Fire safety at scale: protecting modern data centre construction sites

Published in Design + Optimisation Infrastructure + Asset Management

Aaron Velardi, head of North American development at Ramtech North America, explains that, as data centre construction across North America accelerates, projects are becoming larger, faster and more complex than ever before – and the consequences of getting fire safety wrong have never been higher. Traditional approaches, developed for early, smaller-scale facilities, are being stretched beyond their limits on today’s megasites. Aaron explores how evolving risks, updated NFPA guidance and...
