Northern Virginia — "Data Center Alley" — hosts the largest concentration of data centers on earth. As facilities are upgraded, consolidated and retired, the region has growing demand for secure data center decommissioning and demolition.
This article looks at what makes this market unique and how projects are handled.
In a dense, active market, decommissioning is frequently phased — retiring portions of a campus while others remain live — with strict security and chain-of-custody for data-bearing hardware.
These facilities are rich in transformers, switchgear, UPS systems and copper. Recovering this equipment offsets cost and supports sustainability goals.
