Mission Critical EHS Support for Data Centers
SMG delivers the expertise, capacity, and reliability required for high-risk, complex industrial environments.
Built for the Pace and Pressure of Data Center Construction
Stacked Work Can Quickly Turn Into Stacked Risk
Fast-track schedules compress every phase of work. Systems go live while construction continues. Multiple high-energy trades converge in the same space. And temporary conditions change faster than documentation can keep up.
The result: stacked work can quickly turn into stacked risk
SMG helps you keep safety, production, and quality aligned—even under intense schedule pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Because SMG specializes in mission-critical environments where speed, complexity, and high-energy work require more than traditional safety coverage. Our teams are built for the pace, pressure, and technical demands of modern data center construction.
Our advisors are specialists trained in SIMOPS, commissioning, utilities, vertical operations, environmental oversight, and high-risk work coaching. They’re selected for communication skill, technical competency, and their ability to work across owners, GCs, and contractors.
Instead of using flat “X safety per Y workers” ratios, we staff based on actual hazard severity—live systems, high-energy tasks, congestion zones, and phase ramps—so oversight aligns to risk and not just manpower counts.
We deliver proven safety playbooks, contractor qualification programs, onboarding systems, and field support that keep expectations consistent. These systems are designed for fast-moving projects with overlapping phases and constant change.
Data center schedules stack phases, activate critical systems early, and add trades quickly. SMG provides safety leadership built for this reality—planning around stacked work, live energy, commissioning activity, SIMOPS, and rapid headcount changes.
