Consider each layer of a building, with a different strategy for each which responds to the life expectancy of each layer..
Ensuring adaptability and reliability.For all the emphasis on innovation, Lincoln reiterates that data centres are mission-critical: even minor downtime can be cripplingly expensive for operators.
This means that adopting new methods - be they industrial construction techniques or cooling advancements - demands careful piloting and collaboration.He stresses that Edged’s approach is built on tested engineering principles, explaining:.‘Everyone is on a learning curve… The workloads that exist now were unimaginable only a few years ago, so it’s not about replicating the old formula - it’s about rethinking it.’.
By leveraging both in-house expertise and external partnerships, Edged looks to mitigate risks while still pushing the boundaries of efficiency and sustainability..Looking ahead: The data centre as a driver of change.
Data centres are evolving from passive consumers of power to active participants in broader energy ecosystems.
Lincoln views this trend as opening doors to cross-sector collaboration, particularly in areas like distributed power generation and advanced manufacturing.This way of working also allows us to test things very quickly.
We can test different scenarios and the modelling will follow.Design decisions become even better, improving how things flow and ultimately creating better outcomes.. Chip Thinking®️ and new frontiers in construction project management.
The speed of iteration made possible by Chip Thinking®️ also affects how people work.It becomes very useful to have collaborative working spaces where people come together with their ideas and insights.
