T5 Construction has announced it has been recognized with the 2026 DCS Awards Brownfield Project of the Year for transforming a former cryptocurrency mining operation in Texas into an AI-ready data center campus for a major hyperscale customer.
- Main announcement: T5 Construction won the 2026 DCS Awards Brownfield Project of the Year for a project that converted a former cryptocurrency mining operation in Texas into a high-performance, AI-ready data center campus for a major hyperscale customer; the recognition is presented as an announcement on T5’s corporate blog. The project is dated in the context of the 2026 award and emphasized accelerated delivery under an aggressive timeline with phased energization requirements.
- Project details and implementation: The work addressed limited footprint, existing structures incapable of supporting modern mechanical loads, phased delivery requirements, and environmental constraints. Agreed technical actions included developing vertical cooling strategies, internally reinforcing existing buildings to support new chilled water infrastructure and heavy mechanical systems, and energizing portions of the campus while construction continued (phased delivery and concurrent operations).
