span , metal buildings . To build a clear span metal building on a concrete slab takes less than three months .”
The core benefit , though , is that switching from air cooling to Liquid Cooling reduces cost of cooling by 95 %.
Thornock runs the business , his brother Brady the ranch , and the five other siblings are silent partners . It is Thornock ’ s career supervising major industrial builds that makes the project possible . Bringing in all the right partners and expertise has also allowed the project to come online in just a few years . Construction on Phase 1 is ongoing but the partnerships that brought it together mean progress has been rapid . Construction began on January 3 , 2022 . The current expectation is to install 10 megawatts in October 2022 , ten megawatts in November 2022 , and ten megawatts in December 2022 . Full commissioning of the first ten megawatts is expected to complete by the end of 2022 . How partnerships and knowledge shaped a Hyperscale of the future Wyoming Hyperscale is the product of a lot of experience , a lot of expertise , a lot of interest from very large companies . Unsurprisingly , it is largely focused on providing for very large Content Delivery Networks , and while Thornock cannot name the clients lined up , they have been partners in the process , too . The will to set the solution up effectively comes in from all angles .
That everybody involved knows what the market wants , could articulate it and then could make it happen actually owes less to the serendipity of the site itself and more to the people Wyoming Hyperscale has been able to draw on . Partnerships define this project ’ s success .
