Great West Life Data Centre

Wescan provided our electrical installation services for the construction of a new 68,000 ft² Data Centre to replace the aging downtown facility. This Centre houses all of the data for Great West Life across Canada which required high level security and confidentiality. The building was constructed to withstand an F4 tornado and so the level of quality and craftsmanship had to be top notch. This project included a very aggressive schedule, and we are proud to say we completed our scope of work on time and on budget. The Engineer, who specializes in these types of projects, complimented that the quality and commitment to the project was one of the best they have seen.
