Site selection
A site is more than land near power.
A digital-infrastructure site needs a coherent relationship between its physical footprint and the systems that will serve it.
Power and fibre
Capacity, connection and route diversity
Land and planning
Control, constraints and approvals
Utilities and delivery
Serviceability, access and staging
Six connected disciplines.
Power, fibre, land, planning, utilities and delivery are separate disciplines. They are also connected: a weakness in one can change the practical value of the rest. Operator demand shapes what the combined system needs to support.
- Land determines space, interfaces, access and staging.
- Planning governs the pathway through authority and community requirements.
- Utilities and fibre influence resilience and operational design.
- Demand and delivery partners define what must actually be built.
Assess the relationships early.
Strong projects are not created by a single favourable attribute. They are advanced by testing the interaction between the whole system before a commitment is represented as certain.
