icon Mechanical delivered the mechanical and plumbing scope across this confidential colocation data center campus, spanning multiple buildings totaling 70+ MW and 800,000+ SF. From the outset, icon brought constructability and BIM expertise to the table, providing full BIM support for the mechanical and plumbing systems and coordinating closely with the other trades to resolve clashes before they reached the field.

icon's preconstruction input drove the work toward off-site modular construction, and its value-added ideas improved system efficiency, constructability, and project economics while compressing the schedule.
