Canberra Data Centre
By Holcim New Zealand
Canberra Data Centres (CDC) is the largest provider of data centre services across Oceania. As an expansion to its existing Hobsonville, Auckland data centre campus, CDC planned to construct a hyperscale data centre. The new data centre was to be certified to Toitū net carbonzero and Toitū enviromark diamond, aligning with the company’s sustainable practices. The construction required a low-carbon concrete slab-on-grade with a meticulously burnished finish for a post-tensioned (PT) slab design and aspiring embodied carbon targets.
The required project targets included early age strength, concrete bleed under pressure, workability, spread retention, and embodied carbon reductions. Lab and production trials were conducted on several low-carbon concrete mixes utilising 50% to 70% cement replacement with ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS).Canberra Data Centres (CDC) is the largest provider of data centre services across Oceania.
