Data center construction demands precise structural steel work — from the building superstructure to the equipment support steel and server racking systems inside. Cortex Construct supplies experienced ironworkers who understand both the structural and mechanical support aspects of data center construction. Our ironworkers erect building steel, install equipment platforms, and assemble the racking systems that support IT infrastructure.
