Catalyst Grid | Series 3 Episode 01 — The Brownfield Brief: Doubling a Live Data Center

Project VERTEX begins. This is not a blank site. This is a live data center carrying 15MW of critical load, 800 active tenant racks, and zero tolerance for failure. In this episode, we break down what makes brownfield expansion the hardest problem in data center construction — where every decision must protect live operations. You will learn: • Why brownfield is fundamentally different from greenfield • The risks of expanding a live facility • How NEC4 Option C shapes delivery in uncertain environments • The real constraints behind doubling capacity from 15MW to 30MW This is where Series 3 begins — not with construction, but with constraints. #DataCenter #Construction #ProjectControls #Brownfield #NEC4 #MissionCritical #CatalystGrid
