtime can be enormously costly, every job is carefully planned in advance. We use non-invasive methods where possible, keep our footprint small, avoid disrupting power or network infrastructure, and fully reinstate the site afterwards. All engineers are briefed on site protocols before work begins. 

    We serve data centre operators and facilities teams across Ireland. From our offices in Cork and Dublin we work throughout Dublin and Leinster, and occasionally internationally.
