For Data Center Operators & Owners

Uptime Has a
Flood Blind Spot.

A single flood event can take a data center offline for days — and most operators have no physics-based model of when, how deep, or how long. We model the water before it arrives.

The Exposure Problem

FEMA zones don't
model rain events.

Most data center flood assessments rely on FEMA 100-year floodplain maps — designed for riverine boundary zones. They miss the dominant flood type: pluvial flooding from rain accumulation, which accounts for over 80% of real flood events.

A site outside a FEMA flood zone can still accumulate 2–4 feet of standing water during an extreme rain event — enough to breach ground-floor infrastructure and disable cooling systems.

We model all four flood mechanisms simultaneously — pluvial, fluvial, coastal, and groundwater — producing time-step simulations of water depth, duration, and flow velocity at your specific site coordinates.

What We Deliver

Site-Level Intelligence
Built for Operations.

Site Flood Depth & Duration Modeling
Time-step simulations showing maximum water depth, inundation duration, and flow velocity at your specific coordinates — including raised floor and MEP equipment thresholds.
Facility Impairment Threshold Analysis
Identify the depth and duration at which critical systems — cooling, power, access roads — become impaired. We map your operational thresholds to physical flood parameters.
Lead Time & Warning Integration
Physics-based propagation timelines give operations teams accurate lead time for protective action — not a static "flood zone" label, but a dynamic time-to-threshold forecast.
Multi-Site Portfolio Exposure
Assess flood risk across your entire data center portfolio — colocation, hyperscale, and edge — ranked by exposure severity, with cross-site interdependency analysis for resilience planning.
Return Period & Scenario Analysis
Stress-test sites against 10-, 50-, and 100-year events under current and projected climate conditions. Quantify annualized loss exposure for insurance, investment, and resilience decisions.
Structured Report Outputs
Deliverables designed for insurers, lenders, and board-level reporting — including flood depth maps, impairment timelines, and risk quantification in dollar terms.

Use Cases

From Site Selection
to Real-Time Ops.

01 / SITE SELECTION

New Build & Acquisition Due Diligence

Before committing capital to a new site or acquisition, quantify flood exposure with physics-based precision. Surface hidden risk from pluvial events that FEMA maps miss entirely.

02 / INSURANCE

Premium Optimization & Coverage Justification

Provide insurers with defensible, physics-based flood models rather than static FEMA scores. Negotiate coverage terms with quantified exposure data that reflects actual physical risk.

03 / ESG & REPORTING

Climate Risk Disclosure

Satisfy TCFD, SEC climate disclosure, and investor ESG requirements with asset-level physical flood risk data — going beyond probabilistic scoring to documented, modeled exposure.

04 / RESILIENCE PLANNING

Hardening & Capital Allocation

Prioritize flood hardening investments — barriers, drainage, elevated equipment — using actual modeled depth and duration data, not worst-case assumptions that lead to over- or under-engineering.

05 / OPERATIONS

Emergency Protocol Design

Build operational playbooks around real flood propagation timelines. Know when access roads flood, when basement equipment is at risk, and how long impairment is likely to persist.

06 / LENDING & INVESTMENT

Asset Valuation & Credit Risk

For lenders, PE, and REITs underwriting data center assets: quantify flood-adjusted downtime risk and impairment probability across a portfolio with structured, capital-grade outputs.
