Typical situation no. 11
A warehouse owner has an 8,000 m² building near Marseille that has been empty for a year. An operator has offered to lease it and install "box-in-box" data halls. The owner wants to know what the conversion will cost before signing a twelve-year lease.
WHAT IS BLOCKING
- A logistics slab is designed for distributed loads, not necessarily for 1.5-tonne GPU racks resting on a few feet.
- The roof and facade must accommodate the chillers, and the surrounding area the generators and fuel storage.
- The existing site's power supply rarely exceeds a few hundred kilowatts.
WHAT WE DO
- Technical site visit: structure, slab, clear height, roof, access, neighbours.
- Check of grid capacity and connection options.
- Outline layout: data halls, electrical rooms, cooling, generators, storage.
- Estimate of the works to be borne by the owner and by the operator.
WHAT YOU GET
- A feasibility report with an outline layout plan.
- The list of works and their order of magnitude.
- The technical clauses to include in the lease.
Typical format: Feasibility study, three to four weeks. Every assignment is scoped in writing before it starts.
