Took on early design, feasibility and permit work
Data Centres: Boom and Backlash: FiveNines hired for Casablanca AI siteBackground
The Moroccan job puts FiveNines in charge of the project team: design management, technical governance, consultant coordination and procurement. Its next deliverable is a coordinated design package, with permit applications to the Moroccan authorities. The site is the first of 180 MW its client plans in the country.
The group is headquartered in the UK. It was formed through a management buyout led by Gerry Curran, its chief executive, a construction professional with more than 30 years in the industry. In July 2026 it completed a 9.6 MW data centre in Europe for an unnamed international client, built to LEED Gold standards.
It is a separate business from 5NINES, a US data-centre provider with a similar name. The Casablanca brief, announced on 8 October 2026, takes FiveNines from European delivery into early-stage planning for a client that still has its permits and grid connection to win.
