Typical situation no. 55
A developer has received its design firm's preliminary design for a 50 MW AI factory. Prospective customers expect liquid-cooled racks above 100 kW. The developer wants an independent view before detailed design.
WHAT IS BLOCKING
- The target densities change power distribution, protection and floor loading.
- The liquid cooling choice commits the site for years: water temperature, air share, redundancy.
- Factory-built modules bring their own interfaces and commissioning constraints.
WHAT WE DO
- Review of the power architecture and redundancy against target densities.
- Review of the cooling solution, temperatures and residual air share.
- Analysis of interfaces with factory-built modules and the testing strategy.
- List of questions and additions to request from the design firm.
WHAT YOU GET
- A written, independent opinion on the preliminary design.
- Points to fix before detailed design.
- A clear basis for discussion with the designer.
Typical format: Design review, two to four weeks. Every assignment is scoped in writing before it starts.
