Next-Gen Cooling
Next-Gen AI Liquid Cooling
We design, install and service liquid cooling for NVIDIA Vera Rubin-class AI racks and other high-density GPU deployments.
From a single high-density hall to a full facility build-out, we own the entire liquid cooling path, from the CDU and rack manifolds back to the heat rejection plant.
Direct-to-Chip Cooling
Cold plates, rack manifolds and coolant distribution units (CDUs) sized to each rack.
Facility Water & Fluid Loops
Facility water supply and secondary fluid loops, pumping, filtration and water chemistry.
Warm-Water Cooling & Dry Coolers
Warm-water designs with dry coolers for efficient, low-water heat rejection.
Chiller Plants & Cooling Towers
Central plants and cooling towers integrated with the IT cooling loop.
Rear-Door Heat Exchangers
Rack-level heat rejection for retrofits and mixed-density halls.
Leak Detection & Controls
Leak sensing, alarms, valve control and BMS integration across the loop.
Hybrid Air + Liquid Designs
Combined air and liquid cooling for halls running a mix of IT loads.
Install, Service & Retrofit
Turnkey installation, commissioning and ongoing service on live halls.
100+ kW per rack
We support rack densities above 100 kW, with designs that scale as GPU loads climb.
800V DC Ready
We are ready for 800V DC power architectures as AI facilities move to higher-voltage distribution.
Electrical Contracting
Data Center Electrical & Power
Vertex is a full electrical contractor, not just an HVAC company. We take the electrical scope from the utility service all the way down to the rack, and coordinate it in-house with the cooling and controls work so one team owns the result.
2N / N+1 Redundancy
Redundant distribution designs that keep critical loads online through maintenance and failure.
Commissioning Support
Commissioning, load bank testing and as-built documentation for every system we install.
Medium-Voltage Service & Switchgear
Utility coordination, MV service, switchgear and distribution gear.
Transformers
Transformer selection, installation and secondary distribution.
UPS Systems
UPS sizing, installation and battery systems for critical loads.
Generators & ATS
Standby generation, automatic transfer switches and load testing.
Busway, PDUs & RPPs
Busway distribution, power distribution units and remote power panels.
Rack Power Whips & Branch Circuits
Rack-level whips, branch circuits and panel schedules.
Grounding & Bonding
Grounding grids, bonding and electrical safety compliance.
Structured Cabling & Cable Tray
Cable tray, pathways and structured cabling for the white space.
