ENGINEERING
Decide before you build.
Strategy, sites, feasibility: we inform the decisions that commit megawatts and years.
SERVICES
What we shed light on
AI and sovereign AI infrastructure strategy
Assess compute needs and data sovereignty and residency requirements, compare building, leasing or outsourcing, then draw up a roadmap.
Site selection
Compare candidate sites on available power, water, climate, connectivity, land and permits, against a shared set of criteria.
Feasibility and business models
Size the project, phase the investment, estimate capital and operating costs, and test revenue models: colocation, compute capacity, own use.
Technical due diligence
For investors and lenders: a review of the design, redundancy, energy and risks of a project or an existing asset.
Tenders and procurement
Write the specifications, consult the market, evaluate the bids and support the owner through to the award.

Frequently asked questions
When should you bring in Nordik’s engineering team?
As early as possible: before choosing the site and before fixing the power. Decisions taken at this stage (energy, land, business model) commit the project for years. We also step in on a project already under way, for technical due diligence.
On what criteria should two sites be compared?
Available power, water, climate, connectivity, land and permits. We bring them together in a shared grid, so that the decision rests on the same measures for every site.
Should you build, lease or outsource your compute capacity?
It depends on your compute needs, your sovereignty requirements and your investment horizon. We compare the three routes in a technical and financial model, with their risks, then recommend a roadmap.
What does technical due diligence bring an investor?
A review of the project or the asset: design, redundancy, energy and risks. It says what holds, what must be corrected and what that implies, before funds are committed.
