Data Center Controls Install in Texas
Specialized installation of data center control systems, environmental monitoring, and building automation for mission-critical facilities
Inner Loop Construction delivers comprehensive data center controls installation including building management systems (BMS), environmental monitoring, power monitoring units (PMU), and integration with existing data center infrastructure management (DCIM) platforms. Our team works with leading control system manufacturers to install, configure, and commission systems that meet the exacting standards of enterprise data centers.
Data center control systems monitor critical parameters including temperature, humidity, airflow, power consumption, and equipment status. These systems provide real-time visibility into facility operations and enable rapid response to changing conditions. Properly installed controls help maintain precise environmental conditions required for server equipment while optimizing energy efficiency.
Our data center controls installation services include complete system design, equipment procurement, installation, programming, commissioning, and ongoing support. We coordinate closely with mechanical, electrical, and IT teams to ensure seamless integration of control systems with data center infrastructure. Projects are executed with minimal disruption to ongoing operations, often during maintenance windows or phased rollouts.
Texas has become a major data center market with facilities serving cloud providers, enterprises, and colocation operators across the state. Inner Loop Construction understands the unique requirements of data center construction and the critical importance of proper controls installation for facility reliability and efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of control systems are installed in data centers?
Data center control systems include building management systems (BMS) for HVAC and facility operations, environmental monitoring systems for temperature, humidity, and airflow, power monitoring units for electrical distribution, fire suppression controls, security and access control systems, and integration platforms that connect all systems for centralized monitoring. We install and integrate these systems to work together for comprehensive facility management.
How do you ensure data center operations continue during controls installation?
We plan installations to minimize operational impact through careful scheduling, phased rollouts, and work during maintenance windows when possible. Our team coordinates with facility operations to ensure redundant systems remain operational during installation. We perform thorough testing and commissioning before cutting over to new control systems.
What certifications do your teams have for data center work?
Our teams include technicians certified in major building automation platforms, electrical systems, and data center infrastructure. We work with certified control system integrators and maintain relationships with leading manufacturers. All work meets or exceeds industry standards including ASHRAE guidelines and Uptime Institute best practices.
Can you integrate new controls with existing data center systems?
Yes, we specialize in integrating new control systems with existing infrastructure. This includes connecting to legacy BMS platforms, DCIM systems, and monitoring tools already in place. We use open protocols like BACnet, Modbus, and SNMP to ensure interoperability between systems from different manufacturers.
What environmental monitoring capabilities do you install?
We install comprehensive environmental monitoring including temperature sensors at rack level and throughout the facility, humidity monitoring, airflow sensors, water leak detection systems, and air quality monitoring. These systems integrate with alerting platforms to notify operations teams of conditions requiring attention.
Common Situations
- •A hyperscale data center operator needs to install building management systems for a new facility requiring integration with their enterprise monitoring platform
- •An enterprise data center requires environmental monitoring upgrades to improve visibility into cooling system performance and energy efficiency
- •A colocation provider needs controls installation for a facility expansion ensuring seamless integration with existing building automation systems
Example Engagement
Service Type
Data Center Controls Install
Scope
A colocation data center operator needs comprehensive controls installation for a new 50,000 square foot facility including BMS, environmental monitoring, power monitoring, and DCIM integration.
Client Situation
The operator is bringing a new data center facility online and requires complete building automation and monitoring systems. The facility must meet Tier III uptime standards and integrate with their existing enterprise monitoring platform.
Our Approach
We would design the control system architecture to meet Tier III requirements, procure and install all control hardware including sensors, controllers, and network infrastructure. Our team would program the BMS, configure environmental monitoring, integrate power monitoring, and connect all systems to the client's DCIM platform. Commissioning would include comprehensive testing of all monitoring and control functions.
Expected Outcome
The data center would have comprehensive building automation and monitoring providing real-time visibility into facility operations. Control systems would maintain precise environmental conditions while optimizing energy efficiency. Integration with enterprise monitoring would enable centralized management across the client's data center portfolio.
