We turn the risks stalling hyperscale programs into built-in advantages that compress timelines and support fast schedules.
A different mechanical partner on every build resets your risk each time and makes consistency across campuses hard to guarantee.
Capacity cannot wait. Mechanical scope is often 20-40% of project value and sits squarely on the critical path.
Your pipeline spans regions where local skilled-trade pools can’t always supply the crews a hyperscale build demands.
Install quality does not show up as a problem until the facility is operational, when a mechanical or cooling issue becomes an uptime and reputational liability.
As a pre-qualified mission-critical facility MEP contractor, GCs can deploy Sylvan to self-perform a variety of trades under one point of accountability and reduce AVL risk.
When supply chain is slow, Sylvan’s fabrication and modularization neutralize the critical-path bottleneck by building mechanical systems in parallel, so they’re ready to go once installation is needed.
Our local labor engagements, national mobilization network, and specialist trade partners give your builds fab-experienced crews the local market alone cannot supply.
Sylvan’s integrated technologies give every party a shared view of budget, schedule, and field progress, with QA/QC discipline that catches issues at the source, not once you are live.
From first model through final data center commissioning, Sylvan Group brings together self-performed MEP trades, prefabrication capacity, and technology to keep your builds on schedule.
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.
System design and install, panel/switchgear upgrades, generator install and maintenance, data cabling, BMS controls, redundancy and failover logic.
Custom-fabricated ductwork, containment systems, prefabricated and modular assemblies to compress the field schedule.
Coordination of mechanical power loads, equipment tie-ins, and backup/redundant power infrastructure for cooling (500MW / 90GW operational and planned peaker capacity).
Tested and ready-to-set spools, skids, modules, and pods ship from our combined 200k sq. ft of in-house prefabrication space, moving work off the critical path and compressing schedules on hyperscale capacity expansions.

Self-performed process piping across multiple data center buildings on a top-three hyperscaler campus.
Piping and plumbing scope, installing 1,130+ prefabricated pipe spools, nearly 13,000 feet of piping, and 4,600 high-purity welds in 11 months without a single first-aid or recordable injury.
Piping, plumbing, sheet metal, design, electrical, millwright, and rigging scope delivered across 3.5 million square feet, logging 1.2 million-plus safe field hours.
Sylvan Group, together with Egan and Pettus, operates as a critical facilities MEP partner. We self-perform mechanical trades at any location and any size, backed by a workforce built to mobilize past its own footprint.

Data center construction covers the design, build, and mechanical systems that keep mission-critical, always-on facilities running.
Sylvan self-performs process piping & plumbing, HVAC, sheet metal, electrical, controls, and power.
Sylvan carries $1B in aggregate bonding capacity, with single-project bonding up to $500M.
Sylvan Group holds active licensing in every U.S. state except Hawaii, with crews and shops supporting 50+ regions nationwide.
Across more than 4 million combined field hours in 2025, Sylvan maintained a 0.54 EMR, 0.14 TRIR, and 0.14 DART.
Yes. Sylvan embeds specialists during preconstruction to provide constructability input, BIM coordination, and early scope input that reduces downstream risk and rework.
Sylvan deploys Jobotics AI and Bowser across active builds, cutting daily reporting time from 30 minutes to just 3-4 minutes and reducing RFI, closeout, and contract review time by more than 90%.
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.
Yes. Sylvan is a member of ISNetworld, Avetta, and Appruv, supporting fast on-site mobilization on new pursuits.
Sylvan’s enterprise expands our national mobilization reach, prefab capability, and AI enablement, backed by data center expertise and high-quality craftsmanship – allowing hyperscalers to compress schedules on their data center builds while partnering with a team they can trust.
Add Sylvan Group to your Approved Vendor List and give the GCs you deploy a pre-qualified, self-performing mission-critical construction partner that protects speed-to-market and consistency across every campus.
