Case Study: Assessing Land, Geotechnical, & Power Constraints During Site Selection to De-Risk Data Centres Built in New Environments
- Balancing site selection factors such as local incentives, proximity to provincial grid capacity, water availability, and utility infrastructure to minimise construction complexity and energization risk
- Comparing regional site characteristics across Canada to identify locations with the most feasible build conditions, reducing downstream construction risk and improving delivery certainty
- Evaluating the impact that freezing conditions in Canada have on soil variability, permafrost risks, and regional ground profiles: what must be considered to reduce uncertainty and inform early site viability decisions?
