Trust Black & Veatch to perform complex upgrades and construction scopes in your live data centers.
Rising data demand is driving increased IT capacity, more stringent energy codes and additional levels of resiliency and security. Such updates carry risk to live operations where mistakes are not an option. Our experience working in live environments helps assure safe delivery without disruption.
