Armada and Johnson Controls start production of Leviathan modular AI data centres in Dublin, with the first unit bound for Fossefall in Norway

What changed

Armada and Johnson Controls said on 11 November that Galleon Forge Two, Armada's first European manufacturing operation, is in continuous production inside a 90,000 sq ft Johnson Controls facility in Dublin, supported by about 700 Johnson Controls engineers, technicians and other workers. The first Dublin-built Leviathan, a multi-megawatt modular data centre engineered, integrated and tested on site, is headed to Fossefall in Norway, which has ordered five units totalling more than 9 MW for delivery by the first quarter of 2027; Australian developer WinDC plans 11 MW. Johnson Controls supplies the thermal side, including coolant distribution units, chillers and building controls, with what the companies call zero-water cooling. The partners target at least 500 MW of capacity in 2027 (their target, not installed capacity); continuous production at Galleon Forge One in Gilbert, Arizona, is expected to begin in early 2027, and a further site is planned in Edmonton, Canada.
