Advancing Data Center Construction West

About this event

Advancing Data Center Construction West brings together construction professionals, developers, and technology providers focused specifically on hyperscale and colocation facility development across the western United States. The conference addresses critical construction challenges including power infrastructure scaling, cooling system integration, and prefabrication methodologies that reduce deployment timelines from 24 months to 18 months or less. Sessions cover seismic engineering requirements specific to California and Nevada markets, where data center construction must meet strict earthquake resistance standards while maintaining operational uptime guarantees of 99.99% or higher. The event features case studies from major projects including Facebook's Los Lunas facility, Google's Henderson campus expansion, and Microsoft's quincy operations, examining how these hyperscale deployments achieve power usage effectiveness ratios below 1.15. Technical tracks focus on liquid cooling implementation, edge computing facility design, and sustainable construction practices that meet renewable energy mandates in states like California, where 60% clean electricity requirements by 2030 drive design decisions. Exhibitors demonstrate modular construction systems, advanced building materials, and project management software specifically adapted for data center construction workflows. The conference includes dedicated sessions on labor shortage solutions, examining how prefabrication and modular approaches address skilled worker availability issues that currently extend project timelines by 15-20%. Networking sessions connect general contractors with hyperscale operators, colocation providers, and specialty subcontractors operating across Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado markets.

Who should attend

General contractors specializing in mission-critical facilities, data center developers, mechanical and electrical subcontractors, and hyperscale cloud operators planning western US expansions should attend. Construction project managers, facilities engineers, and procurement professionals working on colocation and edge computing projects benefit from the technical sessions and vendor exhibitions.
