Gradiant Wins Contract For AI Data Centre Water Facility In UK
KUALA LUMPUR, April 3 (Bernama) -- Gradiant, a global leader in advanced water and wastewater solutions, has secured a contract to design and deliver a water treatment facility for a hyperscale data centre in Didcot, Oxfordshire, in the United Kingdom (UK).
In a statement, the company said the project will support one of the world’s foremost artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud infrastructure providers and is being developed on the site of a former power station.
“AI is driving one of the largest infrastructure buildouts in history, and water is quickly becoming the limiting factor. At Gradiant, we are building the water backbone for the next generation of industry.
“This project reflects our strategy to partner with leading infrastructure players to deliver resilient, sustainable solutions where reliability is non-negotiable,” said Gradiant chief executive officer, Prakash Govindan.
As data centre growth accelerates, water is becoming a defining constraint in development and scaling, with operators seeking partners that can ensure reliable water performance across the entire facility.
Gradiant will deliver an integrated solution covering treatment, recycling and zero liquid discharge to support cooling operations while reducing water use and environmental impact.
The project underscores the company’s Site-Wide Peace of Mind approach, which integrates treatment, reuse and operational reliability under a single provider to reduce risk, simplify operations and ensure consistent performance.
According to Gradiant, this project further strengthens its role at the intersection of water and AI infrastructure, where performance, sustainability, and reliability are essential to success.
