Data Centers

Ames Construction performed mass earthwork, site grading, utility installation, structural excavation, finish grading, and road construction for mission critical data centers in New Mexico and Utah.

The scope for the New Mexico project included mass earthwork grading, structural and duct bank excavation, finish grading for the concrete slab-on-grade, and underground utility work.

Ames was challenged to coordinate with the many trades and craft workers on site simultaneously. Proactive communication efforts ensured that everyone worked together efficiently to meet the schedule.

For the Utah project, Ames installed utilities, performed structural excavation and backfilling of the structures, built roadways for construction access, and constructed permanent roads for the property. Ames was also tasked with construction of the subcontractor trailer areas and project laydown yards.

Construction of the H-shaped, 970,000-square-foot facility required an aggressive start-up schedule, with multiple subcontractors on the property simultaneously. At peak construction times, as many as 1,000 craftspeople were working on site. Ames built relationships with the other trade workers to foster positive communication and coordination for mutual success.
