Track record

Built in Australia, by the teams that now build for QORINAI.

QORINAI is a new company with an experienced bench. Its delivery partners and engineering leads have designed, built and operated high-density compute across New South Wales and Victoria since 2008. The projects below are theirs; the capabilities are now ours. Counterparties and site details are available under NDA.

Capability timeline

From inner-city colocation to liquid-cooled GPU — and now gigawatt campuses.

  • 2008

    Inner-city colocation opens

    100 racks, N+1, dark-fibre ring — still operating.

  • 2014

    Open-OEM manufacturing

    Our strategic shareholder begins building servers in Canberra.

  • 2021–22

    Modular site beside a power station

    8 × 2.5 MW modules, 1.9 → 20 MW staged in five months.

  • 2022

    ~14 MW high-density build

    Largest single build in the portfolio; direct utility coordination.

  • 2025–26

    1 MW liquid-cooled GPU cluster

    Owner-funded, no master EPC, PUE < 1.10 pod design.

  • 2026

    GW-class campus masterplan

    QORINAI's own programme: power first, three supply layers.

Partner-delivered projects

Four projects, four links of the chain.

Each project covers a different capability — grid connection, modular speed, continuous operations, liquid-cooled owner-managed delivery — and the same people carry across all four.

Project 1 · High-density compute

~14 MW high-density facility, Greater Sydney

Delivered by a QORINAI delivery partner · largest single build in the partner's portfolio

~14 MWhigh-density IT load
> 1 M CFMcustom cooling airflow
4–12 °Chall operating band

A purpose-built high-density compute facility in Greater Sydney's north-west, energised through direct coordination with the distribution network operator in one of the most connection-constrained regions in Australia. Custom high-airflow cooling, per-customer VLAN isolation and layered physical security — facial recognition, thermal imaging, MAC-registered fibre access.

  • CapabilityGrid connection execution at > 10 MW in a constrained network; high-density electrical distribution
  • CoolingCustom > 1,000,000 CFM system, 4–12 °C hall temperature with fan-failure headroom
  • SecurityFacial recognition + thermal imaging; hosted fibre with MAC registration; per-tenant VLAN and remote management
  • Operations24 h customer access with resident engineers
Why it matters: a formal connection in a queue-constrained network is the scarcest asset in Australian data-centre development. This team has done it.
Project 2 · Modular data centre

~11 MW modular site beside a renewable power station, Northern NSW

Delivered by a QORINAI delivery partner for a listed asset owner · behind-the-meter, 100 % renewable

8 × 2.5 MWtransportable modules
3 dayscontract signed → first power
5 months1.9 → 10 → 20 MW staged

Eight transportable 2.5 MW modular data centres installed on land adjoining a 30 MW biomass power station, supplied behind the meter under a seven-year take-or-pay electricity agreement. The first module was energised three days after signing; the staged plan reached the 20 MW maximum transfer capacity in five months, with ~11 MW built and energised by the team. The modules were later relocated overseas and continue to operate — proof that the design is genuinely redeployable.

  • CapabilityRapid regional site development; modular delivery; owner-built connection infrastructure
  • EnergyBehind-the-meter supply from a certified-renewable generator; load able to flex against midday solar surplus
  • CommercialTake-or-pay structure, minimum-load thresholds, liquidated damages — the same shape as a GPU hosting contract
  • LineageThe module design principles carry directly into today's 2.5 MW pod product
Why it matters: modular, behind-the-meter, staged energisation is exactly how QORINAI launches a campus before the transmission connection lands.
Project 3 · Colocation operations

Inner-city colocation facility, Sydney

Operated by a QORINAI delivery partner since 2008 · commercial colocation, connectivity and infrastructure

100racks
N+1power and cooling
18 yrscontinuous operation

A 100-rack colocation facility one train stop from the Sydney CBD, opened in 2008 and still operating: N+1 power and air-conditioning, a redundant dark-fibre ring to every major Sydney data centre and peering point, private cages, business suites and remote hands under ISO 27001 controls.

  • CapabilityMulti-tenant operations in a constrained inner-city building; long-run reliability, not one-off construction
  • ConnectivityRedundant dark-fibre ring; direct connection to any cloud, transit or IaaS provider in the metro
  • ComplianceISO 27001 operations; Australian-owned, Australian-staffed
Why it matters: eighteen years of uptime is the credit basis for QORINAI's operations SLA.
Project 4 · Liquid-cooled GPU cluster

1 MW liquid-cooled GPU cluster, Sydney north shore

Delivered by a QORINAI delivery partner on its own balance sheet · no master EPC

1 MWliquid-cooled GPU load
< 1.10PUE, pod design tested
0master EPC contracts

A 1 MW high-density GPU cluster in an owner-occupied industrial building, delivered by directly engaging electrical, mechanical / liquid-cooling, cabling and compliance subcontractors — no master EPC, no interface margin. The build fed the partner's modular pod product line: sealed high-security pods with heat, EMF and noise capture, tested below 1.10 PUE, and a patent-pending waste-heat reuse system.

  • CapabilityOwner-managed subcontracting; direct-to-chip liquid cooling at > 100 kW per rack
  • NetworkSecond NSW distribution network connected to — the team has worked with both metropolitan operators
  • ProductModular pod, DCIM / remote monitoring stack, waste-heat reuse — the engineering basis for QORINAI's Tier C halls
Why it matters: HGX B300 racks exceed 100 kW and must be liquid-cooled. This team has already done it without an EPC in the middle.

Current programme

A gigawatt-class campus, designed around its power.

QORINAI's own flagship programme is a greenfield AI campus in south-eastern Australia beside an EHV transmission corridor. Details are available under NDA; the method is public.

A

Transmission first

A gigawatt-scale connection enquiry lodged with the state transmission planner and formally answered under the National Electricity Rules — connection feasible, a new EHV terminal station defined as the pathway, three arrangements assessed, system-strength and fault-level figures quantified.

B

Three supply layers

Distribution capacity available on site today for a modular launch; an interim distribution pathway during construction; and on-site gas firming with a large battery system so the campus ramps even if the transmission programme slips.

C

Utilities answered

Gas pipeline capacity confirmed by the network, water and sewer assessments under way, carrier pit-and-pipe at the boundary, planning pathway identified.

D

Modular launch → campus

A 2.5–3 MW modular first phase on a 14-month application-to-completion programme, then staged power blocks to the masterplan end state.
