Built for Speed: Supporting Fast-Track Data Center Construction

By Justin Montemurno, EPC Business Development Manager

Data center construction is no longer measured in years—it’s measured in months, sometimes even weeks. Hyperscale developers, colocation providers, and their EPC partners are under constant pressure to deliver faster, even as systems become more complex.

In this environment, delays aren’t just frustrating—they’re costly. And too often, the biggest bottlenecks happen on the electrical side.

That’s where Integrated Power Services (IPS) comes in. We specialize in helping construction teams move fast—without cutting corners.

Fast Doesn’t Mean Fragile

When timelines compress, the risk of mistakes increases:
– Specified gear doesn’t arrive on time
– Submittals get stuck in review cycles
– Late-stage changes ripple through the schedule
– Commissioning gets rushed or fragmented
– Field issues slow down energization

The answer isn’t just more speed. It’s having the right partner—one that understands the pace and complexity of data center construction and has the ability to move with it.

What IPS Brings to Fast-Track Construction

IPS supports fast-moving data center projects by offering integrated, responsive solutions across three key areas:

Electrical Equipment Supply:
– Quick-turn switchgear, and panelboard solutions
– Pre-approved submittals and agile engineering review
– Strong distributor relationships and vendor coordination
– In-house support for last-minute design changes

Field Services & Commissioning:
– Rapid mobilization of technicians
– NETA-certified testing and commissioning
– Coordination with GC and EC teams for phased startup
– Real-world issue resolution, not just diagnostics

Engineering & Technical Support:
– Design review and constructability input
– Startup programming and settings validation
– Integration of temporary and permanent systems
– Troubleshooting for custom or hybrid architectures

The IPS Difference: Speed and Execution

Plenty of vendors promise speed. IPS delivers it—because we control the levers that matter:
– Stocked materials
– Cross-trained teams
– Engineering in-house
– Strong logistics partnerships
– National footprint with local execution

We’re not just trying to keep up with your schedule—we’re built for it.

Get Ahead of the Bottlenecks

Whether you’re managing a hyperscale greenfield site or building out new capacity inside an existing shell, IPS is ready to keep your electrical scope moving—on time, on budget, and fully supported. Let’s talk about how we can accelerate your next build without sacrificing quality.
