NTT’s Facilities division says it has developed a prefabricated construction method, Hyper Ready Module, designed to speed up hyperscale data center delivery. The modular system uses prebuilt units that can be transported and assembled on-site, with the company claiming it could reduce delivery time to two years—one year for planning and design and one for construction—compared with the typical three to four years.
“By standardizing the process from design to construction, NTT Facilities aims to reduce the time required from application and design to construction of large-scale data centers in the tens-to-hundreds-of-megawatt class for hyperscalers by up to approximately 50 percent compared to conventional methods,” an NTT Facilities statement said.
The design places all cooling and electrical equipment outside the main structure to simplify prefabrication. Inside, it uses a Design for Manufacturing approach, with standardized components such as piping and wiring assembled on-site in modular units. Power supply systems are also unitized to further shorten construction timelines. NTT plans to roll out the approach with data center operators from the 2028 financial year.
“NTT Facilities will present an ideal data center vision from multiple perspectives, including addressing the high heat generation and high density of data centers, achieving carbon neutrality, and harmonizing with local communities,” the statement added.
