Problem

What’s Slowing Your Project Down—And How We Fix It

Every new build, expansion, or retrofit resets your risk if mechanical partners change. We make the mechanical scope predictable across every site.

Colocation Pain Points
Every New Partner Resets Your Risk

A different mechanical contractor on each build, expansion, or retrofit means re-earning consistency, quality, and documentation.

Expanding Around Live Tenants

Retrofits and phased expansions in occupied halls leave no room for coordination error or downtime.

Rising Costs

Stacked subcontractor markups and estimate variance make cost per MW hard to predict, squeezing the margin between build cost and lease revenue.

SLAs Ride on Mechanical Quality

Install quality becomes an uptime liability the moment a hall goes live. A missed SLA costs revenue, tenants, and reputation.

Sylvan Group’s Model
Integrated Trade Execution

Sylvan Group self-performs piping, HVAC, sheet metal, electrical, and controls under one point of accountability, so consistency and documentation hold across every site in your portfolio.

Mission-Critical Experience

Sylvan has protected uptime in critical environments for 50+ years, including automotive production lines. Our expertise directly translates to phased work for live data halls.

An AI-Enabled Single Source of Truth

Sylvan Group’s integrated technologies give every party a shared view of budget, schedule, and field progress. QA/QC discipline creates predictable execution that mitigates costs.

 Off-Site Prefabrication

In-house piping and sheet metal prefabrication drive 30-50% efficiency gains. We help you meet uptime and schedule standards with superior tolerances and standardized QA/QC protocols.

Services

Dozens of Colocation Construction Services

From first model through final commissioning, Sylvan Group keeps live data hall environments consistent with piping, plumbing, HVAC, sheet metal, and more.

Mechanical Systems (Piping, HVAC and Cooling)

Chilled and condenser water loops, hydronic piping, cooling towers, CRAH units, central plants, precision cooling for white-space environments, hot/cold-aisle containment, redundant mechanical systems.

Electrical and Controls

System design and install, panel/switchgear upgrades, generator install and maintenance, data cabling, BMS controls, redundancy and failover logic.

Sheet Metal and Fabrication

Custom-fabricated ductwork, containment systems, prefabricated and modular assemblies to compress the field schedule.

Power Support

Coordination of mechanical power loads, equipment tie-ins, and backup/redundant power infrastructure for cooling (500MW / 90GW operational and planned peaker capacity).

Prefabrication + Modularization

Ensure Consistent Quality & Predictable Costs

To suppress costs and maintain a high standard of quality, every spool, skid, module, and pod ships tested and ready-to-set from our combined 200,000 sq. ft. of in-house prefabrication space.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is data center construction?

Data center construction covers the design, build, and mechanical systems that keep mission-critical, always-on facilities running.

What trades does Sylvan Group self-perform on data center projects?

Sylvan self-performs process piping & plumbing, HVAC, sheet metal, electrical, controls, and power.

Can Sylvan perform work in live environments?

Yes. Sylvan Group has a proven resume of mechanical work inside live, occupied data hall environments. Our crews operate under strict security protocols and NDA requirements, executing piping, plumbing, HVAC, and sheet metal work without disrupting the systems already running around them, all while protecting tenant SLA commitments.

What is Sylvan's bonding capacity?

Sylvan Group carries $1B in aggregate bonding capacity, with single-project bonding up to $500M.

Where is Sylvan licensed to work?

Sylvan Group holds active licensing in every U.S. state except Hawaii, with crews and shops supporting 50+ regions nationwide.

What is Sylvan's safety record?

Across more than 4 million combined field hours in 2025, Sylvan maintained a 0.54 EMR, 0.14 TRIR, and 0.14 DART.

Does Sylvan participate in design-assist?

Yes. Sylvan Group embeds specialists during preconstruction to provide constructability input, BIM coordination, and early scope input that reduces downstream risk and rework.

What technology does Sylvan use to keep builds on schedule?

Sylvan Group deploys Jobotics AI and Bowser AI across active builds, increasing productivity by up to 5.9x and reducing RFI, closeout, and contract review time by more than 90%.

How does prefabrication protect cost and schedule?

Our in-house piping and sheet metal prefabrication drives 30–50% efficiency gains through superior tolerances and standardized QA/QC. Over a recent two-year period, that approach moved 31.5% of total project hours off the critical path, backed by more than 10 million modeled fabrication hours. Factory-tested assemblies bypass site-access constraints and insulate the critical path from weather delays.

Is Sylvan prequalified with vendor management platforms?

Yes. Sylvan Group is a member of ISNetworld, Avetta, and Appruv, supporting fast on-site mobilization on new pursuits.

What do the Sylvan Group and associated partnerships mean for colocation operators?

Sylvan's partnership with Egan, Pettus, and ownership tie to E-3 Tech, expands our platform capacity and national reach, giving colocation operators a single mechanical partner capable of delivering consistent quality across every site in their portfolio, from new builds to expansions.
