Data Centers

Engineering, development and advanced solutions for data centers with fast deployment, firm and competitive power and a minimal footprint, integrating power, thermal management and efficiency in future-ready architectures.

CADE develops, designs and integrates AI and HPC data centers with firm power, thermal management and heat reuse, from powered land to commercial operation.

Developers who need land with available power and a firm grid-connection date; hyperscale, colocation and AI operators deploying high-density racks; funds assessing the technical risk of a project; and industries that can make use of the data center’s waste heat.

Solutions

Data center services

We cover the project with five services, from design to carbon capture. In energy and thermal management we also supply the components, directly or with technology partners.

Design

We design high-density data centers for AI and HPC with decisions that set their availability, efficiency and capacity to grow without rebuilding from the very start.

Concept design
Detailed design (RIBA Stage 4)
Uptime Institute standards: Tier III and Tier IV
High-density architectures for AI and HPC
WUE, PUE and CUE optimization

Project development and management

We secure land and power early and organise permitting to shorten the path until the facility starts operating.

Early-stage development (greenfield)
Land with secured power (powered land)
Ready-to-build project (RTB)
Commercial operation (COD)
Fast-track permitting
Project engineering
Project management

Energy

Firm power around the clock with on-site generation, grid-connected or off-grid, and control over the cost and origin of energy.

Off-grid and grid-connected supply
Photovoltaics, including high-density PV
Agrivoltaics
Batteries (BESS)
Fuel cells
Gas engines

Thermal management

We remove heat without consuming water and reuse it instead of dissipating it, reducing the facility’s consumption and turning it into a resource for nearby processes and facilities.

Direct-to-chip liquid cooling (DLC)
Free cooling and dry cooling
High-temperature architectures
Heat pumps
Thermal energy storage (TES)
Heat recovery and reuse
Industrial and municipal heat synergies

Carbon-negative computing

Carbon capture at source, direct air capture and production of green molecules and materials so that the data center removes more carbon than it emits.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS)
Direct air capture (DAC)
Hydrogen (H₂) integration
Renewable gas: biogas, biomethane and advanced biofuels
Green molecules and materials

Project · 3D Tour

Data center campus with on-site generation

Preliminary design of a campus of five data centers with 240 MW IT, powered by fuel cells, with a photovoltaic substation and a gas regulating and metering station. The 3D model tours the actual site and shows the technical data sheet for each building.
