StrataSpace datacenter... Interesting, but how can you expand when you are underground?

AFAIK pumps are always used in mines, to keep them operational (a flooded mine is useless), so I'm fairly confident they have a very well thought out system in place.In the early 80's, Oldham County Stone, a division of Rogers Group, Inc., began an underground mining operation in Brownsboro, Ky. This mining project for the production of crushed limestone was very successful over the next several years. When the mining was terminated, the underground property just outside of Louisville, Ky. could have been rendered useless. However a decision made in the early days produced a valuable opportunity.
If they receive a major downpour of water, could they adequately keep the building dry with only drainage? No where in the list does it say they have pumps, but that could be part of the "Storm Water Drainage" system.

But still ... I wonder just how much protection a former limestone quarry would provide in the off chance there was an earthquake. I think I would feel safer about it if it was encased in a granite quarry.
ANMMark said:Precisely another point. Limestone is a fairly soft mineral/rock, compared to granite, and other forms of stone. So you are correct. One would have to question this decision as well.
