Manchester Airport has appointed Sudlows to provide several technical upgrades to its existing data centre cooling infrastructure.

Once updated, the system is expected to deliver carbon savings of more than 31,000kg of CO² every year compared to the current equipment.

Manchester Airport's project manager Stuart Gaffney said: “Manchester is one of the leading UK airports and this new mechanical upgrade to two of our existing data centres will deliver a highly resilient and energy efficient cooling infrastructure to our facilities.

"Manchester Airport is the largest airport outside London with over 210 destinations, served by 70 airlines."

"Furthermore, Sudlows’ expertise and knowledge will be a huge benefit to our ongoing work and expansion."

Sudlows' mechanical services director Gary Frith said: “Manchester Airport has chosen the ideal time to commission this upgrade to its cooling systems.

"This project is a great example of the direct benefits that any company can witness when considering replacing its legacy cooling systems with a more environmental and energy efficient system.”

Manchester Airport serves as a global gateway for the north of the UK. It is the largest airport outside London with over 210 destinations, served by 70 airlines.
