Data Centers & AI Factories

SSOE is Your Nimble Design Partner for Complex, High-Performance Data Centers & AI Factories. 

In today’s rapidly growing digital infrastructure landscape, data centers and AI factories demand more than just conventional design—they require engineering expertise that ensures resilience, efficiency, flexibility, and scalability. SSOE brings decades of experience in power-intensive, high-tech, and mission-critical environments throughout North America, making us uniquely positioned to support data center clients. 

Built for Complexity. Engineered for Resilience. For high-stakes, high-speed environments, clients count on partners who can anticipate challenges, adapt to change, and drive value at every stage. One way we achieve this is by leveraging our extensive experience in the adjacent high-tech sector of semiconductor fabrication, to enable modular design and offsite manufacturing for next-gen data center builds. From AI factories to edge data centers, SSOE is ready to help clients navigate the challenges of speed-to-market.
