Infrastructure

Designed as a system.
Assessed as a whole.

An AI-ready facility depends on more than an individual specification. Power, cooling, connectivity and delivery must work together around the intended workload.

The assessment framework

Connected decisions.
Stronger foundations.

Our assessment approach connects four interdependent areas. Project-specific technical and commercial studies establish the requirements and performance targets for a development decision.

Development assessment framework

01 / Power

Begin with the energy pathway.

A proposed capacity is only meaningful when there is a credible path to supplying it.

A

Availability & timing

Assess potential supply, connection requirements, utility studies and the relationship between energisation and development phasing.

B

Cost & procurement

Evaluate power pricing assumptions and potential procurement structures as part of commercial feasibility.

02 / Systems

Let the workload inform the design.

A

Cooling & density

Evaluate cooling options against expected equipment density, water availability, energy use and maintainability.

B

Connectivity & resilience

Assess network access, potential route diversity and the resilience requirements of the intended customers.

03 / Delivery

A sequence of decisions.
A clearer path forward.

01

Screen

Review location, land constraints, utility prospects and commercial fit.

02

Validate

Develop technical studies, cost assumptions and the approvals pathway.

03

Align

Bring partners, commercial requirements and financing conditions together.

04

Decide

Proceed only when the project has a substantiated basis for commitment.

Development decision framework. Project schedules depend on the evidence and agreements established at each stage.

Campus design

Explore the
physical framework.

A modular campus study connects data halls, energy, cooling and landscape in one masterplan.

Illustrative campus design. Final configuration and capacity depend on site-specific studies and approvals.
