Land, Permitting, and Environmental
Fiber easement gives rights to install and maintain fiber optic infrastructure. It can be as important as electric easements for AI and cloud sites because network route control affects latency, redundancy, and carrier optionality.
Reactive power supports electric and magnetic fields in AC systems and is typically measured in kVAR or MVAR. It does not perform useful work like kW, but it is essential for voltage control and can materially affect grid studies and power factor penalties.
Read definition →Three-phase power uses three AC waveforms separated in phase, allowing efficient delivery of large amounts of power. Most utility, substation, generator, UPS, and data center distribution calculations for major loads rely on three-phase formulas.
Read definition →Traffic impact study evaluates how a project affects roads, intersections, construction traffic, and long-term operations. Data centers may have low permanent employment but high construction traffic and equipment-delivery needs.
