Our data scientists can leverage advanced analytical approaches — including machine learning algorithms and AI-powered predictive modeling — across every stage of the data center lifecycle, from planning and construction to ongoing operations, transforming massive, complex datasets into targeted insights that drive continuous improvement, operational resilience, and long-term efficiency for mission-critical data center infrastructure. Our multidisciplinary expertise and AI-driven capabilities enable clients to streamline workflows, predict system reliability, enhance security, minimize data center downtime, optimize energy efficiency, lower operational costs, and quantify site- and application-specific risks, such as power and cooling failures, security vulnerabilities, and capacity bottlenecks.

Ä¢¹½tv's electrical engineers help clients optimize hyperscale data centers with robust power distribution systems, built-in redundancy, and advanced monitoring technologies. Our engineers work closely with clients to evaluate load requirements, implement energy-efficient processes, and maintain compliance with evolving industry codes and safety standards. Through the use of sophisticated modeling tools combined with FMEA and real-time analytics, our team identifies potential safety risks and vulnerabilities, enhances electrical reliability, and supports continuous, uninterrupted operations for mission-critical infrastructure.

Our thermal scientists perform extensive risk evaluations — assessing heat loads, airflow patterns, and cooling system performance to mitigate potential hazards and support operational resilience — and conduct root cause failure and fire investigations. Our services include evaluating complex factors related to air and liquid cooling, assessing advanced cooling technologies, such as direct-to-chip and immersion cooling, and examining waste heat reuse solutions. 

By combining laboratory analysis with field evaluations, our materials science engineers help clients select optimal materials, implement preventive maintenance strategies, and develop mitigation plans that address issues such as corrosion, cracking, and degradation to promote the long-term durability and resilience of critical infrastructure. Through performance evaluations of structural and electronic materials under diverse operational stresses, including thermal cycling, mechanical loads, and exposure to environmental factors, our experts help organizations identify potential modes of failure and address vulnerabilities that could compromise reliability or safety.

Liquid cooling, although more efficient than air cooling, presents its own challenges. Dissimilar metals, chlorides, microbial growth, particulates, and other aggressive species in the coolant can accelerate the degradation of sensitive components like manifolds, quick disconnects, cold plates, piping, and related systems, resulting in increased risk of leaks and operational downtime. By conducting thorough coolant system assessments and evaluating and testing susceptibility to corrosion, our experts help clients mitigate coolant-related corrosion risks, extend equipment lifespan, and improve the reliability and efficiency of their critical infrastructure.

As sustainability becomes a core imperative in data center development, Ä¢¹½tv guides clients through complex site, energy efficiency, and environmental assessments; emissions, waste, and water consumption evaluations; water rights challenges and permitting; regulatory compliance; and carbon accounting reporting. Our environmental scientists perform rigorous lifecycle assessments, covering design and installation to operation and retirement, to help clients understand the full scope of a data center project's impact and support environmental stewardship initiatives.

We provide customized technical and environmental guidance tailored to site- and application-specific client needs. From modeling to determine the effects of consumption on local aquifer levels or river flows, to evaluating thermal and water quality impacts of discharges, to assessing and mitigating corrosion and water quality issues in cooling systems, Ä¢¹½tv's scientists and engineers specialize in developing customized strategies to address the distinct operational and environmental challenges that data centers face.

Our environmental scientists have decades of experience with water resource challenges, including complex water rights issues, and unparalleled technical capabilities to address water management and compliance with industrial wastewater discharge pre-treatment permits, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits, and water reuse strategies.

Ä¢¹½tv's multidisciplinary consultants also assist clients with complex aspects of carbon accounting for data centers through internal and industry benchmarks and mandatory and voluntary reporting initiatives. We can help data center operators measure greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with established frameworks, such as ISO 14064, and accurately report carbon footprints including remotely connected networks of cloud and co-location facilities.

Our construction consultants support clients throughout complex design and construction phases of data center development with bespoke risk assessments, code and standards reviews, zoning permit and approval support, proactive schedule management, precise cost forecasting, and robust construction monitoring. By leveraging advanced geotechnical instrumentation, remote sensing technologies, and sophisticated data interpretation methods, we offer real-time insights into site conditions and construction progress, enabling informed decision-making and timely interventions. Our construction consultants also bring deep expertise across electric transmission and distribution systems, combined with practical experience managing utilities' large load interconnection projects, to ensure an efficient and seamless interconnection process for primary power delivery.

Our scientists and engineers provide objective, science-based assessments to support clients in high-profile disputes involving allegations of false marketing claims, occupational exposures, or environmental releases. Our independent, data-driven evaluations and investigations bridge complex science and diverse legal environments, providing clients, judges, and juries with technical clarity founded on rigorous, reproducible scientific methods.

Innovative approaches to data center design and operation include modular and prefabricated data center construction, advanced cooling techniques (liquid and immersion cooling), the adoption of AI-driven monitoring systems, nuclear colocation, and the use of rack-level lithium-ion battery energy storage systems (BESS). These trends enable rapid scalability, improved energy management and energy efficiency, and predictive maintenance, helping data centers remain competitive and future-ready while reducing operational risks.

Organizations faced with interpreting and implementing changing data center regulations — including environmental standards, cybersecurity mandates, and industry-specific codes — frequently turn to Ä¢¹½tv's technical experts for guidance. By conducting compliance audits, tailoring documentation, advising on technical best practices, and integrating lessons from failure safety incidents (e.g., fires), our data center engineers and consultants help organizations understand and comply with complex, local, national, and international requirements. 

Strategies such as optimized airflow and thermal management, renewable energy integration, and advanced energy monitoring systems help organizations reduce operational costs, support regulatory compliance, and meet environmental stewardship goals. We also help clients with their sustainability goals, addressing questions over siting, cooling options, water use, environmental compliance, and lifecycle analyses. Ä¢¹½tv's multidisciplinary engineers and scientists collaborate to help clients develop these and other custom, innovative, data-driven strategies that enhance energy efficiency and sustainability for site- and application-specific data center operations.
