Power and structure, your interior
Powered shell splits the project cleanly: Basaltline delivers the entitled site, the weather-tight building, utility power to the electrical rooms, and diverse fiber pathways. Your team — or ours, contracted separately — builds the data halls inside.
Operators who standardize their own hall designs use powered shell to replicate their global template on Basaltline land and power, cutting years off market entry while keeping every detail of the white space under their control.
Your hall design, on our power and structure.
What’s included
Every powered shell engagement covers these six elements — scoped to your capacity and timeline.
- Entitled, graded site. Permitted pad with stormwater, roads, fencing, and room to expand on the same parcel.
- Weather-tight building. Structure, roof, walls, and loading configured for data-center use and future phases.
- Utility power landed. Substation-fed switchgear and distribution to electrical rooms, expandable to full campus load.
- Fiber pathways. Diverse underground duct banks to the property line and a carrier-neutral meet-me vault.
- 2N-ready topology. Building and yard arranged for redundant electrical and mechanical trains as you build out.
- Fit-out freedom. Your contractors, your standards, your schedule inside the shell — with base-building support.
How it works
A five-stage path from first conversation to live capacity — with clear gates and open-book reporting throughout.
Secure the shell and its power allocation with a reservation agreement.
Your hall template adapts to the shell with our base-building coordination.
Utility feeds are landed, tested, and metered to the electrical rooms.
Your contractors construct halls while we support permits and logistics.
Integrated testing of base-building and tenant systems, then steady-state ops.
Common questions
Each shell reserves a contracted allocation from the campus substation plan, with expansion rights documented for later phases. Sizing is agreed before you sign.
Yes. Many powered-shell customers contract our construction team for the interior under a separate scope — same site team, clean interface.
Base-building systems can be operated by us under an O&M agreement, or handed to your facilities team with full documentation and training.
