DEC Department

The Design, Engineering & Construction (DEC) team is responsible for the entire process flow of delivering data centers from conception through commissioning, working with Sales, Operations, and management along the way. DEC also works closely with partner contractors to come up with a vertically integrated design and manages these partners to success through technical feedback and review, and active participation in review of schedule and budget. Many times, a role like this at other companies is purely oversight. One thing that distinguishes Vantage is that our technical staff is given the responsibility and authority to directly drive the process. When compared to external resources, our internal team can align long-term operational sustainability with value engineering and cost metrics to deliver products aligned with corporate goals. This approach empowers each member of the team to drive high- impact decisions and even more impactful results.
