Client: Leading Data Centre Company
Location: Navi Mumbai, India
Sector: Digital Infrastructure
Coastal infrastructure faces compounded risks from geological instability and waterbody proximity. This case study presents how MitKat Advisory performed a Geological Survey and Risk Assessment for a data centre operator in Navi Mumbai.
Client Requirement:
The client was finalising land acquisition for a new data centre site and needed to:
- Confirm Geological Stability: Slope behaviour, soil condition, and bedrock features required validation.
- Understand Waterbody Proximity Risk: Nearby drainage systems and potential for flooding or erosion posed uncertainty.
Our Response
MitKat’s approach included:
- Geological Survey: Examined sub-surface conditions, slope angles, and fault lines relevant to long-term stability.
- Drainage and Waterbody Risk Mapping: Evaluated catchment flow, overflow probability, and erosion potential.
Outcome
- Confirmed geo-suitability of land for data centre development
- Identified areas requiring site-level elevation or grading correction
- Supported engineering planning with geo-risk overlays
- Strengthened land acquisition decision with scientific risk backing
MitKat’s geological risk assessment for data centre site selection enabled the client to validate the land’s structural integrity and mitigate future site stability risks. The study provided critical inputs for slope correction, drainage alignment, and engineering design—ensuring informed, risk-aware land acquisition for long-term infrastructure resilience.
