Data Center Construction
Mission-critical infrastructure built with military precision. Peck General Construction delivers ground-up data center builds, structural retrofits, and comprehensive mechanical integration across Southern California.
Building a data center requires far more than conventional commercial construction. It demands hyper-specialized structural engineering, intense power density accommodations, and flawless integration of mechanical and electrical systems to achieve extreme reliability.
High-Density Power Loads
Modern AI and HPC deployments pushing beyond 30 kW per rack demand intensely reinforced floors and specialized power distribution.
Seismic Vulnerability
Southern California data centers require advanced seismic isolation and structural hardening to guarantee zero-downtime capabilities.
Complex MEP Coordination
Failure to perfectly sync structural walls with sprawling mechanical and electrical layouts leads to delayed schedules and cost overruns.
Physical Security Risks
Mission-critical data needs more than digital firewalls; it demands heavily fortified physical enclosures, access control vestibules, and blast-resistant walls.
Data Center Construction Services
Ground-Up Builds
Complete construction of purpose-built, Tier III and Tier IV data center facilities from foundation to final commissioning.
Structural Hardening
Heavy duty structural reinforcements, seismic bracing, and perimeter security fencing designed for ultimate asset protection.
Raised Floor Systems
Installation of high-load containment flooring that perfectly balances heavy server weight with under-floor airflow requirements.
MEP Infrastructure
Complete framing and support systems for massive chiller plants, multi-megawatt generators, UPS rooms, and extensive logical cable trays.
Military-Grade Data Center Infrastructure
The modern data center relies on absolute operational continuity. At Peck General Construction, we understand that constructing these facilities requires a radically different mindset than standard commercial building. From hyperscale deployments to localized edge data centers, the foundation of your uptime starts long before the first server is racked—it begins with the disciplines of the concrete pour, the integrity of the structural steel, and the precision of the infrastructure layout.
Ground-Up Sub-Structure & Shell Construction
We execute the heavy civil and structural work required to bring a new data center out of the ground. This includes intensely reinforced concrete foundations engineered to support the staggering weight of high-density battery arrays and specialized HVAC chillers. We construct robust building envelopes utilizing tilt-up concrete or reinforced masonry that inherently provide superior thermal mass, physical security, and advanced seismic endurance crucial for Southern California.
Interior Build-Outs & Raised Flooring
Inside the whitespace, every square inch must be optimized for power routing, cooling efficiency, and server density. We handle the specialized installation of rigid, high-capacity raised access floors and overhead ceiling support grids. Our interior carpentry and metal framing teams construct secure demising walls, multi-zone fire-rated enclosures, and tightly controlled security vestibules required to meet strict compliance standards (SOC 2, ISO 27001).
Flawless MEP Integration
The heart of a data center is its Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) infrastructure. As a general contractor with extensive in-house HVAC and electrical expertise, we eliminate the friction between the building's structural framework and the complex systems housed within it. We meticulously coordinate the vast network of cable trays, complex liquid-cooling pipe runs, and massive air handlers to ensure perfect structural accommodation and accessibility without compromising the building's integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We have the scale and discipline to act as the general contractor for multi-tenant colocation facilities as well as localized, secure private edge data centers.
We engineer and construct heavily reinforced slab-on-grade foundations or install ultra-high-capacity raised flooring systems rated for modern HPC and AI equipment weight densities.
Absolutely. As an integrated general contractor with deep in-house HVAC capability, we handle the physical construction, the heavy mechanical integration, and coordinate with specialized critical power vendors seamlessly.
We build impenetrable perimeters utilizing reinforced concrete, ballistic-rated glass, mantrap security vestibules, and specialized anti-ram barriers around external generator compounds.
Yes. We frequently transform existing commercial warehouses or industrial buildings into advanced data centers, handling the structural reinforcement, utility upgrades, and thermal sealing required.
A ground-up data center build typically takes 12-18 months from design through commissioning. Retrofit projects can be completed in 6-10 months depending on scope and existing infrastructure conditions.
Yes. We construct facilities to Tier I through Tier III standards, including N+1 and 2N redundancy configurations for power and cooling. We coordinate with third-party commissioning agents to validate uptime guarantees.
All our data center builds comply with California Building Code seismic zones. We engineer foundations, raised floors, and equipment mounting systems to withstand seismic events while maintaining operational continuity.
Absolutely. We regularly tie new data center facilities into existing campus power distribution, fiber networks, and building management systems while maintaining zero downtime on active infrastructure.
We install clean agent fire suppression (FM-200, Novec 1230), VESDA very early smoke detection, and pre-action sprinkler systems. All systems are designed to protect equipment while meeting local fire marshal requirements.
