Value Delivered
EMCOR Hyre Electric Co. of Indiana, Inc. provided innovative electrical services for the very first data center built in Northwest Indiana. This 105,000-square-foot data center was built on the site of the former coal-fired State Line Generating Plant in Hammond, Indiana.
Leveraging our Building Information Modeling expertise, we developed and coordinated the layout of electrical distribution equipment and feeder routes with other mechanical systems, allowing for fast-track installation. Because of this time-saving measure, EMCOR Hyre Electric was able to complete the first phase of construction in less than five months while maintaining the owner’s budget.
