Frequently Asked Questions
Can ConstructEdge provide connectivity inside the data halls?
Yes. A common misconception is that once concrete walls go up, these areas become dead zones with no connectivity. However, data centers are typically built in phases, allowing connectivity to continue throughout the entire build, even as sections are completed and handed off to the owners. Once an area is turned over, all non-permanent cabling is removed, and strategically placed access points are used in the other areas. These can be easily moved, added, or removed as construction progresses, ensuring reliable network access inside the data halls without interfering with final infrastructure.
What is the cost of communication delays on large-scale projects?
Consider this scenario: On a jobsite without connectivity, a worker earning $100 per hour must make three trips daily from the worksite to the trailer to connect to the network for updates. If the trailers are located half a mile away and the worker walks at a speed of 3 miles per hour, each round trip takes at least 20 minutes. Over the course of a day, these trips add up to 1 hour of lost time, equivalent to at least $100 per worker per day in lost productivity. Now, scale this across a large data center project with many workers, and the costs become substantial.
Are there solutions that meet the security needs common with data center builds?
Yes. Data center builds require strict security measures, both during and after construction, depending on the type of data being handled. To meet these needs, owners and subcontractors can split off a separate fiber strand from the GC’s infrastructure for dedicated access while maintaining network isolation to prevent unauthorized access and ensuring they can perform their work without accessing the GC’s network or sensitive files.
Surveillance cameras play a crucial role in physical security by providing real-time visibility into key areas. Many owners enforce strict no-tolerance policies for issues like graffiti or roughhousing, making early camera deployment essential. AI-powered cameras enhance security by enabling searches based on specific attributes, such as clothing color, allowing site managers to quickly locate footage, review incidents, or provide relevant evidence to law enforcement when needed.
