Sweet Projects deployed OpenSpace to streamline data centre construction, ensuring quality, speed, and dispute defensibility across high‑specification infrastructure builds.
Streamlined data
centre documentation workflows
Faster quality verification
across trades
Full visual record of complex installs
Enhanced transparency for client assurance
“I have probably 5,000 photos on my phone which I should download and store somewhere, but I just don’t always have the time. Same goes for my team – if they move on, those photos leave with them. With OpenSpace, we have peace of mind knowing that the images are in the system, and quick to find. OpenSpace can’t be tampered with, which makes things easier if there’s a contractual argument or challenges with the supply chain. We have clear evidence.”
Andrew Moss, Project Director, Sweet Projects
Background
Sweet Projects is a UK-based construction firm delivering turnkey infrastructure across mission-critical sectors including data centres, defence, and energy. On a high-pressure data centre build in Longcross, the team faced a fast-track schedule, intricate mechanical and electrical packages, and the need for end-to-end traceability. Given the stringent operational standards required by data centre clients, the project demanded advanced coordination, safety, and QA/QC assurance across disciplines.
Solution implemented
To meet the demands of high-spec data centre construction, Sweet Projects introduced OpenSpace, an AI-powered 360° reality capture tool. Using helmet-mounted cameras, site teams captured full walkthroughs—mapped to floorplans and timestamped with no manual effort. This enabled daily (and even twice-daily) visual updates, streamlining documentation of complex MEP installations and high-value assets. OpenSpace’s automation allowed faster validation of work against specifications, strengthened warranty compliance, and supported broader collaboration with project stakeholders.
Outcome delivered
By adopting OpenSpace, Sweet Projects gained full transparency over data centre progress—capturing detailed records of specialist installs including cooling systems, containment, and cable runs. The platform enabled swift QA signoffs and faster issue resolution while providing a defensible, time-stamped visual record of the build. This enhanced communication with clients and consultants and reduced reliance on reactive inspections. The success of this deployment has led to OpenSpace being rolled out across additional data centre projects in the company’s pipeline.
By supporting solutions like OpenSpace that improve transparency, reduce on-site inefficiencies, and accelerate the deployment of data centres, Taronga Group recognises the critical role of digital tools in advancing compliance and resilience in critical infrastructure. This case study highlights the type of high-impact technology Taronga Group champions through its investment and innovation platforms.
