We identify potential locations that ensure secure electricity supply, sufficient energy availability, safety, proximity to other infrastructure, and good logistical connections. A data center can be built using prefabricated structures and placed either in an existing building or in a newly constructed facility. On behalf of the client, we also handle permitting by preparing and submitting building and action permit applications and managing negotiations with municipalities and cities.
We identify suitable sites for a data center, both for new builds (greenfield) and for utilizing existing properties (brownfield). The assessment covers reliability of electricity supply, sufficient capacity, availability of telecommunications connections, and logistical access. We also evaluate safety, proximity to infrastructure, zoning considerations, and permit requirements. The client receives a comprehensive overview of potential sites and their readiness for data center development.
We conduct preliminary studies required for a data center’s grid connection and assess different options for implementation. This includes mapping the connection possibilities with national and local grid operators, defining the appropriate voltage level, and analyzing the technical conditions of the connection point. We also evaluate capacity needs, connection reliability, and potential reinforcement requirements in the grid.
We carry out preliminary studies on the external network connections a data center requires. This includes mapping available operators and connection routes, assessing redundancy options, and ensuring that connections are secure with minimal latency. Both national and international connections are considered, and we review different technologies such as fiber-optic and backbone network solutions. As a result, the client receives clear documentation on available WAN connections, their technical requirements, and the measures needed to implement them.
Data Center Project Design and Implementation – Webinar Recording
Data centers are a critical part of modern digital infrastructure, and their construction requires thorough preparation and close collaboration between multiple stakeholders. This recording walks through the key factors that determine the success of data center projects, from design to implementation.
The webinar explores how financial foundations, location, and risk analyses affect project success, and why clear communication between the client, designers, contractors, and consultants is essential. Through practical examples, it illustrates what effective project communication looks like and how schedules and risks can be identified and managed from the early stages. It also examines how to ensure the right expertise and sufficient resources throughout the entire project lifecycle.
The recording provides practical insights and tools to help ensure a smooth and successful execution of your next data center project.
