Cryptocurrency Mining Campus Planning & Design

PTS is working with a midwest oil & gas company to correct a situation involving several other crypto-mining hosting companies who had provided quotes based on inaccurate assumptions and that lacked a clear design, plan, and budget.  PTS was able to create a conceptual site plan, and phased in construction approach to optimize capital spend and provide a clear path towards profitability.

Highlights:

  • Conceptual Design & Budgeting Services
  • Detailed Engineering Services
Crypto Mining Campus

Situation

  • Midwest mining operation with large natural gas reserves
  • Multiple used 22MW aeroderivative gas turbines being purchased
  • No site plan, no formal MEP design, and no detailed construction budget
  • Signed LOIs with three existing miner hosting companies based on poor assumptions

Impact

  • Failure to meet LOI deadlines puts inside and outside investment capital at risk
  • Without proper planning and engineering technical mistakes could potentially become catastrophic

Resolution

  • Provide a Conceptual Site Plan and Electrical One-Line for budgeting
  • Develop a phased construction concept to optimize capital spend and profitability
  • Prepare to flow directly into bid, permits, construction, and operational phases
  • Installing 2 turbines for ~40MW to supply 24 x 1.3MW bitcoin mining containers
  • Plan to build 5 turbines ~80MW for both containers and immersion-cooling facility
  • Achieve electric generation cost < $0.025 / kWH and sold at $0.05-0.075 / kWH

Situation

  • Have two (2) aging edge data centers, some colocation, & some cloud
  • On-premises infrastructure needs have been shrinking
  • Increased risk of downtime to operations because of higher failure rates
  • Increased operational costs due to increased scheduled and unscheduled maintenance
  • Wasted and unused IT space

Resolution

  • Improved hybrid data center strategy leveraging previous investments
  • Designed and built new edge data center in the mixed-use facility using repurposed adjacent space
  • Refreshed the 18-floor IDF stack

Outcome

  • Updated the strategic plan for data center operations
  • New, reliable, resilient, primary edge data center in the mixed-use facility
