The brownfield development presented complexity due to its location in a densely populated residential area and the heritage constraints of the site. It was also the client\u2019s first project in the region. The Day 1 scope included the construction of core infrastructure and the delivery of 4.9MW of IT load across multiple data halls. Despite geo-political unrest in the region at the time, the project site was considered low risk and removed from areas of disruption.
