GRIDROCK – DATA CENTER
Data Center Fact Sheet
GridRock Data Center’s development (the “Site”) presents a favorable opportunity for customers and partners seeking a modern, hyper-efficient and highly secure data center. GridRock is actively seeking customers and partners interested in building datacenters to suit in our 4 million square feet of available space.
For this purpose, GridRock Data Center has invested in significant feasibility and engineering studies on the Site. The highlighted findings of those studies are shared in this document.
Strategic Location
The Site is located inside a former limestone mine in the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River, strategically located in the St. Louis. MO metropolitan area in the Village of Valmeyer, IL. The Site is easily accessible by air, rail and road –
• 25 minute drive from downtown St. Louis
• 45 minute drive from St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL)
• 300 mile drive from Chicago
• One day’s driving distance from 29 States
Unique Physical Attributes
The Site has unique attributes favoring the development of a secure and efficient data center –
- • Hardened limestone structure eliminating the need for earthwork, foundation, superstructure and roofing construction
- • Physically secure from both natural (flood, earthquake, fire, tornado, etc.) and man-made disasters (EMP, etc.)
- • Naturally ventilated with multiple openings for fresh air requirements
- • 58 degree ambient temperature year-round for cooling efficiency
- • 100 million gallon in-cavern lake for cooling efficiency
- • Ceiling heights range from 30-50 feet throughout cavern enabling easy access
- • Logistics infrastructure in place including multiple access roads, in-cavern roads, loading docks, parking, office space, etc.
Proven Commercial Location
The Site is a proven commercial space today with 1 million square feet leased to several long term tenants –
• US National Archives and Records Administration – storage and office space
• Cold food storage – multiple tenants
Power Profile
The Site benefits from being in a historically low power rate region and near multiple substations and power generation plants.
- ~$0.04 per kWh power cost
- 34.5kV option available to support 10MW datacenter immediately
- Options scoped with Ameren to significantly expand capacity by building own substation that taps directly into 138kV transmission line which traverses top of the Site. — New substation options to build just outside or in-cavern
Fiber Profile
The Site has the following advantages to meet the fiber requirements of a datacenter –
• Proximity to multiple fiber carriers with diverse routes and topologies
— 2.5ms latency to St. Louis
— 7-10ms latency to Chicago
• Level 3, Spectrum, HTC, Windstream, AT&T identified options
— Level 3 long haul route adjacent to the property and available
Cooling Profile
The Site has the following advantages to meet the cooling requirements of a datacenter –
• Well ventilated, 58 degree ambient temperature year-round
• Water for cooling
— 100 million gallon in-cavern lake
— Massive Mississippi aquifer adjacent
Renewable Energy
The Site has option to incorporate renewable energy as a part of the data center development –
▪ Wind Farm – mature development plans establish feasibility of adding 38 wind turbines to generate up to 100MW power
