Solutions:
Blast-Proof Infrastructure
Engineers designed the underground data centre with reinforced concrete walls, ceilings, and floors, capable of withstanding severe external shocks. Special attention was given to the choice of materials, structural design, and construction methodologies to create a blast-resistant environment.
Suspended Shock-Resistant Rooms
To isolate the data rooms from any physical shocks or vibrations, they were suspended using advanced shock-absorbing materials and dampeners. This ensured that even in the event of a severe external impact, the data and equipment would remain secure.
Cutting-Edge Rack Cooling Systems
We utilised modern rack cooling systems with variable refrigerant flow technology. This enables precise control over cooling parameters, optimising energy efficiency while effectively dissipating heat. The system uses a network of sensors to adapt cooling according to the needs of specific zones within the data rooms, ensuring optimal performance.
No Thermal Image
Engineers installed a layer of thermal insulation material between the data centre walls and the earth surrounding the underground facility. This prevents thermal imaging techniques from detecting any heat signatures, rendering the data centre invisible to such surveillance methods.
Results
Security: The facility exceeds industry standards for physical security, making it one of the most secure data centres globally.
