ABOUT THIS EPISODE

What happens when data centres outpace infrastructure? Innovation breaks the rules - Part 1

We’re exploring how infrastructure constraints are reshaping the future of data centres, and why innovation is breaking rules to keep up with demand.

In this episode of Transform, GHD’s Tai Hollingsbee (Head of Sustainability, Asia Pacific) is joined by Andrew Morrison (Australian Market Leader for Property and Buildings, GHD), Samuel Benson (Co-Founder, OceanBit) and Harqs Singh (CTO and Co-Founder, InfraPartners).

Together, they unpack the challenges of powering data centres in a world of limited grid access, rising AI demand and evolving sustainability expectations.

From behind-the-meter energy solutions to prefabricated construction and offshore data centres, the conversation dives into how the industry is responding with bold, unconventional strategies.

Listen now, the race to innovate is just beginning.
