We create data centers of every size at your request

Site Preparation

Before starting the construction, we prepare the land for assembling the data center, making sure that all the necessary conditions are met

• Land Clearing, Grading, and Leveling: This involves the removal of vegetation, debris, and any existing structures. It also ensures a flat and even surface for construction.
• Utility Markings: This step is about identifying and marking the locations of existing utilities, like water, electricity, gas, or telecommunication lines, to prevent any disruptions.
• Excavation and Groundwork: This involves soil testing, selecting the type of foundation, digging, and laying the groundwork for the planned data center.
• Soil Compaction and Stabilization: This step ensures the ground is strengthened enough to support the weight of the data center.
• Mobilization: This includes setting up temporary structures like the site office, storage areas, and assembling equipment to support the construction process. It also involves implementing site access controls and, if necessary, establishing temporary utilities.

Building the Data Center

During the construction stage, the team executes the building work, bringing the project to life. In this phase, the plans and specifications from the data center design phase and construction documents are realized as the physical structure is erected.

• Columns: Erected using reinforced concrete or steel, these vertical structures transfer the data center’s load to the foundations.
• Beams: These are horizontal structures that distribute the load from the slabs to the columns.
• Slabs: Concrete floors are poured, either directly on the ground for the ground floor or onto shuttering for the upper floors, in the case of a multi-story data center.
• Walls: Both external and certain critical internal walls are constructed. This might include load-bearing walls or curtain walls for non-load-bearing exteriors.

Additional Construction Components:

• Roofing: Installation of the roofing system to protect the interior from external environmental elements while supporting cooling and ventilation systems critical for temperature and humidity control.
• Exterior Walls: The data center’s exterior walls are typically made of reinforced concrete or precast concrete panels to provide structural strength and security.
• Waterproofing: Ensures that the facility remains free from water infiltration, protecting critical IT equipment and infrastructure from potential damage.
• Utilities: Electrical conduits, plumbing lines, sewage, ductwork for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, and fire suppression systems.
• Roadworks: Car parking spaces, loading docks, and an internal access road.
• Drainage: Setting up proper drainage systems to prevent waterlogging.
• Landscaping: Vegetation, tree planting, water features, and buffer plantings, which minimize the visual impact of the data center on surrounding communities.
• Security: Physical security measures, including concrete barriers, gates, K12-rated perimeter fencing, berms, a security building with a guard situated at the site’s access/egress points, biometrics, and surveillance cameras to protect against unauthorized access.
