Data Centers
Delivering sustainable, reliable data center solutions
We live in an era of the Internet of Things, cloud computing, virtual universes and AI-powered chatbots 鈥 all made possible through data centers. As applications for data and demand for bandwidth continue to grow, so does the demand for data center services.
For over 30 years, high-technology and mission critical design has been at the core of our practice. We specialize in providing integrated planning, architecture, engineering, construction management, and commissioning specifically for data centers.
We also understand the emergence of AI has led to increased production load requirements, causing data centers to work even harder to keep up, land to expand data center campuses be sold at a premium, and new power and cooling methods be implemented to decarbonize for a more sustainable future.
Our impactful custom solutions combine traditional designs with the flexibility to accommodate future demands, by using plug-and-play solutions, and implementing the latest technologies from our energy, environment and water end markets.
We understand the need for a global network of expertise and knowledge to design for scalability, adapt for market demand and innovate to remain several steps ahead. We create impactful solutions so you can succeed 鈥 not just today but into tomorrow.
