about kapitol
Kapitol is the largest data centre builder in Australia. Kapitol is delivering M3, leveraging its growing expertise in data centre delivery and partnership with NEXTDC. Our data centre construction expertise spans consultation, design, cost planning and commissioning.
Data centres do not produce emissions during normal operation and do not involve manufacturing processes.
Backup generators are installed for emergency use online (such as power outages) and are tested periodically in line with environmental regulations. Stringent environmental controls are in place.
Residents can monitor local air quality at epa.vic.gov.au/check-air-and-water-quality
No. The facility has been designed in coordination with the local electricity network to ensure there is sufficient capacity for the surrounding community, and the data centre.
Operational noise is low level and primarily generated by cooling systems. The facility is designed to meet strict environmental noise limits and includes acoustic treatments to minimize impacts on nearby homes.
Data centres enable essential digital services that are relied on daily. As demand for online services and AI continues to grow, new infrastructure is required to support this increasing need.
The project is also delivering upgraded shared use path connections to the Stony Creek Trail, increased landscaping around the site and a new local café that has been open for several years – Alfa@DC.
NEXTDC is an exciting ASX 100-listed technology company enabling business transformation through innovative data centre outsourcing solutions, connectivity services and infrastructure management software.
