“ In Northern Virginia , CyrusOne made an educated decision to go with an all-precast structural concrete building , with modular power and cooling units ,” Dorris explains . “ This enabled us to set up advanced supply-chain operations to manufacture or pre-fabricate the components we needed for the data center , which gave us significant savings in time and costs .

• 6 megawatts of critical power
STERLING II DATA CENTER ( Completed June 2016 )

• 30 megawatts of critical power
“ For example , a normal data center building has tilt-up concrete walls , which are cast on-site at the construction site . But for the Sterling II data center , we set up a separate off-site facility where we could cast pre-fabricated concrete wall panels . We then brought those panels to the construction site on trucks and used them to set up the data center building . It saved time because we didn ’ t have to stop work at the building site while the concrete walls were being cast .
“ Also , we decided to use prefabricated concrete supports in the data center building , which we could also cast off-site . This saved additional time and money because we didn ’ t have to buy a reinforced steel framework for the building or wait for it to be delivered to us . Using pre-cast concrete walls and supports shaved a couple of months off our time to market for Sterling II .”
