Project Introduction
LPI Group is delighted to share our appointment with Mercury to deliver the installation and commissioning of the isolated lightning protection system on Interxion’s flagship PAR8 Data Centre located in Paris, France.
As the first data centre in Interxion: A Digital Realty Company’s new digital park, PAR8 offers 9,600 m² of IT-equipped space and 19 MW of customer available power, allowing high-density configurations. Therefore, our delivery of a high-performance lightning protection system is key to ensuring complete protection to the mission-critical facility against the harmful losses that a lightning strike could incur.
