Data centres
& robotics.

Hyperscale builds and humanoid robotics draw on the same scarce components and materials. We test the suppliers behind them, and trace the materials back to source.

What we test
Equipment and EPC supplier assurance
Humanoid and robotics supply chains
Material tracing, component to mine

Container port elevation A densely detailed front-elevation line drawing of a container port in brass on deep navy. A large container ship with a raked bow, hull plating, draft marks and an accommodation block carries eleven bays of stacked containers. Two ship-to-shore gantry cranes stand on the quay: one with its latticed boom lowered over the ship, a trolley and a container suspended on the spreader, the other with its boom raised. To the right a rail-mounted gantry spans stacked yard containers. Water is drawn as layered wave lines with reflections; the quay carries crane rails, bollards, fenders and mooring lines.
