Callio Data Center Campus Pyhäjärvi

Callio Data Center Campus Pyhäjärvi area locates logistically in middle of Finland, between cities Jyväskylä and Oulu at crossroad of highways 4 and 27. DC area is extremely large and still expandable. The 60-hectare large area belongs to Pyhäsalmi Mine. The City of Pyhäjärvi has started preparing zoning on the area.
 

 

The area has very good possibilities to establish also underground Data Center facilities. The ground and soil itself is very stable bedrock and no additional geological investigation are needed. The geological and geotechnical conditions around the mine are well-known due to the relative long mining history and related investigations in different projects. In addition of the local mining company has skillfull workers and tools to excavate underground spaces. The excavated rock material could be utilized in the Underground Mine as a back fill material.
 

 

Data Center area, mine and local residential area create unique location and great opportunities to utilize waste heat that DC produces. These are e.g. local district heating network, heating and ventilation of mine spaces and local green house. For water cooling purposes Pyhäjärvi lake is next to the site. Feasibility study for Pumped Hydro Energy Storage is on-going to the mine area.

 

Pyhäsalmi Mine is one of the deepest mine in Europe; 1.4 km deep. Its infrastructure consists of different spaces on different depths e.g. cafeteria and sauna on the bottom and hundred kilometers of tunnels. There are a lot of spaces available for versatile operational, research and development activities if needed.


 

Pyhäjärvi area is a great place to work and live. There are good basic services available from the community; e.g. schools, day care, health care and lot of possibilities to hobby cultural and sport activities including skiing tracks, golf course, swimming and ice hockey halls. It is easy to find pure nature close by; amazing forest and wonderful lake scenery.

Zoning readiness

Zoning ready for data center use

Notes on investment regulatory readiness

Even the zoning is not ready yet, could building construction be started with help of exceptional permit.

Notes on site size and building permit

The total area reserved for Data Center use is 60 ha. Area belongs to Pyhäsalmi Mine. There are no existing buildings or on-going activities in the area. The mine itself is located on the other side of Keiteleentie road. Area can be enlarged by possible land acquisitions.

Zoning is on-going for the site. Underground Data Center spaces required are included in the zoning process. Mine has a plenty of skillfull miners and tools to excavate underground spaces. Mining company could also buy excavated rock material.

Pre-approval of construction and environment permits, fire and rescue plan

Negotiations initiated

Site shape

The first phase site shape is almost regtangular.
 

Notes on site topography

Site is partly quite even grass field but mostly wood with trees. Site is easy to clean trees and level it ready for construction.

Notes on cooling options

Cooling options on Pyhäjärvi Data Center site are very good. Cool, clean Pyhäjärvi lake right next to the site gives good possibilities to a long free cooling period annually with water cooling option or using lake water as a make-up water in cooling towers.
 

Clean air and annual ambient temperature 2.3 C are excellent for a Data Center which is cooled with direct air cooling system. Prevailing wind direction is from South.
 

 

Type of ground

Unlevelled site but already quite even soil surface, some forestry and other vegetation on land.
 

Levelling of plot

Plot is not construction ready / levelled

Type of forestry (if plot not levelled)

Typical tree types on the area are spruce, birch and pine.
 

Layout plan of datacenter building(s)

Natural risks

  • Central Finland is located in a very peaceful area concerning earthquakes.
  • 2000 – 2015 only four very minor earthquakes have been registered in the Pyhäjärvi area, magnitudes 0,6 – 2,1.
  • Minor earthquakes in Southern Finland are part of interplate earthquake series on Eurasian tectonic plate.
  • Due to the fact that there have been only minor earthquakes, they are not required to be taken in to account in any local building regulations or codes.

Below in the image are statistics of earthquakes on the region and also pictures presenting that Pyhäjärvi lake does not flood.
 

 

 

Proximity of major roads, airports, flight paths and railways

Access to main road E75 is about 10 km from the site. Keiteleentie nr. 560 and Kiuruvedentie nr. 27 are only few hundreds of meters distance away.
 

There is one small airport about 10 km north of the site. It is for small airplanes use only. No remarkable flight paths near the site.
 

The railway is about 1.5 km distance from the site.
 

Proximity of hazardous industries

There are no hazardous industries nearby. The mine has no hazardous activities and since excavation happens underground and 500m distance and 1400m deep, there is no dust in the air.
 

Proximity of near by communities

Other side of Keiteleentie locates Pyhäsalmi Mine Ltd. Underground mining activities continue approx. until 2019.

Other communities are locate about 4 km distance in Pyhäjärvi town.
 

Current access to the site

Two or more roads

Notes on current and planned access to the site

It is easy to add access roads to 60 ha large area.

What is needed to realize total power supply?

A new 100 kV electrical line Haapajärvi - Pyhäjärvi (a. 35 km) to be built. On DC site should 110 kV switchyard extension upgraded (assumed that 100 kV switchyard is built earlier).
