Operating Models
EPC
Engineering, Procurement and Construction
The EPC model focuses on providing the complete Engineering, Procurement, and Construction of edge data centers, from initial concept to final handover. In this model, Planck designs, builds, and commissions the facility, delivering it to the client with a high degree of customization. This model is ideal for clients who wish to own and operate their data centers from day one but require expert support during the building process.
Features
Custom Design and Engineering
Planck’s experts work closely with the client to design a data center tailored to the specific needs of the business, taking into account factors like load, density, and latency requirements.
End-to-End Construction
We manage the procurement of materials, construction, and commissioning of the data center to ensure it meets the required specifications and is ready for use.
Turnkey Solution
We offer a turnkey solution that covers everything from initial design to operational handover, making the process seamless for clients.
Scalability & Flexibility
The EPC model ensures that the infrastructure is built to scale, with future expansion options available for clients as their needs grow.
Project Management Expertise
Planck manages the entire project, ensuring on-time delivery, adherence to budget, and high-quality construction standards.
Energy-Efficient Systems
As with the BOOT model, the EPC model also incorporates green and sustainable design principles, optimizing the use of energy and reducing environmental impact.
Compliance & Regulatory Adherence
The EPC model ensures that the data center complies with all necessary local regulations, standards, and industry best practices, including data privacy laws, cybersecurity regulations, and environmental standards.
Sustainability of EPC Model
Energy-Efficient Infrastructure
The design focuses on reducing energy consumption through techniques such as hot and cold aisle containment, efficient power management, and cooling innovations.
Use of Renewable Energy
Solar panels, wind turbines, and other renewable energy technologies are integrated into the data center design to ensure that the facility’s operations are sustainable.
Carbon Footprint Reduction
We prioritize reducing the carbon footprint through the use of energy-efficient equipment and eco-friendly materials. Additionally, energy-saving systems, such as free cooling and advanced cooling techniques, are incorporated into the design.
Water Conservation
Water-efficient cooling and other technologies help conserve water in the data center while maintaining optimal operational temperatures.
Sustainable Materials
Planck uses sustainable building materials and construction practices to reduce the environmental impact of the facility.
Green Certifications
Our edge data centers are built to meet global green certifications, such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method), and other sustainable building standards.
