The SAFE Foundation System from Arx Pax Labs, Inc., is a thoroughly patented, precast, prefabricated, modular three-part foundation system.
Impervious to floods and earthquakes, SAFE allows data centers to be located in areas of low cost, "unbuildable" land, like the urban flood plains surrounding the SF Bay Area. Unlike traditional base isolation using lead rubber isolators, triple friction pendulums, or rollers, SAFE also provides vertical isolation — impossible with traditional methods.
SAFE uses water as a buffer medium, which can also provide an excellent heat sink for hydro-thermal cooling.
If you want your data center to be the most resilient to natural forces (zero down time) and the most sustainable you owe it to yourself to find out more. The City of San José has already provided the path to entitlements and permits.
