RINA Data Center

As energy-intensive, highly complex critical infrastructure, data centres require an highly-specialised and multi-disciplinary approach throughout their entire lifecycle. Ensuring uptime, while guaranteeing sustainable energy demand and operating costs, as well as keeping the pace of changing regulatory requirements, are critical challenges for operators. 

RINA supports stakeholders of the data centre value chain with an integrated engineering approach that covers development and feed, design, construction, operations and long-term performance optimisation.  

By combining deep engineering expertise, in‑house testing laboratories, advanced digital monitoring and data‑driven analytics, we help you prevent failures, enable predictive maintenance and maintain full control over asset performance

With projects delivered across Europe, the USA and the UK, we help you optimising site selection, managing design and construction phases, ensure technological system integration, improve energy efficiency, and align with evolving standards.. Leveraging our competences, we also empower workers and businesses with dedicated learning paths.

How we apply our expertise and capabilities


 

 

What we offer

Asset integrity and performance assurance

We help you minimise failures and downtime, ensuring reliable, long‑term operational performance through in‑house testing laboratories and advanced engineering expertise. 

Cyber and physical security

We support data center operators in addressing cybersecurity risks across systems, networks and operational technologies, ensuring resilience, compliance and business continuity. 

Moreover, we help data center operators design and assess physical security strategies that protect critical infrastructure against unauthorized access, disruptions, and external threats. 

Environmental and social compliance for project financing

We help developers, lenders and financial institutions achieve compliance with international Environmental and Social standards (including IFC Performance Standards and Equator Principles), covering all project phases, from early investment to loan agreement, implementation and repaymen

Investment support and site selection

We support investors in evaluating technical, operational and financial risks and opportunities, ensuring that every GO / NOGO decision is grounded in reliable data, engineering soundness and long-term asset objectives. Moreover, we offer integrated site assessments, combining infrastructure availability, market conditions, climate resilience, regulatory constraints, and environmental factors to identify the most suitable locations for data center development. 

Project Management Consultancy (PMC)

We provide independent monitoring, assessment and advisory services across the entire project lifecycle, from design review and construction management to cost, quality and contract management.  

System integration

We help you integrate hardware, software, networks, sensors and platforms into a single, coherent system, governing interfaces, data models and communications across multiple vendors and stakeholders, while addressing cybersecurity, EMC, and compliance requirements. 

Sustainability and energy efficiency

We deliver advanced energy diagnostics, performance assessments and optimization strategies to reduce energy consumption, improve thermal and airflow efficiency, and unlock cost‑saving opportunities, while supporting alignment with energy standards and sustainability requirements.
