The Power Behind The Data: How Data Centers Are Built | The Power of Better | EP 9

Описание: Data centers are the unsung heroes of the digital world. These centers store, process, and distribute massive amounts of data, enabling everything from cloud computing to banking to streaming video.

In this episode, we journey inside the T5 Data Center in Elk Grove Village. T5 Data Centers designs the data systems that power companies across the country.

Building these data facilities falls on construction partners. In Chicagoland, that’s Gibson Electric, an Emcor Company and Powering Chicago contractor. Gibson Electric is expanding T5 Data Center’s 174-000-square-foot building by an extra 30,000 to 40,000 square feet. When complete, the facility's capacity will reach 30 megawatts.

Ensuring the electrical systems reliability for T5 Data Centers is a priority for mission-critical construction contractor Gibson Electric. The slightest interruption, even mere seconds of downtime, could have far-reaching consequences. We take you into how the facility is specifically built to avoid these issues.
