AECOM, an integrated global infrastructure firm, and Project Frog, an innovator in advanced component buildings, are forming a partnership to address the increasing need for data centers. The Rapid Deployment Team will construct modular buildings with the quality and flexibility of traditional construction methods.

Project Frog leverages the integration of components from off-site manufacturing that are designed for shipping and rapid on-site installation. The Converge data center kit results in an accelerated construction schedule which materially increases the speed to market of a revenue-producing data center anywhere in the world.

The company has a deep knowledge of the data center market and expertise in the turnkey provision of data center facilities. AECOM provides solutions that allow simplified installation processes that enable future expansion with cost, time, and maintenance benefits.

With customizable solutions for small (1 MW) to large data centers (50+ MW), the AECOM and Project Frog Rapid Deployment Team streamlines data center development. The solution allows for consistent and scalable roll out globally.

Contractors expect to spend more time on prefabrication, according to FMI study

Get ready for a surge in prefabrication activity by contractors. FMI, the consulting and investment banking firm, recently polled contractors about how much time they were spending, in craft labor hours, on prefabrication for construction projects. More than 250 contractors participated in the survey, and the average response to that question was 18%. More revealing, however, was the participants’ anticipation that craft hours dedicated to prefab would essentially double, to 34%, within the next five years.
