By the time a data center campus reaches its third phase, expectations are clear.
Performance must be consistent.
Execution must be predictable.
Infrastructure must scale without slowing progress.
At Eagle Mountain, Mortenson Construction once again relied on GNB Buildings to deliver rapid-deployment tension fabric structures that could support expanding workforce operations and safeguard mission-critical systems during active construction.
This wasn’t a first-time collaboration.
It was a continuation of proven execution.
When a Project Reaches Phase 3 — Trust Has Already Been Earned
The Operational Demand
Site Required:
Dedicated workforce hubs for daily safety briefings and coordination
Site Required:
Enclosed crew facilities to provide shelter from changing Utah weather
Site Required:
Secure material laydown buildings to protect sensitive data center equipment
Site Required:
Controlled pre-install assembly space for mission-critical components
Without purpose-built temporary construction buildings:
-
Workforce organization becomes fragmented
-
Weather exposure risks productivity loss
-
High-value equipment faces environmental stress
-
Installation sequencing loses efficiency
On a multi-phase data center campus, consistency is critical.
Why It Mattered
Phase 3 isn’t about experimentation — it’s about refinement.
The jobsite needed scalable support structures that functioned as operational extensions of the permanent facility:
-
Reliable environments for trade coordination
-
Protected equipment storage enclosures
-
Staging zones to streamline system preparation
-
Weather-resistant workforce infrastructure
Temporary buildings had to operate like permanent assets.
-
Total Structures Installed: 5
-
Size: 70’ x 140’ tension fabric buildings
-
Phase: 3rd Phase Campus Expansion
-
Construction Partner: Mortenson Construction
-
Outcome: Scalable workforce infrastructure and protected mission-critical operations
