Innovation in the Built Environment: Harnessing the Power of Reality Capture with Evercam
May 17, 2023
In a world where information demands continue to increase, the need for data centres is growing fast. This surge has led to the growth of dedicated facilities and the emergence of new players in the market. Thor Equities has launched Form8tion Data Centers, a company that focuses on creating custom data centre solutions. Their approach is unique, catering to individual client needs rather than a one-size-fits-all model.
Their first major project, Madrid One, located in Fuenlabrada, Madrid, spans 70 acres and includes five independent data centres. The project, valued at approximately €600 million, emphasizes sustainable practices, such as low-carbon materials, water conservation, and renewable energy sources.
A closer look at the architectural renderings of this facility reveals five independent data centers spread across a 70-acre landscape. Spearheading this venture are industry veterans – Simon Burrage and Roy Gibbens. Their collective expertise ensures that Madrid One is not just about scale but also about integrating cutting-edge technology and sustainable practices.
