Inauguration of the Terralphα digital slab in Saint-Pierre-des-Corps

Yesterday afternoon, Olivier LABBE and Thomas LARDILLER represented CAP INGELEC at the inauguration of Terralphα’s Digital Slab in Saint-Pierre-des-Corps.
We are proud to have realized this pilot project, which will allow the Telecoms subsidiary of SNCF Réseau to propose soon an offer for Edge Computing from its railway spaces located in the heart of the cities.
This turnkey contract included the development of the land, the creation of a concrete platform on piles to protect against potential flooding, and the deployment of electrical infrastructure and site security.

Through Terralpha, a subsidiary of SNCF Réseau, the SNCF group wants to take advantage of its national 100 Gbits fibre optic network to offer a range of serviced spaces for the installation of datacenters on its own land. Customers can set up their own regional micro-datacenter in a secure, developed area connected to the Terralpha network and supplied with electricity.

Terralpha wishes to use the SNCF railway stations, which are secure and ideally located in city centres, to enable its clients to bring computing, storage and transmission capacities as close as possible to the places where the data is generated and used.

The Terralpha digital slab is thus the solution for Edge Computing customers.

In 2021, SNCF Réseau created its subsidiary Terralpha, whose objective is to market access to its network of 20,000 km of fibre scattered throughout the country, with the ambition “to make the most of the excess fibre available through strategic partnerships, helping to reduce the digital divide”.

Design and Build of the works

Cap Ingelec was entrusted with the design and construction of a secure site with a slab on stilts to accommodate datacenter-type modular units located in Saint-Pierre-des-Corps (37).

This turnkey contract includes the development of the land, the creation of a concrete platform on piles in order to be protected from potential flooding and the deployment of electrical infrastructure and site security. This project, located near the Saint-Pierre-des-Corps train station, was delivered in July 2022.
