Panel: How are construction teams balancing speed to market with evolving design requirements?

10 Sep 2024
Radisson Blu Conference Stage
Datacloud Africa

As data centre demand increases and becomes more complex, construction timelines are stretching, with builds taking up to 50% longer than planned. In order to deliver facilities designed to cope with the anticipated computing demands driven by AI, streaming, and cloud services, as well as meeting sustainability and CSR requirements, there's an imperative to build quicker and far more efficiently than before. This panel will address the following questions:

  • How is macro environment volatility impacting materials supply? And what contingency strategies are being put in place to combat delays?
  • Is modular becoming the new standard?
  • What new technologies are being employed?
